No Summer School lor Teachers This Year. State Labor Reports to Be Issued. The 'penitentiary authorities announce that two convicts both negroes escaped from the convict camp at Bowden's. One is James Wilson from Pitt county, serving ten years for burglary, age 22. He has a scar on the back of the left hand. The other is Lee Jackson from Mecklenburg for burglary, ten years, 45 years old, has a broken nose. President Win3ton of the Agricul tural & Mechanical College says that owing to lack of funds that there will be no summer school, for teachers this year. "Last year about a thousand teachers attended the school which was one of the best ever held in this State and lasted almost an entire month, The cost then was about $2,000, though really $2,lb0 is needed in order that there should be no charges for tuition, Last year the Peabody fund gave $1,000 but this year it has given nothing- and the college is very short of funds, asjt gets only $25,000 annual appropriation and will have to patch up its heating Dlant. which was very defective and limited, several of the buildings in "eluding the Auditorim not being heated at all and some of the dormitories being so poorly heated that the inmates have had no inconsiderable discomfort. It is to be regretted that Raleigh did not subscribe a large sum to get this school Greensboro gave a thousand dollars to get North Carolina Teachers Assembly which will be in session in a few weeks. The Agricultural Department today issued a circular regarding labor in the State and also in the line of securing imigrants if the people desire them, and so with the circular goes out a question blank, the answers to which will give the department an idea of what the North Carolina people really want, and "will show whether the immi gration of farm labor upon a wage basis is' desired by the laborers. Thousands of the circulars -and the blanks will be sent out. Secretary Bruner of the Department made the circular public today. It boars today's date. NEW BERN BOY WEDS.

There are some tribes where a challenge to a duel means inevitably that both men must die. When an Indian feels aggrieved he demands n combat. The day for the same Is fixed far In advance and is made the occasion of a little celebra tion. The entire tribe assembles. The braves sit In a circle, behind them their squaws and the young bucks. The offended man Is armed with a rifle or a shotgun. Tho challenged nrlnrtnnl Is unarmed. At a? word both men arise and face each other, the un armed man baring his breast to the bullet of his adversary . With eyes riveted on the little round hole at the end of the barrel pointed at him, the doomed man must fnce the protracted ordenl of expecting death at any in stant without tho least sign of weak ening. The executioner mny bold his gun as long ns be pleases In order to try to brenk down his enemy, uo muj raise It and lower It or hold It steadily on the man under the frightful strain, but not even with air eyelid must the unfortunate betray his anxiety.

Stung by the wholesale criticism lately heaped upon the war office forjits unprepared ness and incapacity in providing the Manchurian army with men, guns and munitins the army organ today lays bare what has been done since the opening of hostilities giving the exact figures, From these it appears up to March 12, the war office had despatched 13,081 officers, 761,467 men, 146,408 horses, 1,521 gnns, and 316,311 tons of munition and supplies to the front.' Practically all that the Siberian railroad could pos sibly transport Full half of the im mense army of 774,554 officers and men have been put into action. It is esti mated the total of killed, wounded anc died of disease, sick and captured ag gregating nearly four hundred thous and men. The army organ states tht the army in the far east when the wai began was hardly worth the name oi an army. No figures are given bupl is known there were not more than sixty thousand, but it defends the lack and preparedness on the ground the emperor desired to avoid war, there fore refrained from sending reinforce ments which surely would have pro voked it. The criticism on account of Port Arthur was provisioned for a gar rison of twelve batallions. The decis- ion to send thirty battalions there being taken so late that the original calcula- tion of supplies could not be remedied, ST. SWITHIN'S DAY.

Borne years ago the records of Green- leh observatory were examined ror twenty years with a view to ascer taining whether as a, matter of fact a rainy July 15 Is. usually followed dj I rainy period approximating to forty ilavs. ... - : It was found that tbe-years in which St Swithin'8 day had given no rain were rather wetffci' dufjhg the follow Ins forty days than other years.

