J. D. Btaedict, sup«riat«adent of
schools, ud aoveral other leading
eduoatora ia Indian Territory, re-
turned from Oklahoma City, whort
they succeeded ia influencing the
territorial hoard of edacation of
Oklahoma to adopt a uniform
course of study fer grade and high
schools the aatae as is aow in usa
ia the Indian Territory. This will
make it possible for Indian Terri
tory students to go from any grade
te Oklahoma and enter without ex-
aminations our change of ceurse,
and will give graduates of four
year's high schoel course in Iadian
Territory tho right to enter Okla-
homa University without examina-
tion, writes a Muskogee correspon-
dent of the Kansas City Journal.
Mr. lenedict believes that the ac-
tion in adopting uniform courses of
study in the two territories will do
more to advance the educational in-
tereits ef both than anything that
has been done for some time. It
will lead in a few years to a graded
system which will be equaled to
those ef any of the older states.
The oourse of study adopted for
both territories is that which Mr.
Benedict and a committee assisting
him, introduced into Illinois four-
teen years ago, and which is still
in use in that state, in a revised
form to meet existing conditions.
The same course is followed in
Kansas, Nebraska and several other
slates, and is considered one of the
best in ike country.
Superintendent Benedict made
the discovery that fourteen couuties
ia Oklahema have been using this
eourae of study for several mouths,
act knowing that it was the same
as the one adopted by the Indian
Territory. While the course has
been ia use ia Indian Territory
several years, Mr. Benedict says
that this year is really the first
when it eaa be put in general use.
The tribal scheels heretofore were
mostly primary and hence no grad-
ing was possible. Since the govern-
ment, however, has thrown the lu-
dian school open to white children
by appropriating money for that
purpose, the course of study can be
almost uuiversally adopted all over
the territory.

tract that is untitled will bring him

pushed and cultivated by intelli-
gent eitizens yields a rich harvest
in profits, aad every town that is
left unfilled, aud is not pushed,
will prove barren of prosperity.
Sho was an ordinary woman,
without much leisure or timo for
culture. She did not know the
difference between an Ionia and
Doric column in architecture, and
•he was act 'up' on china painting
or Roman emperors. But she
brought up four children to tell the
truth, and love God and their
brothers, and to do honest labor
with their hands and not be asham-
ed of it. When she died the pa-
pers did ust notice it, but the Re-
cording Angel said, as he reached
for a fresh pea and turned over to
aelcanpage. "A queen is coming,
get a throne ready.''—Charles M.

It is not the country that makes
the town; it is net the locatiou; it
is aot "natural conditions"—but it
is the people. Natural conditions,
location, etc., help, of ceurse, but
it depends first and last upon the
people ef a community whether or
not that community is prosperous.

In P«ru is found a singular plant,
capable ef quelling hunger or thirst
for several days. It is named cry-
thoxyolon coca. A decuction of
one hundred grains of this plant
produces this effect for forty-eight
hours, the muscular energy being
preserved. The plant appears to
narcotize the nerves of the stomach
and suspend the digestive functions,
