SCHOOL MONEY.

AS is generally known, there has been
prolonged delay in paying over the school
money. At least two,thirds of the back
tax yet due the county belongs to the
schools. The teachers have waited long
and patiently. They have been carrying
. heavy burden. II the schools had re,
ceived their pro rata part Of the taxes,
the debts would all have been paid, but
owing to son strange management, sew,
eral thousand dollars are yet unpaid
This falls on the teachers, and they com.
plain at tie school law. The fault is not
in the law, or the school officers, for the
money has never reached them.
We call the attention Of the County Court
to tins matter again. Something must be
done. The teachers do not mean to be
bafled any longer. They claim Their
own and demand it. We claim that the
teachers ought to be paid Immediately
because tie money has been used fol
other purposes. 1t is poor encourage.
ment for them to labor and earn theil
money and be put to the humiliation o
begging for their wages. We mean bus
mess and the facts Justify US in being
plain. TIE school claims thtst ard sAal
be paia-==the sooner the better.

CO-OPERATRNN.

Great enterprises are carried On by
Cooperation. Iu this the school question
is not an exception, because it is tnH of
the great problems which this generation
has to solve. 1t makes but little differ.
ence whether we as individuals favor or
oppose the progress of free schools. They
are she pride and glory Of she American
peop.s. The little germ planted in the
bleak and sterile soil of New England by
our Pilgrim Fathers has taken deep root
and shot its branches heaven-ward till it
now o~vershadows all this land Of ours.
Some invisible hand has pointed out the
way. Horace Mann, the great apostle Of
free education, when lie said "An un-
educated ballot is the winding sheet Of
liberty" caught a glimpse Of those shad.
ows. Our duty is plain. The people
must be educated and elevated. >

great advantage to this part Of the

possible will ts naade to not only in

willing and anxious to entertain them.

MANURE should be applied to plants

HoLLows, from greater cold, are con-
sidered as utterly impracticable as sites
for orcharding.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
Gazette considers the Essex the best
breed of hogs. They fatten very readi-
ly on less feed than others.
GLOVER, in its growing state, is not
valued very highly for feeding, as it is
too full of water, and perhaps acids,
but when properly cured it is greatly
improved. 1t will fatten horses faster
than timothy.
REARING one early brood of chickens
will interfere but little, if any, with
the average production of eggs in the
year. If a hen has laid well for q
whole year, she will take long while
in recruiting, during and after the mott
ing season.
If any one wants to grow white or red
clover where sorrel grows, apply good
surface dressing of leached ashes, and
without the application of seed you will
get one or the other within year. The
inter in the leached ashes neutralizes
the acid in the soil.
In a portion of Denmark, where one
fifth of the land is cultivated to clover
the vitality of the seed is tested by
placing quantity on knife blade, and
heating it over a lighted candle. The
good seed will pop open and hop off
while the worthless remains and carbon

To CLEAN BLACK KIDs.-A good way
to clean black kid gloves is to take a
teaspoonful of salad oil, dropa few drops
of ink in it, and rub it over the gloves
with the tip of feather; then let them
dry in the sun.
To PREVENT TIN RUsTING. - Rub
fresh lard over every part of the dish,
and then put it in hot oven and heat
it thoroughly. Thus treated, any tin
ware may be used in water constantly,
and remain bright and free from rust in

LIGHT RYE TEA CAKES. One pint OF

Add enough rye -four to make it rs stiff

Anecdote OF Lord Panmure.

In his younger days, when Lord Pan
mure, was only the Hon. William Maule,
he was not only fond of doing charitable
and benevolent things, but he liked to
do them surreptitiously. He did not
wish TO become notorious for his aims

bound upon charitable expedition, he

1t is related of him that upon certain
occasion he entered the cottage Of poor
old woman at Nuirdrum, with a wallet
filled with oatmeal slung over his shout
der, his garb soiled and shabby. On
asking charity the woman set before him
such food as she had. After eating he
entered into conversation with the old
woman, and found her really very poor.
He persuaded her to buy what professed
to be his beggar's meal at halfprice.
Shortly after he had departed the
woman examined the meal she had
purchased, and found it to contain a
goodly sum in silver coin. Thinking the
poor man had made his meal-pack the
depository of his cash, she rushed after
him. shouting:
Hoy, hoy, mon ye've left a. vel
siller amang the meal we self mep
But the more and the louder she
shouted the faster did the beggar make
off, until, finally, he struck into a run.
At length the poor woman returned t.
her cot, and as she told her neighbors o.
the wonderful circumstance. she expressed
the fear that the money had not beer

A New Method of Illumination.

An ingenious system of lighting is
suggested by the Scientific american as
among the probabilities of the future.
Given, say, large hotel to be furnished
with artificial light, the plan suggested
is, instead of having network of gas
pipes leading to the different rooms and
to burners in each room, according to
the present method, to have the light
for the whole building generated in one
place-say in the main ventilating shaft
for utilizing the surplus heat. The dis
tribution of the light would be effected
by means of rehectors, each throwing
into its appropriate tube a bundle of
rays-made parallel by lens-sufii-
GENTLY intense to flood the room to
which they were directed with pure
white radiance, which could be turned
on or off, or graduated, by simply turn
ing knob or key. In size, the light
tubes need be no larger than ordinary
gas-pipes, and even much smaller, since
all the light required for the largest
room might be transmitted to the re-
flector ~ an extremely slender beam.
The terminal lenses would close tho tube
against smoke and dust, which would
dim the re Electors at the angles; and, by
keeping the enclosed air pure and dry, the
absorption of light would be inappre-
