place upon exhibition at the Vienna

nearly S90,000-more money than maDy

sition has ever seen at one time-and the
talk of shipping 1t calls to mind a similar
incident which occurred in 1851, when
some enterprislng Californian shipped to

At the day of drawing it was found that a
poor brckmason of Paris held the lucky

the handsome prize-nearly $4,000.
Provision for the passage was made,
and from all parts of France came the
INDECENT to embark. Many in the great
cities, especially in Paris, who, though
poor, did not wish to accept a free
passage from the country, received
gentle hint from the authorities that the

has been done by many true mother in her
own home; she does not need Q crowd to
make her teaching tell on the life of each
child Nor is the humbIest school house in
our State necessarily valueless, even though
in it but two or three be gathered together,
if only there is the living, personal interest
in the success of the work 10 those who are
concerned. When folks are once wide awake
We do not care whether they use the "t town
system - or the present one matters will
adjust themselves. Many are opposed to the
town system; all who are should remember
that the best argument against it is to have
the schools as they stand to-day alive and
and successful, and that this can be done by
making them an object of interest and care.
We should be much surprised if two or three
years Of faithful endeavor did not enable all
who believe in home management Of
schools to show such results as will put
new phase on the school question. But in
d ference and sloth will not do it, And your
Beig hbor will not do it. What farmer would

him into distant field and never 20 near

season? lie might expect, and would pretty
surely get, small potatoes and few of them.
