Long RESTS AT NooN.-rravelers affirm that
the people o. no foreign country do as much
out-of-door labor during the heat OF the day
as the Inhabitants OF the United States. In all
the countries aoolt the Mediterranean sea a
long season OF rest for man aud beas. occars
during the middle Of t-e day. Among the
Spanards the practice D. sleeping at noon is
almost as common as that OF sleeping ddrlng
the night. In northern Europe shorter time
sgiven 10 rest at noon. because The temperature
is lower. and the rays OF sunlight fall go as to
produce less injurious etTec. upon laborers
Still the time for rest is longe. IN this part OF
Europe than ia the Unit d States. With Us
there is no stopping work for the sake OF taking
rest at noon. Labor is suspended only 10 allow

We should be gamers, both IN the matter OF

time during the middle OF the dav to rest.
More sickness occurs among farmers immed-
ately after haying and harvesting than at anv
other season OF the year, ana The cause OF 1t
may be attributed, in a great majority OF cases,
TO exposure to the heat Of the sun when IL is
almost directly over the heads OF worLmen
engaged IN the fields. The number OF cases OF
sunstroke lncreases every year, Many who ara
not prostrated by heat are greatly injured by IL
What is true OF men in this respect is also true

THE MAN WITH AN ITEM.-Some supposed
friends Of newspaper have PECULIAR IDEAS as
to what kind OF items a paper really requres.
Not long since gentleman came into the CAL
weston News sanctum and said
Look here You miss heap OF live items
I'm on the streets all day I'll come up every
once in while and post you.'
"All right, fetch on your item; but, remem
Der, we want news
Next day he came up, beaming all over.
i've got a live item for you. You know
that internal bow-legged gorilla of a brother
n-law OF mine, who was in business here with
me?'

the editor. YEARLY.
"Well, I've just got news from Nebraska.
where he is living. that he Is going to run for
the Legislature. Now, just give hm blast.
Lift him ont OF his boots. Don't spare him on
my account"
Next day lie came up again. My little
item was crowded out. brought you some
news" and he hands in an item about his cat,
as follows:
a Remarkable Animal.-rhe family cat OF
our worthy aud distinguished fellowtow
man Smith. who keeps the boss grocery store
of Ward No. 13 (beer always on tap, yesterday
became the mother of five slngularIy marked
kittens. This is not the first time this unheard-
of event has taken place. We understand Mr.
Smith Is being favorably spoken of as caudi
date for Alderman"
The editor groans in his spirits as he lights q
cigar with an effort. 1t is not long before ht
hears that Smith ls going round saying that ht
has made the paper what it is, but It is not in.
dependent enough for place like Galveston.
Many readers will say this sketch is over
drawn, but thousands OF editors all over the
country Will lift up their right hands to testif J
that they are personally acquainted with the
guilty party.

SCNDAY-SCHooL HYMNS AND Mus1c-It seems

SCHOOL LAW.

From the Lansing Republican.
l. A township superintendent is not limited
in the number of bis visits to the schools: he
, must visit them at least twice in the year-and
( oftener, as in his judgment may be expedlent.
The word " schools,' as used in the second line
of section 1S6, general school laws Of 1879, is
| construed to mean each school-house where
/ school is in session, and not terms" OF school.
| One visit during each term of school will meet
the schools, and to understand fully their. con-
dition and progress, the superintendent should
! visit them at least twice each term-once near
/ the beginning, and again near the close OF the
term. The value OF a visit will depend upon
how it is made It should be informal, unex
pected by the teacher, and sufficiently lloug to
ascertain the real condition OF the school. II
should consist of something more than barely
observing the routine OF the school-room and
making complimentary speech. II may often
be made especially valuable IN the opportunity
It affords for throwing out kindly hints and
suggestions to some young and inexperienced
teacher; but in taking advantage OF such an
/ opportunity, a superintendent should DO so
quietly, and not do anything that might tend
to weaken the teachers authority, or lessen the
pupils respect for the teacher.
2. A township superintendent is considered
qualified" in the meaning OF the law by vir-
tue OF his Office, to teach only in the township
in which he holds Office and while in Office: il
he engages in teaching in any other township
he must be examined and OBTAIN certificate
from the superintendent OF such other town
ship before he can be considered daily quail
fed teacher; or should he be engaged in teach
| ing in his own township at the time bis term OF
Office expires, he must Immediately be exam
| ined and secure a certificate from his successor
in Office, else he becomes an unqualified
teacher under the law. township superin-
| tendent has no authority to issue to himself,
Just before passing out OF Office or al any other
time, teachers certificate, and such paper
must be considered void
g. Under section II, as chairman of theIboard
OF school inspectors, the township superin
tendent is constituted treasurer also of SAID
board and is required to give bonds in double
the amount of library moneys that are likely to
come into his hands. AS these bonds are for
the security of library moneys in all townships
| in which the system OF district Libraries has not
been adopted, superintendent fails to be le-
gally qualified as an officer unless he gives such
bonds. In townships, however, in which the
township Libraries have been divided into dis
trict Libraries, and the system OF district libra
ries adopted, it has been held that no bonds
can be required, as in such cases the library
moneys are not subject to the board of school
inspectors, but are apportioned and paid d-
recty to the districts.

The anti-tobacco reformers may find encour

cerning smoking at Yale. Each class is graded

scholars being in the first, and so on down to

good enough to keep hanging by the eyelds.
In the junior class it was found that only 10
out of 40 in the first DIVISION we're addicted to
smoking; Is out OF 81 in the second; 20 out OF
81 in the third; and % out of 26 iu tho fourth.
The proportion of smokers, it will be observed,
increases in regular ratio with the falling off in
