Tho County Convention, &c.

entirely satisfactory TO certain parties dc mandine
such information. The ''cat in the meal tub"
without this circumstance, might not have been
discovered and the dissatisfaction never pro-.

II might be we'll for certain PARTIES to rcspect
our farming community and not impose upon
them too heavily, for if they should determine TO
do it they hold in their hands the scales and
they might not suffer an unjust distribution of
power. 1t would be we'll at lcast TO consult them
upon certain topics before saying that this
County in convention shall do SO and so. I
favor the qualification Of candidates and not tho
personal man, and no matter TO what profession
he may bclcng, if cmincnily fitted to fill tho
place, then elect him; but because man is nm
educated and intelligent farmer, one who can
cope with any set Of men, to put his 'tlieht

The Social Taboo.

The National unsociability of the
American Anglo-Saxon produces some
singular results. People by scores and
hundreds ride to and from their places
of business in the city to their homes
in the suburbs or surrounding country
year after year. Their faces are well
known and remembered by each other.
Not word, not nod even, everpasses
between them. They sit apparently as
insensible to each other as so many
wooden statues. With women this
mutual taboo is even stronger empha-
sized. Miss A may be longing for some
congenial association among her own
sex during the trip. BY her sits Miss
G, who has made these trips morning
and evening with Miss A, and knows
her face as well as that of her own ia
Their. But never q word do they speak
to each other. Both are conscious of
the other. Both are curious regarding
each other. Both may feel drawn
toward each other. Both might prove
for the other interesting acquaintance.
But this frozen social taboo of nom
intercourse is upon them. 1t is an un-
written law seldom disobeyed. Both
possibly fear making overtures for fear
Of repulse.- Or Miss A may discern in
Miss G something which she deems to
indicate the measure Of the tenth of a
degree below her social grade. So the
embargo is never raised and the two
remain strangers for life.
Between the sexes this social taboo
is still more strongly enforced. It is
so rigidly carried out that . gentleman
sometimes fears performing . civility to
an unknown lady lest it be taken - one
method q o1icious or presuming over
TIM. For eltheF q open conysrsa-

ton b generally deemed an action 30 IN
conventional as almost to border on an
improperly. So, in our midst, thousands
OF people in transit sit and stare OF
NOPE away minutes and hours of utter
tediousness.
This custom among us, which is
broken by but few exceptions, argues
provincial shyness or lack of confidence
and courage unworthy aman or woman
of the world. People well poised on
their own social mental or moral planes
are never afraid of meeting interiors or
superiors. The acquaintance and as
ISOLATION of q daily half hour or hour on
boat or rail need never extend anv
further as to time and locality. Indeed.
the majority of association might be
far more pleasant and profitable were
it restricted entirely to these conditions.
The sum total of recreation to all might
be very great. Why not then, in The
cases implied, break our social ice and
get what good we can out of each other?
If we prove bores or are bored let US
retreat, accept tho failure with
equanimity and try to improve our
powers of pleasing. This travelling
dumb show must be stopped some time
or other. 1t will never be tolerated in
the millennium.-Ne,O Hork Graphic.

