In the great biography of many great men we find marked mention made of mothers' influence in directing their genius or otherwise affecting their career. Washington was only eleven years old when his father died, leaving the mother with five children to educate and direct. She used daily to gather her flock around her and teach them the principles of religion and morality from a little manual in which she wrote all her maxims. This manual was preserved by Washington as one of his most precious treasures, and was of ten examined by him in early life. It is said that the simple majesty of the moral greatness of Mary Washington called forth the following remark from certain foreign officers, on retiring from her presence : "It is not surprising that America should produce great men, since she can boast of such moth ers." In the biography of Oliver Cromwell we find frequent allusion made- to the noble character of his mother. The following is an example : "A woman possessed of the most glorious faculty of self help when other assistance fail ed her, and who preserved in the gor geous palace of Whitehall, the simple tastes that distinguished her in the old brewery at Huntington, Avhose only care, amidst all her splendor, was for the safety of her son in his dangerous eminence." Watt, the great civil engineer, was greatly' influenced by his mother, whom he described as a "brave, brave woman ; none now to be seen like her." Cuvier, the geologist, Is another in stance of a mother's influence. She learned Latin in order to assist him in his studies ; she also laid the founda tion of drawing and literature in his mind and so helped him in all his studies that he attributed the greater portion of his success to her efforts. De Maistre asserted that the noble charac ter of his mother made all women ven erable in a is eyes. He described her as "an angel to whom God lent a body for a brief-season." Samuel Johnson, even in time of . his greatest difficulty, contributed largely out of his slender means to the comfort of his mother, who exercised remarkable influence over him. But the instances of nota ble mention of the influence of moth ers are too numerous to cite. As. a rule, . our first instructor, the mother, is our example. Nero's moth er was a murderer on a gigantic scale. Byron's mother was vain, ill-tempered, and violent, and so was Byron. The child learns by simple imitation and without effort. The most important era of life is that of childhood, when the child begins to color and mold himself by companionship with others. Every new educator effects less than his predecessor. Thus it is, through this influence over the mind and the molding of the character in childhood, that mothers ultimately influence and direct the course cf events of the world's r SCOTLAND NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, EEPOET OP COUNTY SUPEE INTENDENT. Interesting Facts About School Districts. The Board of Education met in Hal ifax Oct. 8, with Mr. W. E. Spruill in the chair. The following report of the Superintendent was received and ap proved, and it was ordered that all the recommendations contained therein should be carried into effect : "In compliance with orders from this Honorable Board, the undersigned visited No. 7. district for the purpose of ascertaining the advisability of cut Ling off a part of this District and form ing a new one. He found that a ma jority of the persons who would ordi narily send their children to the school now taught by Miss Dickens, were in favor of a new District with the W. t W. Railroad for the Eastern boundarv. The Southern line to start at a point on this road so far South as by running west it would embrace all the patrons of the one white and the one colored school near Mr. Bradley's. But the patrons of the joint school in the up per corner of said district, are opposed to being cut off from No. 7 district, un less a new district can be formed for them, by taking a part of No. 7, and parts of Nos. 11 (Mr. Stainback's) and 16 (Mr. Hux's). And such being the case, he would recommend that district No. 7 remain as it is, until such time as the Board may think proper to make a new district of the section that pat ronizes the joint school. After this shall have been done he would recom mend that the two schools in the vicin ity of Mr. Bradley's be formed into a new district with boundary as above described. "He then visited Mr. Ed Carter's district, No. 2, and attended a full meet ing of the parents and guardians of the white children of the district, and after a full discussion of the subject in dis pute he came to the conclusion, that if a line were run, beginning near the north-east corner (just east of Mr. Glasgow's) and running south through the district, whereby Mess. Keeter, Smith, Spence, A. T. and R. A. Dick ens could be taken from district JNo. 2, and assigned to No. 16, and if in addi tion to this, the Board would order the committeemen of district No. 2 to open their schools about the middle ot July instead of later, the trouble would be in a great measure satisfactorily ad justed. He then visited No. 1, Mr. Taylor's district to see about a site for a colored school house, and found that a very el igible situation could be bought for $25. This seemed a high price for an acre of land ; but when he found that no one else was disposed to sell land for this purpose at any price, and that the location offered had upon it a fine spring which was more valuable than a well