NEED OP INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
In Imn report to the IcgiHlaturo on the
condition of tho North Carolina College
of Agriculture ami Mechanic Artn, I'reni
dent Winnton nnyn that there in n lnrgn
and growing demand for industrial ndu
cation, and that thitt nVmund inbound to
fncrenHe for many years to come.
He Bayn: "Tim rapid growth of manu
factures in our State, the certainty of
further increaHe and multiplication, the
opening up of new iuduHtrieH, the utiliza
tion of water power by mechanical or
electrical traiiMiiicHion, the development
of intensive and diverniflej agriculture,
especially trucking, fruit growing, stock
rawing and dairying, the netting up and
management of electric plantH for light
and power, of water workn, ice plants,
cold h torn are, laundrie, and other small
Industries requir ing machinery, are crea
ting a large and increasing demand for
engineers, draughtsmen, electricians, ma
chinists, mechanics, textile workers, dairy
men, stock men and farmers. The de
mand 1h far greater than the supply. It
Is our duty to wft this demand, and we
are striving to do so; but we lack teach
ers, tools, machinery and buildings."
The A. & M. College is a college for the
people and for the times. It teaches
boy to work and produce wealth. It
ought to have a thousand students
Every county should have at last ten
boys there. As this college is the only
one in the State giving industrial educa
tion, it should be well equipped for in
struction in all industrial lines. It needs
a textile building, a chapel, dormitories
for students, a machinery building and
additional equipment of tools and ma
chines. All these wants should be sup
plied. The college is a good financial in
vestment, and the State should keep it
up to the proper standard of efficiency.
Cation African Customs.
Among the human sacrifices of the
jdelta of tlie Nigezsay. Count da
Cardl, young girls occupy tbe most
Jbonored place. Theyjlaro at regular
periods offered up" to .the gods, and in
stead of shrinking frpui. this horrible
doom they accept it with pride and
gratitude. Nothing Is refused to tueBe
girls while they are alive. If one of
them sees a handsome dress or orna
incuton n woninn and expresses a de
sire to have it, the woman must give it
to her. Men are also sacrificed, though
not for religious reasons, and they
welcome death ns eagerly as the girls.
Count do Cardl once tried to save one
of those victims, but instead of thank
ing him, the man reviled hlni so bitter
ly for interfering and scolded the by
standers so heartily for delaying to
carry out the sentence that they
promptly stopped his mouth by killing
him.
The worst insult which one woman
can offer to another is to hold out the
right hand in front of her with the in
dex nnd middle finger forming the let
ter V. This means, "You will become
the mother of twins." When twins are
born in this region, they and their
mothers are killed, as a rule, and when
a mother dies lu giving birth to a child
the latter is also killed and buried with
her. It Is not superstition which Im
pels the negroes to dispose of mother
less lufants in this heartless fashion,
but the great difficulty of rearing them.
Altogether, the Information which
Count de Cnrdl has gathered during
his residence of many years In this
portion of Africa Is of rare value, espe
cially to anthropologists.

the bishop, with a merry twinkle in his
eye. "It's called 'Bradehawl' '
The other story is still better. On
one occasion when he alighted from
the train at Wheatley, the station for
Cuddesden palace, an officious porter
rushed up to him and asked, "Any arti
cles in the van, my lord?" "Articles,"
said the bishop grimly. "Yes, 39 arti
cles." Off hurried the porter and wor
ried the guard almost out of his senses
by tbe way he searched the van and
detained the train. Presently he came
back to the bishop with a crestfallen
expression of countenance. "There are
only seven, my lord." "Only seven?
Ah, you're a Dissenter then, I should
think."

It looks like the United States may be
forced to construct the Nicaraugan canal.
The following is a dispatch, Dec. 25,
from Washington:
When the senate committee on foreign
relations and inter-oceanic canals meet
JaiH 8d. It t fflnre tbnn frohnfoW-,nc
cording to a member of tbe former com
mittee, that they will be confronted with
a telling argument for the enactment of
canal legislation at this session of con
arress,
It was reported last night tbat the
I'an am a (anal company had informed
the state department and a number of
Srominent senators that Great Britain,
ermany and France have decided to
take iolot stock in the Panama water.
way and will complete it whether the
United Stat proceeds to the construc
tion oi tbe Nicaraugacanalornot This,
it was said, was not announced as a
threat, hut as a piece of good news by
une omeiaia ot uoiombian enterprise.
M. Hutin. president of the Panama com
pany, wired his representatives here to
tbe above effect and within an hour tbe
matter bad been made known to many
senators.
A majority of the members of the canal
and foreign relations committees refused
to discuss the matter on the more report
from the Panama canal agents, but all
agree tnat u tbe report is true, there can
be no other course for the United States
bat to pass the canal bill at this session
and proceed independently to the imme-
. diate construction of an all-American for
tified waterway through Nicarauga and
vosta mca.
In sneaking of the matter this morn.
ing a prominent member on the commit
tee on inter-oceanic canals stated that he
hoped the report was true, since the news
would arouse the people of the country
and force congress to take immediate
action.

"By the way," said the man who had
stopped at a farmhouse to water his
horse, "15 years ago a poor boy came
this way, nnd you took him in."
"Yes?" queried the farmer, somewhat
surprised.
"You were kind to him," went on the
stranger; "you fed him, gave him
words of encouragement and an old
suit of clothes, put a dollar in his pock
et and sent him on bis way rejoicing,

What Titer Deserved.
Not very long since an exceedingly
well dressed man about 35 was charg
ed in a north London court with being
drunk. He promptly paid his. 10 shil
lings' fine and went away. A fortnight
later a stylishly dressed woman was
charged with a' similar offense. As
she gave the same name and address I
concluded they were husband and wife.
So I called on them, and my visit was
repeated several times. They had a
very nice home, kept two servants and
had four children. I noticed a bonny
lad of 8, as I saw him several times.
Some months later I got a letter as fol
