^5fHE Pyramids of Egypt were erected as a monument to the
personal vanity of her ancient Kings, and these “ Sphinx of
the Desert ” have stood for forty centuries as a warning to
all nations against indulging the personal pride of their leaders.
We have on our statute books many a “ Sphinx of Progress,"
put there as a monument to the personal pride and monumental
vanity of our leaders, and these fierce phantoms in the industrial
horizon can be seen clear across the continent standing like a
spectre against tho approach of civilization.

Teacher Training for the Sunday
School.
Teacher Training is a system of in-
struction for men and women engaged
in the Sunday School work, designed
to prepare and equip them for better
service. It is pursued by classes
formed in the community or Sunday
f ohool under the leadership of some
local worker. Courses of study have
been prepared, adapted to the needs
of such classes.
AN ORGANIZED DEPARTMENT.
The Texas Sunday School Associa-
tion (Interdenominational,) of which
Mr. Willium N. Wiggins is tho well
known General Secretary, has through
its educational department arranged

Inside THeir' Huge Neste.
Tho world Is Indebted to the Obi
nese for the discovery of the virtues
of the silkworm. Its product was uu-
known In Rome ffijjit the time of Ju-
lius Caesar, and so cpstly wnB the ma-
terial that even the .Emperor Aureliau
refused a dress of .this lustrous fabric
to his empress. Now It Is nurtured
hi almost every country, and Its prod-
ucts are within the reach of all.
Besides the several domesticated
species, there Is a wild silkworm
found in Central America which
Weaves u buglike structure two feet
In depth that hangs from the trees.
At a distance the nest resembles n
huge matted cobweb. Tho insect
makes no cocoon, but weaves the silk
In layers and skeins around tho in-
side of the nest. From Tegucigalpa
there were sent to England some years
ago about six pounds of this silk.
There it was made into handkerchiefs
not easily detected from common silk
of equal strength and delicate texture.
There is a curious silk producing
spider in Central America, the arana
do soda, which may be seen hurrying
along with a load of fine silk on its
back, from which trail numerous del-
icate filaments.—Harper’s Weekly.
THE LOST ATLANTIS.
Fate of the Continental Island as Told
by the Ancients.
“The Lost Atlantis” is a favorite
subject of song and story, and even
now strange tales are told by sailors
who claim to have seen a great white
city rearing its domes and minarets
up through the green of the sea.
Atlantis wns a continental island be-
tween Europe and America. Solon as
long ago as 000 B. C. learned the sto-
ry in Egypt, and it is from him and
later from Plato that the tale has been
banded down to modern peoples.
Atlantis wns reigned over by three
kings of marvelous power, and the in-
habitants were a warlike people far
advanced in civilization. The three
kings finally lwoarue so puffed with
power that they united forces and
planned a descent on Europe, the pur-
pose of which was to destroy and en-
slave. Tire Atuauiaua met the in-
vaders and after a fearful battle gain-
ed a decisive victory.
Two duys later mighty earthquakes
shook the earth, and tremendous inun-
dations came. When peace succeeded
elemental turmoil the sea stretched
where once had been Atlantic.
A Quicker Process.
A story Is told of a certain famous
Lamar, Lubbock, Matagorda, Randall, inventor who is fortunate enough to
Runnels, Shelby, Swisher and Titus *" ”
have reported, so that 54 counties in
Fuller’s earth has been found in
Ellis, Burleson, Smith, Fayette and
Shelby counties.
It is reported that the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient Railway Com-
pany has filed application with the
Public Utility Corporation of Kan-
sas to secure authority to issue $20,-
000,000 in gold bonds to continue
railroad building in Southwest Tex-
It is believed that within three
months actual work on the improve-
ment of the Houston ship channel
under a $2,500,000 bond, will be un-
der way.
On December 16th, precinct No. 4,
Limestone country, will vote on the
issuance of bonds for road improve-
ment.
Texas have ipart in this advance
movement.
Since March, also, 96 diplomas and
29 certificates have been issued,
against 72 diplomas and 28 certificates
for all of the previous year.
Of these diplomas Ellis County has
received 10. El Paso 9, Falls 3, Hunt 6,
Jefferson 1, Matagorda 21, Navarro 10,
Reeves 3. Shelby 5, Smith 6, Swisher
4, Tarrant 5, Walker 5, Young 8.
From this it is clear to see what coun-
ties were doing most work last year,
for it takes a year at the very least to
complete the first standard course.
HONORABLE MENTION.
Matagorda has the distinction of
having the largest class to graduate
this year. This class was conducted
by Dr. T. F. Driskill of .Palacios, mem-
ber of the State Educational Com-
mittee and County Teacher Training
Superintendent.
Palacios has an added distinction of
having the only class on the list com-
posed entirely of men.
Tarrant reports the largest number
of students, her rolls showing 217 ac-
tive members. The present list of
diplomas is so near the 100 mark that
it is a question of interest as to who
will carry off that coyeted number.
The next notes will contain this an-
nouncement.
All the 96 diplomas referred to above
were International} and were issued
from the • office of the Texas Sunday
School Association (Interdenomina-
tional,') but the superintendent is
happy to have notification of a class
of 16 in Denton who have received
diplomas from the Board of the M. E.
Church, South, which swells the num-
ber of graduates in our State t:o 112.
This means more efficient work in
our Sunday Schools and better com-
munities.
A QUESTION.
It was disclosed at the San Francisco
convention that one teacher in twelve
in the United States was a member of
a training class. The call from the
convention was sent forth that this
average be raised to one in five by
1914.
Mr. Marion Lawrence, international
secretary, asks if Texas will accept
that appointment and work up to
that standard. Will she? What re-
ply shall your State Superintendent
make?