that would cost more than $10.00 in that section, he thinks it would be advisable to give the price demanded. "While in district No. 1, he endeav ored to find out the causes for the small attendance at Miss Weller's school. The chief reason, he thinks is the fact, that all the patrons of the school being raisers of tobacco, the time selected for teaching was not the most convenient. He also visited No. 13, (Mr. Hardy's), to see about moving a school house to a more central loca tion, and came to conclusion that it had better remain where it is. The slight advantage to be gained by the removal would not justify the expense." The Board ordered that in cutting off a part of district No. 2, that the line beginning near the north-east corner shall end at the Ebenezer road and that in the section assigned to district No. 16, only the whites shall be affec ted, the colored in said section to re main in district No. 2. Mr. Spruill is ordered to arrange with Mr. Neville about the survey of the Lewis land. The charges preferred against W. E. Ivey, committeeman of district No. 18, were withdrawn. Allen Ivey, committeeman of same district, was removed and John B. Thompson was appointed in his place. It was also ordered that Mr. Ed Car ter of district No. 2 shall have a cer tain school house for colored school in his district ceiled. The secretary of Board reported that certain rente collected by Mr. S. M. Gary had been turned over to the treasurer. Three petitions signed by many resi dents of district No. 7, praying that their district be not divided, we-e laid before tbe Board. All. can get well cheaply.

In all temperate climates the apple grows freely, and might be obtained in practically unlimited quantities. Tnat it is not more used than it is probably due to the fact that, being so plentiful, it is undervalued. Yet almost every one likes the fruit m some fashion, and It should form a part of at least two meals out of every three .during the year round, for even when the fresh fruit is not in season, canned, dried,- or "evaporated" apples may always be had. "Chemically," says a writer in the North American Practitioner, "the apple is composed of vegetable fibre, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime, and water. Fur thermore, the German analysts say that the apple contains a larger percentage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is admira bly adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter lecithin of the brain and spina! cord. It Is perhaps for this reason though but rudely understood that the old Scandinavian traditions represent the apple as the food of the gods, who, when they felt themselves to be growing feeble and infirm, resort ed to this fruit to renew their powers of mind and body." Not only the phosphorus, but the acids of the apple are of singular use for persons of pedentary habits, whose livers are apt to be too slow of action. These acids aid the liver in its work of eliminating from the body the noxious matters, whieh, if retained, would make the brain.heavy and dull, or, in time, would cause rheumatism, jaundice, or skin eruptions, and other allied troub les. The malic acid of apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess of chalky matter engendered by eating too much meat. Ripe apples are probably the least fermentable of all fruits, except possi bly the banana. For this reason ripe and sound apples may be eaten by most persons in the hottest weather ; but even the apple is safest when cooked. We have the support of eminent medical authority in saying that the most healthful way to cook apples is to pare and core them, and bake in a moderate oven. If the apple is of a quite sour variety it may be necessary to add a little sugar, putting about a saltspoonful in the hollow whence the core was extracted. Contrary to com mon belief, apples baked in their skins are the least healthful of cooked apples. Learn to Listen. Exchange. Would you be popular? Learn to listen while others talk. Our friends do not caie much about us and our affairs. They are absorbed in their own concerns. He must have the art of story telling, and then must- tell only the best stories, who is destined to "hold forth" in a tete-a-tete or a larger assemblage. To the man or wo man who wants popularity the motto should be always: "Listen! listen! listen !" It shouldn' tw "talk." Electric Bitters.

"It' too heavy for me," said Jimmy. "Well, you are big n I am, 'cause we are twins, said Nellie. "I won't carry it" said the little cousin, with a pout. Mamma looked from her open win dow and saw the trouble. "One day I saw a picture of three little birds," she said. "They wanted a long stick carried somewhere, but it was too large for any one of them to carry. Wl at do you think they dfd?" "We don't know," esid the twins. "They all took hold of it together," said mamma, "and then they could thaw-ay with it." The children laughed and looked at each other. Then they all took hold of the basket and found it very easy to carry. "The way to do all the hard things in this world," said mamma, "is for every one to help a little. No one can do them all ; but every one can help." Two lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebo Thomas, of Junction City, 111, was told by her doctors she had consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Flori da St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consump tion, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
