previously announced, convened in the
school Eouse on Friday January 10th
and continued in session two days and
two nights. Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather, the attendance
of teachers, directors and parents was
very large. About forty teachers had
their names enrolled At every session
the room was crowded, while in two
evenings the two rooms were required to
accommodate the spectators The teachers
consisted of the leading teachers of the
county and Col. George f. McFarland-
the latter rendering very important aid.
Discussion pertaining to the management
and governing of the schools were freely
and ably participated in by directors and
citizens. Messrs Mutersbaugh and Nc
Alister, Esqs., of McAlisterville. and
Director McWilliams, of Oakland, took
very active part in these discussions
Compulsory Attendance at Schools was
discussed on Saturday evening. before a
packed audience Intense interest was
manifested in the debate 1t is noto
worthy to say that in this discussion the
speakers on the affirmature side without
exception, received loud applause and
prolonged cheers from the spectators =
/ 1t would seem from this fact that the peO-
pie Of this eigLborhood would like to
see some plan by which irreguler attend
ance would be remeded. A vote of
thanks was rendered the citizens for their
hospitality and attention; also to Col.

manifested. Ill health prevented Geo

Seeding Women.
by swEETBRIAR.

It's dreadful thing fora woman to
swear, but it's worse to be forever scolding!
A nd if l were married man, and must
choose between swearing and scolding hab-
its in my wife, should choose an occasion
al swear to continual scold
But the pity is tho men don't get the
privilege of choosing. Instead of this nine
married women out of every ten are ha-
bitual scolds.
1t isn't the cares of wifehood, nor the
trials of motherhood that steal the roses
from the cheeks. Oh, no It's the habit of
scolding and fretting that nine out of every
ten wives indulge in.
Of course you'll all say this is mon
strous falsehood, and call me sour old
maid, envious and jealous of my more for
tunate married sisters
I'll not deny that I'd rather he q married
woman than single one, but as heaven Is
my witness I'd rather live an old maid to
the end of my days than do as so many of
my sisters do, marry and become, fretful
scolding wives.
No wonder the men learn to forsake their
homes, and gradually grow Indifferent to
the charms that won them, when so many
wives forget to be charming, and fret and
scold whenever they can secure a listener
There's care enough, and vexation
enough in the business life of any man to
make him long for rest and quiet ut home
But to be met with fretful complaint of
his Mary AIMS daily trials every time he
stops into his comfortable home is enough
to drive any reasonable man to distraction
Oh of course | know there's another
side to this question, but it's not my pur-
pose to present it at this time.
And in conclusion I've only to declare il
to be the result of careful observation that
| have discovered this truth.
The chief cause of so many married men
ceasing to devote their spare moments to
wife and home, is that the wives first cease
to be attractive, and actually drive their
husbands from their sides by their own
unlovely behavior
And scolding or fretting at little things
is the most common and the most unlovely
Of ALL

IsinglnSs.

A New England paper says: Many of eur
readers have no doubt noticed the disap-
pearance Of an article which years ago was
no small item in the ordinary diet of the
people OF New England-fish sounds
Though tongues are found in the market
plentifully as Of yore, sounds have entirely
disappeared. This mysterious disappear
ance is now explained by the increased pro
duction Of fish glue, or isinglass, for the
manufacture of which fish sounds are used.
The principal seat of the manufacture Of
isinglass is at Rockport, Massachusetts,.
The manufacture of the glue was commen.
ced there in small way many years ago,
at time when sounds could be purchased
at two and half cents per pound. With
the introduction of steam power and the
enlargement Of the factories, came greater
demand for sounds, .causing prices to ad-
vance to their present rates of from 60 to
95 cents per pound, according to the quail
ty of the article. So great has the demand
for isinglass become, that the factories of
Rocl1port have not only for some years abb
sorbed all the sounds to be procured on the
North American coast, but have imported
largely from abroad.

Saving a Life.

Sellington and Soult were often opposed
to each other in the Peninsular war, and
especially in the crowning campaign Of
1914 in which Wellington beat his accom-
plished antagonist, but always preserved
great respect for his military capacity.
Thirty or more years later, Wellington Wis
tied France, and was of course received by
Marshal Soult with distinguished consider
alton, and conducted through his gallery.
The aids of both Generals followed at the
usual respectable distance, but not out Of
ear-shot Of the conversation of their prin-
cipals Wellington paused before one
painting, in which Murillo had wrought
some Of the finest wonders of his art in
representing the celestial society of the re-
deemed. He openly expressed his admira-
tion. "Ah 70 said Soult, sit is not the
mere beauty Of the painting that attracts
