One clerk was busy throwing mail in a combination smoker and baggage . car, :. when suddenly, without an instant's warning, he felt the car leap from the track and heard a terrific crash. When ne regained consciousness the wreck presented this chaotic con dition the two forward cars bad been plunged down a seventy foot embankment; the combination car landed iu. au. upiight position with thecal-trucks on the roof, every seat in the smoking compartment being totally demolished, while on the floor of the mail compartment was a huge angular stone weighing not less than half a ton. How the mail clerk escaped unhurt will always remain a mystery. There is probably no department of the government service in which a higher standard of devoiion to duty is maintained than in this. During a heavy freshet on. the Susquehanna river, in 1800, all bridges were swept, away and the railroad tracks along the . banks practically destroyed. Four mail clerks remained in their car until the water rising and flowing th'rbugh the doors compelled them to take an improvised raft which consisted of pieces of floating sidewalk and other debris of the inundation, lashed together On this frail craft they put their pouches, and' "ca'ref alty propelling -by poles along the curiehf, gained the post- ofnne a mile away:;: "-Tliey found this abandoned witfi: eight-:foot of water in the street at that point. They were, almost exhausted and their' condition wag precarious. Finally , however, they: were res cued by boata and taken into houses through the second-story windows. .

Big Trees of Florida. It is difficult even to guess at the age of the ancient live oaks, says Country Life in America, Christmas Annual, but some of them must number centuries and the oldest and greatest of them all is a monarch of the forest, with its outer bianches sweeping the ground in a circle ona hundred and twenty feet across, with limbs as great as ordinaay trunks of trees and bearing a garden of aerial ferns and air plants upon their bark. This venerable tree is supposed to be the largest live oak in Florida. Enormous grape-vine trunks rise sinuously irom the ground and lose themselves amid the . quarter acre of foliage that crowns this tree; the saplings that once gave them support have disappeared long years ago, their only record being the angles and curves .of. grave-vine stem to which j they lent their transcient aid in climbing skyward. A Timely Suggestion. This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife replenishes her supply of Chamberlain's" Cough Remedy. Tt is certain to be needed before the winter is over, and results are much more prompt and satisfac tory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is con tracted and before it has become settled in the system. In almost every instance a severe cold may be warded off by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first indi cation of. a cold appears. There's no danger in giving it to children for it contains no harmful sub stance. It is pleasant to take both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures.

For some years there has been a much discussion on2 the : subject of graded schools for rural and village communities. While the cities haveibeen perfecting the or ganization of their graded school systems, the villages and rural districts have been unable to make much advancement along this line. One, or even two, teachers cannot carry on a well graded school on account of the large number of classes which thorough fcradation makes necessary. It id almost a physical impossibility forj one or two teachers to conduct the large number of classes made necessary by dividing the schools into eight separate grades. Under our present' educational system, it has become necessary for the farmer to leave the farm and move into the city to secure the advantages for his children of graded schools. The problem for our rural communities is how best to secure the benefits of a graded school system so as to enable the farmer to give his children in. struction in the higher branches of learning without being obliged to leave the farm. It. is found that many farmers are not able, or do not find it desirable, to change their place of residence, and con sequently the larger educational privileges are limited to a very few of the boys and girls upon the farm. It is thought the consolidation of rural schools will solve the problem. This plan of school or ganization contemplates the disorganization of small districts and uniting them into one good, strong and well graded school. Consoli dation can, in some cases, be made with adioining rural schools, and in others with the schools of a vil Iage, where, in many cases, the nucleus of a graded school exists. The statutes in most states have been framed to meet the need of a one-room S3hool district, and be fore the change to a consolidated school could be made existing laws had to be amended. Legislative bodies move slowly, espec ially in school matters: but, after years of persistent effort, the lead ers of educational thought have at last succeeded in making some im pression in school legislation and our lawmakers are besinmug to realize that the education of our youth is a state and not a local matter. Consolidation is today proving a success in a great many of the states of the union, notab Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, .Nebraska and Kansas. From "The Consolidation of Country Schools: The Plan and Its Mer its," by Supt. Frank Kelson, in American Monthly Review of. Re views for December. llow to Prevent Croup. It will be good news to the moth ers of small children to learn that i croup can be prevented. The first sigu of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a rough coug.h. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child be comes hoarse, or even after tho rough cough appears, and it will dispell all symptoms of croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of moth ers and has never been known toJ fail. It is in fact the only remedy that can always be depended npon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale at Muench's. For Sale.