gineers and mathematicians to aid him
in the solution of knotty problems.
Some time ago the Inventor desired to
find the cubic capacity of a certain ves-
sel of unsymmetrleal proportions and
asked lii3 mathematicians to solve the
problem. A s the story goes, the mathe-
maticians spent weeks of time, filled
whole books with their calculations
and finally presented what they said
was a close approximation to the true
result Thereupon the famous inven-
tor placed the vessel on a platform
scale, filled it to the brim with water,
obtained its weight when full and
when empty, and in a few minutes he
had a result as good as the mathe-
maticians—for that particular vessel.—

H* Liked Turtle.
Charles Kean in forcing a tavern
companion to tako mustard with his
boef showed a more generous disposi-
tion than a city magnate who figures
in tho ‘'Memoirs of Grantley Berke-
ley.” Although n hearty feeder, Berke-
ley did not like fat and when served
with turtle soup always left the green
fat on tho side of his plate. This is
considered by many to be the best
part of the dish, and at a city dinner
Berkeley attended his neighbor ob-
served him with horror deliberately
rejecting the unctuous green frag-
ments. “At length his feelings got the
better of the alderman, and after de-
molishing his third helping of turtle
ho swept ail tho fat from my plate on
to his, grunting contemptuously, ‘I see
they’re wasted on you.’ ” — London
Chronicle.

