Brother Kingsbury of the Wil mington Messenger very aptly says that ' this country is to celebrate the discovery of the American continent. by a man who never discovered it or so much as saw it after it was dis covered." This is all so, and yet nothing is more common than to hear the expression that "Columbus dis covered America." He discovered one of the West India Islands and then returned to Spain. Every school boy ought to know it. His expedi tions however did lead to the dis covery of the Continent by Araericus Vespucius, from whom it takes its name, and, for this, Columbus de serves the great share of praise. Enjoyable Picnic Correspondence Evkning Visitor On Saturday, May 24, the Mt Moriah Sunday school, spent a very pleasant day on the banks of Neuse river, at Battle's bridge. About 9 o'clock the school gathered under the cooling branches of the large oaks which formed a dense ehade near the water, and the little children enjoyed themselves in the Beveral good rope swings which were provided by their superintendent, R H Gower, who is always ready and willing to afford pleasure to his school. They also had several nice boats on ii at l - .3 : nAniiA. wmcu me young lameo ttuu geuuo- men enjoyed themselves rowing up and down the river. When the hour for dinner was announced the large crowd, increased by friends and visi tors from Raleigh, Clayton and other places, repaired to the tables which where set in a beautiful shade about fifty yards from the river and within 30 feet of one of the best springs of coolest and purest water. I know it is sometimes thought that people exaggerate in speaking of a pic nic table, but we certainly never saw one better filled with all that was necessary to satisfy the ' inner man." In fact theie was enough on this oc casion to tickle the eye, heart and palate of the most fastidious epicure. After the dinner had been thoroughly enjoyed the children repaired to their swings, and we noticed several young couples gliding leisurely in the boats, and some would accidentally (inten tionally perhaps) let their boats run on the sand-bar or some large rock, both get on the same seat and talk for an hour or so probably ,about how to get the boat off. The whole day was enlivened by sweet music from violin, guitar, etc, rendered by Messrs Pool, Harris and Robertson. When the hour for separation came, the superintendent of the school gath ered the crowd on the banks, when they joined heartily and devoutly in singing, "Shall we Gather at the River," which brought tears to many eyes. The company then dispered to their several homes feeling that the day had been well spent and hoping that they may bepermitted to enjoy many such occasions. N R P. Wake Forest Items. Correspondence Evening Visitor. Wake Forest, May 23 The grass is being mowed in the campus and with two or three good rains will be very pretty indeed by commeneement. Mr J H Mills, of the Thomasvillo Orphanage passed through here to day and seemed to be in his usual joyjal spirits, creating a great deal of laughter by hii Jokes. Be It one the alumni of Wake Forest, and of whom she may well feel proud. The cloeine exercises of Wake Forest Academy of which Misses 'Simmon and Fort are the Principals will be held next Friday. The program will consist of recitations, dialogues, speeches, orations, etc. Workmen are engaged iu cutting double d-wrs between the library and Bociety halls, thus facilitating to a very great extent the passage to and from the same, which heretofore has been a matter of extreme difficulty. The new chandaliers for the Euze lian Society have arriyed and been placed in position. The faculty very kindly consented to furnish gas for the halls and the oil oil lamps will be dispensed with. Mrs Claude Kitchin, of Scotland Neck, arrived on the hill today and will spend commencement with her parentsj Professor and Mrs L P Mills. C. B. E. A CRUEL SCHOOL LAW. Illinois is not the Only State In Which it is Iu Force. Chicago Herald. Dr David Booth, of Sparta, 111, has recently called attention in the Jour nal of the American Medical Associa tion to a rule common in our schools that all children going out in school hours are kept in during one third of the corresponding play hours. While it is true that children are likely to make the necessities of nature an ex cuse for gettinga few minutes holiday during school hours, this rule is both cruel and injurious in practice. Chil dren dislike beiDg kept from play, and in schools where this rule is in force they overcome so far as possible the temporary desire to obey the calls of nature. With older children this may not be so injurious, and tends to train them to regular habits. But there can be no doubt that the rule involves the torture of very many obedient and studious, and the more they obey the rule the more they must damage their health. Dr Booth describes two cases of illness due to this barbarous rule, and a St Louis paper has recently described a case of a boy of 6 years dying of brain fever brought on by irritation consequent upon the enforcement of this silly law. The teacher's repeatel refusals to let the child leave the room during school hours so preyed upon the lit tle sufferers mind that he made ap peals daring his delirium to be al lowed to "go out." it is almost beyond beuet tnat sucn a rule exists iu a civilized country; but it is a fact. Africa's Snow-Crowned Moun tain. When the scientific world laughed at the humble missionary Rebmann, who reported over forty years ago that he had found a snow-crowned mountain under the equator, he merely replied: "I was brought up in Switzerland, and I ought to know a snow capped peak when I see one." That was the first event in the his tory of modern discovery in Central Africa, and it is only within the past few weeks that we have had the de - tails of Dr. Hans Meyer's final tri umph over Kilima-Njaro, whose snowy, Kibo dome had defeated the efforts of a number of explorers. Rebmann vould have felt repaid for all the ridicule that was show ered upon him if he could have seen Dra Meyer's companion, a practised Al pine climber, with his ice axe and rope and snow spectacles cutting steps up the steep ice slope. Both climbers paused to rest every ten minutes, because the rarity of the air made continuous effort impossi ble. In these periods of rest they could dimly see the far-distant plains through the openings in the clouds telow them. ' Then, when on their second attempt, three dayB after their first effort, they' reached the highest point in Africa, about 19,680 feet above the sea, they found them selves on the edge of a greatorater over a mile across and., 650 deep, the icy mantle sinking in , terraces from the edge of the crater to the floor, wh'le through a great can in the west Wall a mighty glacier, about a mile: and a all, long, Bwept down the mountain Side. , ' ,! -a-:- 5 -t-Vifl Ki'M ru V- : .