The origin Of the superstition was probably a terrible flood which in 1313 devastated crops. DEAN SWIFT. B Merer Flatter, u V Wa Urn; Yet FuetmatU. Deau Swift never flatters. When vnneea to him vet When asked, to a dlnuer party by a secretary of state he insists upon drawing up a list of the company. Even ladles have to bow be neath the yoke. However beautiful, wealthy or high born, tbey must al ways appear at suppliants for Dr. Swift's acquaintance. Even thsn his rule la far from easy. "Lady Burlington," aayi he, 1 hear von mu sinsr. Slmr m a song." Her ladrshlD resents such an unceremoni ous address and refuses. "Why, mad am," saya Swift, "I suppose you take me for one of your poor English hedge parsons. Slug when I bid you." As, Lord Burlington only langba, the lady bursts Into tears and leaves tht room. This does not soften Swift -Ht meets her a few days after. "Pray, madam, art you to proud and 111 natured now as when I last saw your Is his greet Ing. The man's fascination Is to strong that all yield to him. "Dean Swift tnd i;:sWrU!iu!s." PAINFULLY SEDATE. A Profeaaor'a Evening Tarty la the . Parla LaU" Quarter.-, ' "It was difficult to Imagine that I (vas In the heart of Tarls, among people bred and born in the capital," snys a writer telling of tho section of the Lat in quarter in which the professors of. the University of Taris have their homes. "These men, these luminaries of science, how different they looked among A-ir womankind! Since then I have visited many professors' homes and have found them, all curiously alike. No matter wheVuer the npart- ment be on a seeopd, third or fourth floor, whether It be an t-xpens-lve or cheap one, -the inmnteo pre all alike, talk alike, dress alike.;. If you have seen one home, you have seen them all. Follow me to a fourth floor in the Rue Gay-Lussac. We ure ushered Into the drawing room. The furniture is ma hogany, always mahogany, and of a bad period. There are uo flowers, but a dusty f cru in a majolica pot; on the mantelpiece a clock and a candela bra, with framed photographs In the spaces between; over tho cottage pi ano the portrait of M. le Professeur in the green embroidered uniform of a member of the Academy of Science, with his dress sword, over which he generally stumbles. But do not think that the professors' families are blind to beauty. They will admire and ap preciate a work of art as well as you or I, but in their homes they consider beauty a negligible quantity. They also give very little attention to their bodies to the Inner or outer mhn. I bat'e often wondered whether the same tailor supplies them all with their old rashloned coats. ; "Nor does the Inner man fare much better. The cooks In their establish ments seem to be altogether different creatures from those we : meet else where. They eschew slung, Shelr graui- aiar Is better, but their cooking is worse very much worse-J-thon hi the homes of the less Intellectual members of society. The women form n distinct (ypo. They seem to belong to a past generation, and their dress Is In keep ing with the style of their hair. Liv ing among themselves, they appear to have no notion of what Is occurring in the worldly part of Taris. Their dress makers are 'of the quarter,' and their milliners make their hats with the odds and ends brought to them. Such a thing as a fashion paper never crosses their path. I am certain these -Indies are much more Interested in the latest microbe than lu the latest hat. They have little notion of comfort. . 'An evening party at one of their houses is a never to be forgotten en tertalument for the outsider. They still dance the schottish, but the greater part of the evening is devoted to what are called 'society games,' a gaping trap to the butterfly from across the Seine. I hove forgotten the name of the fiendish game, hut I re call that we were all seated in a ring about thirty of ns old aud young, and we bud to answer quest ions and find out some r.ntodlluvlan fact. To them it wus child's play, but If it had not been for the slx-yenr-old child of the house who prompted me I should have cut a poor figure. Imagine coming from the electric lights of the boule vards to the oil lamps of the profess ore s;ilon ana being suddenly called npon to know that Dalmatla wus con quered by Metelhis In 118 B. G!

My body ana face were covered with tores. One day it would seem to be better, and then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching. I have been sick several times, but never in my life did I experience such awful Buttering as with this eczema. I had made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest, I had tried many different doctors and medicines without success, and my mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, insisting that l try them. I began to feel better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment. 1 continued with the Soap and Ointment, and have taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolv ent, and consider myself well.

Lord noneberr WUe Rendtnc ul the Sin of Borrow ln Books In n speech made at the opening of a new Carnegie library In London Lord Itoschcry said, ns reported in the Lon don Mail: Knowledge Is power, but that does not necessarily mean book knowledge. Hook knowledge is only a part of the knowledge that constitutes. power. Books are excellent things 4t would be high treason to deny that coming here to open a free library but i gluttony of books Is just as bad as lurfeit of anything else, and there are a grent many excellent people In this world who spend all their days in read ing and who are of no use to them selves or to anybody else. The fact Is that an appetite for read ing without digesting la as unwnoie- some as any other form of gluttony. The man of vigorous life among men would beat the man of books always and at everything In this world. Li braries, however, give them the tools with which they can work out their own salvation. . . . . v Mr. Gladstone, by the aid of immense Industry, was perhaps the only man have ever known who was able to ad just the balance between his life of study and bis life of action satisfac torily to himself and to others. But books, can also be an end In themselves. Tbe man with a happy taste for books, can coma in, tired and soured though he may be, and fall Into the arms of came great author who would raise blm from tbe ground and take him Into a now heaven and a new earth, where he would forget his bruises and rest his limbs and return to tht world a fresh and happy man. No limitation of means can lu thsse days excuse anybody from not huylng books, but we must distinguish be tween books to be read and books to bt bought. There are two, further classes of books the books that art borrowed from friends and returned and tht books that are borrowed and not re turned. The nonreturnlng of books has ended more friendships and terminated more affections than any other cause of which I am cognizant The man who borrows one volume out of a tot of volumes and never returns It It man who should bo treated like vermin trapped or shot at sight or any other of the punishments wuicn mignt Dt extended to the lowest and rtlest ot mankind.