SPAIN’S NATIONAL ANTHEM.
“La Marcha Raalle” Waa Composed by
Frederick the Great.
Frederick tho Great was the com-
poser of the Spanish national anthem.
Frederick’s ambitions were varied. He
performed on the flute. Flo desired to
bo thought a poet, llo quoted Latin,
but his quotations would have made
Cicero stare and gasp..* During that
remarkable friendship which existed
between him and Voltaire tho author
of the "Honrlade” exclaimed with de-
rision, “See the dirty Uucn I have to
wash," holding up Frederick’s manu-
script, which had been sent him to re-
vise. In the field the grent warrior
carried about his own poems in his
pocket and a bottle of poison, so that
fie should not be taken alive. Menzel’s
picture depicts tho king with his flute,
and Bach dedicated to him one of his
compositions.
The story of the composition of the
Spanish nntionnl anthem is full of in-
terest. A little while ufter the conclu-
sion of the Seven Years’ war Frederick
at a court reception to the surprise of
every one produced a march which ho
had composed. Tho Spanish ambassa-
dor, both a musician and courtier,
asked for a copy, to send to his royal
master, Charles III. That monarch
admired the piece, and It was often
heard at the Escurlal. After a time it
was laid aside and almost forgotten.
In 18G9, after the deposition of Isabel-
la, Marshal Serrano instituted n com-
petition among composers for a nation-
al anthem. Some 500 compositions
were sent ill, but none of them was so
Inspiring ns Frederick’s march, which
had been exhumed from tho archives.
This wns chosen and Is today known
as “La Marcha Real'.c."- London Globo.
SCHOLARS IN CHINA.
They Rule the Country Where All
Foreigners Are Called Boors.
The scholars rule China today. Dress
is of moro moment there than in any
other country, yet the scholar, al-
though poor and meanly dressed, Is
received with honor by the highest in
the land.
“Tho superior man" of the classics
Is the equivalent of the “good man”
with us. This man, his character and
his conduct arc the constant theme
of approbation. His virtue, his honor,
his social relations, his manners in
public and private, are carefully de-
fined. His dignity Is among his high-
est qualities and must be maintained
at any cost
In contradiction to the popular idea
of dignity, however, the superior man
will play battledore and shuttlecock
with his feet and fly kites, while the
boys, like old men, stand sedately by
and look on. This he does as a meth-
od of instruction and to show the
children how the superior man can re-
lax when his high purpose is to enter-
tain and educate the young.
To the Chinese the foreigner is a
boor and a barbarian. It seems a
hopeless task to teacb him politeness
The Chinese wonders why the for
eigner leaves ills own country at all
is it too small for him to make his liv
ing, or has he come to observe the sn
perior people? If so he is to be coin
mended. But, alas, what a boor he is!
-National Geographic Magazine.
An Oversight.
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, the fa-
mous theatrical manager, was present
at a supper In London a short time
ago where Signor Grasso was an hon-
ored and much feted guest. When
the bariquet was over and every one
was departing, Grasso was so con-
fused and carried away by the atten-
tions and embraces which had been
showered upon him that he thought-
lessly directed his taxi driver to drive
him to the stage door of the theater
at which he was playing.
“What on earth does he want to go
back to the theater for at this time of
the night?” asked one of those who
were waving him adieu.
“Ah,” said Sir Herbert Tree, “I ex-
pect he has forgotten to kiss the fire-
man!”
Fireproof Wood.
Though there are a number of dif-
ferent kinds of wood, ebony, ironwood,
etc., of such close, hard fiber that even
the fiercest fire has difficulty In “get-
ting hold” of it, there is only one sort,
so far as now known, that Is practical-
ly fireproof. This is a small scraggy
tree, a native of South America, call-
ed the shopaln, with thick, tough,
stringy bark full of a sort of fire resist-
ing sap. This curious shrub grows
largely on the great, grassy savannas,
which are swept by fire almost every
year during tho heat of the summer.
Thcro It thrives splendidly, for tho an
mini scourge kills off only Its bigger
and hardier competitors and leaves the
ground free for the growth of this
vegetable asbestos.
The Ship of State.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier once took a fall
out of Sir Charles Tupper, for years
leader of the Opposition, and Sir John
Macdonald. Bantering them on their
self praise for their own political nerv
Ices to Canada, he admitted that, they
had sailed the ship of state fairly suc-
cessfully. adding: "Sir John wns at
the helm and supplied tho brnlns,
