THE siaHD&nD. mday, January 4, 1889. Jas. P. Cook, Editors ami J3. E, Harris, Proprietors. 1888 1S89, Another year has been numbered -with the irrevocable past Another page in the history of each one of us, in the history or the world has been turned. On this page hare been faithfully inscribed the juccesses and failures, the hopes re alized and the hopes deferred, the joys and the griefs, that have effect ed mankind. The cold hard facts ;ire recorded for or against us by an unerring historian. It is becoming to glance back over the past year, that we may be grateful for the blessings, and submissive to the chastenings. While our harvests have not been S abundant as in some former years, and onr barns and storehouses are not over-loaded with those things which indicate plenty for man and Jbeast, yet we have been unusually successful in gathering what was pjade, and have enough to provide for our necessities. No devastting floods have swept over our land, no scorching drought has blasted our crops, no tornadoes and cyclones have destroyed life and property, and no earthquakes have frightened its. We have just passed through the throes of a great national elec tion without war and bloodshed, and tho' our southern people have not the ruler of their choice, our confi dence in the strength of our na tional constitution, and the stability of our American institutions is so great that we apprehend no grave disaster from the result of that elec tion. Besides we are thankful for onr success in electing our State officers, which after all are of jnore immediate importance to our people. While our hearts are sad t the remembrance of the noisome pestilence that desolated so fair a part of our south-land, we are grate ful for the measure of health and itrenth that has been ours. As the new year opens to us, le! jeach one, without making any un necessary resolutions for some one has said that "hell is paved with good resolutions'' put forth his best ef forts, and by continuous industry pud untiring effort make th best of the untold possibilities that lie pefore us. Let the goal of our am bition be not simply to further our anfnwla Una to aid 111 tlio lid ancement of civilization, and the fl'evation of mankind. stAxdakd xotes. He' s a nice fellow !

There are a number of problems which have appeared from time to time in this columu, and as no answers have been sent in, we sup pose it devolves upon us to auswer them, lest we get up the reputation for suggesting questions we cannot solve. "Name tie outletof the Med iterranean Bea." There are two : the Strait of Gibraltar, and the atmos phere. . The Mediterranean is such a vast area of water, having only one connection with any other body of water, and that the narrow Strait mentioned, being only about 10 miles wide, that the evaporation ex ceeds the supply brought in by the rivers that flow into it and its trib tary seas. The deficiency is suppli ed' by a surface current through the Strait from the Atlantic. With this excessive evaporation, the". water of this sea would in time become very salty and brackish, like that of the Caspian and other inland seas, were it not for the fact that as the water becomes more salty, it becomes hea-ier, and escapes to the Atlantic a3 an under current through the Strait of Gibraltar. This also an swers the question as to the direction of the current through the Strait of Gibraltar. "When will the next century be gin ?" Jan. 1st, 1901. Because the 1900th year will be required to fin ish the 19th century, just as the 100th year would be required to make up the first century; if it were not, then there would be only 99 years in the first century.

The auswer to the problem of our last ipsne is 101 and 1.01 : Their product and sum are the same 102.01. Frut n Teacher ofSo. IO Township. In the discussion of education and its ultimate consequences we feel that it is a theme paramount to any other consideration as regards human attainments. What is the proper thing for us to do with otyr children is a question that should arrest the attention ami inspire every heart with a zeal akin to despara tion. We would like to say why these things. are true, but want of time and space forbids. The very idea of saying all that could be said in defense of the foregoing assertion overwhelms us with ten thousand reasons as they rush upon us. Well, says one, if education involves such stupendous results and carries with it s.idi possibilities, I might as well awake out of my lethargy ind look mors to the interest of my children, by facilitating their means for edu cation. And so the w rld thinks, and so the majority of men try to act, but tilery is a serious impedi ment to the progress of children at school, which many of our good parents invaiiably overlook, and what is it? Why, my dear friends, gladden the hearts of the children by visiting them and their teacher oftener. Show them that you are interested and that it is a matter of fact and reality that their useful ness, success and enjoyment depends largely upon theireducation. Don't give the teacher "Hail Columbia"' in the presence of your child then j next morning drive him off to school 1 with a hobble rod. It may be an ! untrue version of the matter, but you had better make the child think his teacher is all right; just the fel low rou've been looking, for. Rviuliaff for Children. There ouht to be more home reading provided for children; some thing suited to their tastes and vears. It is not to be expected that child ren will be interested in the news papers and books of older people any more than it is to be expected that they will successfully carry on the business that is suited to older minds. There are many books of travel, history, and biography, also some books of healthful fiction, written especially for children that would help them to cultivate a taite for reading, and inspire in them an eagerness for knowledge that will surely lead to better things. There are also many little papers, and periodicals for children that ought to he more widely used. Great care should be used in the selections cf these, for unfortunate ly there are a great many books, etc., that would only poison the minds of young readers, and their very cheap ness adds to their power to d5 evil.
