Several fields of corn in the vicinity
of Grass Lake have been cut, due to its
rapid maturity on accouLt of the dry
hot weather.
Stockholders of the new bank at Ann
Arbor, known as the State Security
bank, met last week and elected a
hoard of directors and other officers.
A. L. Noble was selected as its president.
The mail facilities of Grass Lake
west are poor. The Day express takes
a mail west at ten o'clock solar time,
and not until seven in the evening does
another mail go in that direction. It
is to be hoped that Postmaster Cooper
will he able to induce the postal authorities to attach a postal car to the 11 a.
m. express.—Grass Lake News.
Brothel* you are indeed to be pitied,
but what have you to say of us poor
mortalsat Saline who only have a west
mail once in twenty-four hours,
that*being at ten o'clock each forenoon.
"Pnere is time enough between mail
'trains for half the continent to be sickened and die with cholera before we
would get the news.
A few days ago Frankie Swindc and
Irving Jacobs captured a mamma quail,
nest, eggs and all, and brought their
captive and the spoils home, where they
tried to persuade the quail to finish her
job of hatching the eggs; this she refused point blank to do, and in the face
of all their threats she never quailed.
This left the boys in a dilemma. But
just leave Young America alone for
getting out of a scrape. Frank was
the owner of abantam hen that had long
been yearning for maternal responsibilities; here was her opportunity;
the eggs were placed uuder her and
she just got right down to business,
and in three days came oft' the nest
triumphant, mothering as line a lot of
cute little quails as you over sa«r.—"Milan Leader.
It was quite au amusing sight last
Tuesday to see three Ann Arbor young
ladies who had started for South Lyon.
They hired a horse and buggy and got
safely Into the country a number of
miles when the young lady driving was
precipitated to the ground by the horse
starting up from off a walk. She retained her presence of mind and held
on to the reins and the horse stopped.
When to guard against further accident
one of the ladies led the horse, the
other walked on the other side with
the whip in her hand, while the third
proudly sat in the buggy holding the
ribbons. At last as the horse appeared
to have repented of his rash act and
became very quiet,the ladies re-entered
the carriage and reached their destination without further excitement. Theii"
return trip was without inoident.—Ann

How to Make a Live Town.
The following recipe for making a
live town is taken from an exchange,
which speaks advisedly:
"Grit, push, snap, vim, energy,
churches, schools, academies, morality,
enterprise, harmony, cordiality, cheap
property, advertising, heahlty location,
talking about it, help to improve it,
patronize.its merchants, Taith exhibited
by good works, honest competition In
business, help all public enterprises,
elect, good men to office, speak well of
its public-spirited cilixens, and be one
them yourself. Remember that, ovary
dollar invested in permanent local improvements is that much on interest.
Always cheer on the men that go in for
improvements.

Chance in Great
iveries.
It is a^^^^^Bct that some of the
very giJ^^^Hr human achievements
have b^HPy chance. Many among
the most important discoveries in the
history of mankind have been made by
men who were not seeking the great
truth they found. Science is the result
not only of study, but of precious accidents; and this is as true of the deeds
told of in history. It is an interesting
study in itself,—the influence which
happy blunders and unintended happenings have had upon civilization.
In exploration, accident has played
its important part as in invention.
Some of the most valuable explorations
have been made by men who had no
more idea of being explorers than they
had of inventing a railroad to the moon;
and it is a striking fact that the first
inland exploration of America, and the
two most wonderful journeys iu it,were
not only accidents, but the crowning
misfortunes and disappointments of the
men who have hoped for very different
things.
Exploration,intended or involuntary,
has achieved not only great results to
civilization, but in the doing has scored
some of the highest feats of human
heroism. America in particular, perhaps, has been the field of great aud
remarkable journeys; but the two men
who made the most astounding journeys in America—and probably in all
history—are still almost unheard of
among us. -They are heroes whose
names are as Greek to the vast majority
of Americans, albeit they are men in
whom Americans particularly should
take deep and admiring interest. They
were Alvar Nunez Cabeza de "Vaca, the
first American traveler; and Andres
Docampo, the man who walked farther
than any one.—C. F. Lummis, in June

Effectual instruction in patriotism
through the public schools is now a
subject receiving the earnest consideration of educators throughout the
country. All agree that some specific
plan should be adopted for education in
citizenship. Some of the most eminent
educators believe that while all patriotic acniversaries are fittingly observed, this plan should also include a
daily ceremony of exercises about the
national flag. Others as eminent fear
that the daily ceremony would become
at last a meaningless farm, and that the
observance of the great occasions alone
will better serve the purpose.
Dr. W. T. Harris, United States
Commissioner of Education is of the
opinion that the broadest and truest
patriotism must be stimulated by making the best use of special opportunities.
In -.t recent interview, while the National Public School Celebration of
Columbus Day was under discussion, he
said:—
'•I heartily indorse the idea of this
celebration by the schools because I
think all legitimate occasions should he
used to impress on the minds of children their connection with the the
history of the world. Patriotism seems
to me to be an individual's feeling of
substantial interest in the welfare of
his nation.
a We do not want any patriotism
which gets in the way of the broader
and more Christian sentiment of
brotherly love toward all mankind.
But patriotism is a more Christian
sentiment than love of home, lovo of
one's town, or country, or one's section.
Very much of the so-called instruction
in patriotism in the schools is apt to
degenerate into self-glorification, or
sectionalism. Our Fourth of July
celebrations have too often cultivated
a narrow patriotism. But this Columbian celebration is a far broader opportunity for stimulating the hotter
kind of patriotism.   .
I am not in favor of daily exercises
in the school which look toward the
cultivation of patriotism by some ceremonial, because I think that a daily is
apt to heccm-s unconscious habit, and a
mere empty form. A yearly celebration is far more impressive than a daily
celebration, and the national celebration of the fo.tt'." "Hundredth anniversary
must lie still more so.

Early yesterday morning a very distingue-looking lady came down Sixteenth street, walking very fast, sa*s
the Denver Sun. Upon her head six-
wore a large, ■pink, funnel-shaped sun-
bonnet. Her dress was so well made
and fashionable that everyone had lo
take two or three looks to decide
whether or not she *.s-as from the country or whether she "was a city belle in
disguise. She held her head down so
that no one could see her face. A
young man stood in ■ the doorway of
the People's Bank building, and when
she passed said: "Go it, bonnets!" in
a tone which he didn't intend for her
to hear. But she did. and in spite of
herself she looked up for a second. To
his consternation he itecognized her as
one of the society girls way up in the
social scale. She re cognized him at
same time, and. covered with confusion, she darted i ato the doorway
and pulled off the ob noxious headgear.
"Don't you dare to IbII anyone! Call
a carriage for me an-i send me home."
"What   on  earth ?"    "Papa  made
me," she said, nearly crying. "He said
that girls were too proud nowadays,