while Sir Charles supplied the wind.
His blowing filled tbe sails.”
OUR EARLY CURRENCY.
The First American Colne and tha
Serlee Struck at Boston.
The very enrliest coinage that can
properly be said to be "strictly Ameri-
can” was ordered by the original Vir-
ginia company in the year 1612, only
five years after tho founding of James-
town. These coins were minted at
Somers Islands, now known ns the Ber-
mudas. For a period of more than a
quarter of a century after this, how
ever, tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency.
In 1045 tho assembly of Virginia
met and declared that it “had mature-
ly weighed and considered how ad-
vantageous a quoine (coin) would be
to this colony and how much better
it would be than a solo dependency
upon tobacco and pelts." After this
they provided for the coinage of cop-
per coins of tha denominations of two-
pence, threepence, sixpence and nine-
pene, but this resolution was never
carried into effect.
The first coinage In America proper
wns tho series of coins “struck" nt
Boston under the order of the general
court of Massachusetts passed May
27, 1052, tho coins being throe, six and
twelve pence denominations, “in forme
flatt and stamped on one side with the
letters ‘N. E.’ and on the other the
value of the piece."
A MOUNTAIN RESCUE.
Presence of Mind That Stopped a Slide
to Death.
On entering central Asia after a trip
across India Major It. L. Kennlon
witnessed n rescue which was due to
the quickness of decision and prompt
action of a native. The story is given
In “Sport and Life In the Farther
Himalayas." Tho party had started
to climb over the pass called Mintaka
by moonlight The cold was Intense
and the way slippery and uncertain.
No one having crossed the pass that
year, the guide took a wrong line and
led us across an ice slope that was
concealed by snow. The first I knew
of it was seeing his dim figure begin
to slide downward, first slowly, then
more rapidly. We were not roped,
and ns his pace Increased it seemed
that nothing on earth could save him.
Near the end of my line, however,
carrying a load, was a man of Hunza,
whose quickness to grasp the situa-
tion was only equaled by his resource.
Dropping his load, ho sprang out on
to a projecting point of rock near
which the man would pass, and as he
slid by with the point of his native
made ice ax he gaffed him in his loose
clothing as you might a salmon. It
was most cleverly and promptly done.
“Fixing” the Ball Grounds.
Hugh S. Fullerton, tbe baseball ex-
pert, tells in tbe American Magizine
of tbe queer ethics of tho national
game. He writes:
“ ‘Fixing’ the grounds so ns to give
the home team the advantage and
handicap the- visiting players is the
commonest form of trickery, yet in
professional ball it is not considered
wrong, any more than • n commander
of a defensive army would consider
It wrong to prepare breastworks to
meet an enemy. The extent to which
the fixing of grounds Is carried is
amazing. There probably is not a
major or minor league grounds In the
country on which the home players
have not tho advantage, and visiting
teams are forced to be on tho alert
from the moment they enter a field
to discover, if possible, what they are
up against.”
Athens the Seat of Learning.
It may be said unhesitatingly that
the country which has produced the
greatest men in literature and philos-
ophy, art and architecture Is Greece.
In the little state of Attica—not much
larger than Greater New York—true
civilization and all that goes along
with it were born. All that has been
done since tbe “age of Pericles” has
been simply the carrying out of the
ideas, principles and methods laid
down by the men who won Marathon
and Salami, Platea and Mycnle. Gal-
ton, a high authority, does not hesitate
to say that Athens and the little state
of which it waa the capital produced
more first, class Intellects than have
since been produced by all the world
put together.—New York American.
Rise and Fall.
A boy was driving along a rond In
Ireland a donkey and cart which be-
longed to his widowed mother when
he was accosted by a snobbish young
man, who, wishing to impress his clev-
erness upon a young lady who accom-
panied him, said, “Watch mo take a
rise out of this boy,"
He shouted to the boy, “I say, do
you think your mother would sell me
that donkey?”
The boy took a good look at him and
answered, “Do you think your mother
could keep two?”
Tho smnrt young man didn’t laugh,
but the young lady did.
Not Long.
Binks (who ordered a pnnetko half
nn hour previously)—Er—I—say, will
that pancake be long?
Waitress—No, sir; It’ll be round.
Then he waited patiently another
half hour.

‘Twas Ever Thus.
•Ta, what does it mean when you
say that prices fluctuate?”
“It means, my sou, that they go up

and when it’s something you’ve got to