Barryville. Sullivan County, N. T.,
lies opposite this village. Its district
school is taught by young man named
Reuben Frazier. George Sink, aged
twelve years, was ole Of his scholars.
Sink is q misc)lievous boy, and the
other day he tripped up girl about his
own age as she was passing out of the
school-room door. He said it was an
accident, but the girl went back and
slapped his face. He struck her, and
the teacher called him up and logged
him with q stick. Then he was ordered
to beg the girls pardon and shake
hands with her. This the boy did. The
schoolmaster then said that Sink, to
make full amends, must kiss the girl, but
this he refused positively to dc. Hisre-
fusal brought him another whipping.
Still he said he would not kiss the girl.
Then he was logged for the third time
and sent home. Believing that the
teacher had no right to insist on their
sons kissing any of the girls that at
tended school with him, and that he had
punished the boy unjustly, the boys
parents had the teacher arrested on q
charge of assault and battery. He was
given q hearing by Justice of the Peace
Stidd, who sustained the teacher cause
and ordered his discharge. It is said
this case will be carried into the COun-
ty Courts. Shoh0la (Pa) Cor. NJ 7.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The number of different languages
and dialects spoken in the known world
is 1923, of which 587 belong to Europe.
396 to Asia, 376 to Africa, and 1,264 to
America.
From 1898 to 1915, during the wars
with France, the national debt of En-
gland rose from E168, 900, 900 to $780,
600, 900 and the annual expenditure
from EGO. 900, 900 to E17O, 200, 900.
MIR. William Caxton, who brought
the first printing-press into England,
was even buster as translator than as
q printer. Of all his printed pages,
more than 1000 are from works of his
own rendering into English.
The Spanish Armada numbered 100
ships, to which the English could OPP
pose but eight vessels, and these SO
small that but four of them equaled in
tonnage the smallest of the galleOns.
The Armada carried $4,000 guns, 5000
seamen and 10000 soldiers. The En-
gllsh fleet was manned by 5000 sailors.
"A fgmative genius has made an
estimate of the number of horses in the
various countries of the world. Russia
heads the list with PLATO, 900; the
United States comes next with 9,5O4,-
900; Austria has 1867 900; Hungary,
2,179,OOO; France about 1000, 900; Ger
many, 1852, 900; Great Britain and Ire
land, 1926, 900; Turkey about 1,OOO,-
600; the Argentine Republic, 1900, 900;
Canada, 1924, 900; Uruguay, 1,6OO,O 900.
Many large areas, such as China, Japan
and Australia, are absent from the list,
probably because there are no returns
to be had from those regions.
Somebody who has examined the
statistics of some of the big battles of
the war finds that 80 soldiers, all shot
above the hips, and all of one regiment,
fell dead at one volley in the battle of
Gettysburg. At Fair Oaks, 20 men
went down, one upon another, in a
square of few feet, and never moved
limb among them after falling. One
shell, at Cole Harbor, exploding in the
ranks of an Ohio regiment, Killed Is
soldiers. At Savage Station, during
McClellan's charge, solid shot fired
from a Federal piece at an infantry COL
umn, marching by fours, killed 81 men.
Near Vicksburg a gunboat threw a
single shell at Confederate battery
and killed Is men, wounding Is others.
| In the factories and magazines of
Paris more than 10000 wOrkwomen
and close upon 5000 workmen people
the workshops, and receive for their
| labor in the came an annual sum of not
less than 1,OOO,0 francs, which rep
resents the amount paid for hand labor,
giving daily wage of three francs per
head. To state it in other words, the
average earnings of the male sex is
about four francs, while that of the fe-
male portion is about two francs fifty
centimes. In regard to the latter.
when it is stated that many of these are
wives and mothers of families, and de-
vote but their spare time taken from
home cares and duties, it may be read
lily imagined that the earnings of the
Frenchwomen engaged are of the most
remunerative amongst those industries
which are open to the females, who
form at an early age an object of the
employers engagement.

tsFrizzes'' and ssBangs.''

A current item states that ga con-
frmation was held in st. johns Catholic
Church, at Concord, N. H., and the
Young girls were told beforehand by the
priest that the Bishop would not lay his
hand on any 'frizzed' or banged heads.
The Bishop of Concord has also forbid
den banged or .frizzed hair to be worn
in his diocese"
1t was about time something was done
toward rescuing our young girls from
the frightful demon of ''bangs'' and
s.frizzes." When a maiden acquires a
taste for this soul-destroying fashion,
her head first appears with couple of
modest little curlicues fondly clinging
to her temple; but pretty soon her
downward career becomes more marked;
the blood is poisoned, the whole sys-
tenn permeated with vitiated taste for
bangs and frizzes, and she boldly prom
enades the street with her forehead
garnished with the corrupting bangs
from one ear to the other, and reaching
down to her eyebrows! And if this
terrible passion is not checked in its
first stages, before it seizes hold of the
girl with such q vise-ike grip that she
cannot shoke it off, the victim is carried
to banged and '.frizzed'' grave
with all her imperfections upon her
forehead, and her parents are plunged
in q sorrow that will not be comforted.
Girls! look not upon the bang when it
curleth over the brow like . viper!
Shun the first friz as you would hop
pergrass at a picnic! for at last it sting
eth like q steel-blue wasp and keepeth
the sensible young men aloof. Mother!
where is your daughter tonight Is
she in her chamber preparing the
baleful quince-seed juice with which to
fresco her fair forehead with the de-
moralizing bangs in the morning?
Speak to her-plead with her-apply
the slipper before it is everlastingly too
late!-Fhck.

4 Lady's Futile Attempt to Smuggle .
Sealskin Jacket.

The Montreal Witness says: As our |
readers no doubt know, the United |
States Government ID, represented on |
the border line by suspicious lot of
officials, who, when they see 9 Mon
trealer cross the lines wearing IA ele-
giant fur cost and subsequently return
ing with an ordinary cloth one, jump |
at the conclusion that another fall order
for fur coats has been delivered, or else
that the traveller has been doing q little
fur coat business on his own account.
They cannot seize the cloth coat, how
ever, but that Montreal citizen is after
ward a marked man, and repetition OF
such incidents naturally proves exasper-
ating to these active officials. But it is
said few of our American visitors un-
dertake the arduous duty of taking the
goods across the lines themselves with
out paying the usual customs charges,
and. doubtless, some succeed in their
attempt; but a lady who, with her hus-
band, left Bonaventure depot recently,
didn't succeed. She was very nice
looking lady, and wore the ordinary
travelling duster, and the officials here
found the baggage of the couple all
right and regular. They got on board
the train, entered United States terri
tory, and passed Richford without any
unpleasant incident to mar their trip
home, and at Newport, which is gem
orally supposed to be beyond the reach
of dreaded customs officials, they sought
the Bellevue House for dinner, and en-
gagged a room until the starting of the
train again. 1t has been said that if
you call the name "Smith'' in pro-
miscuous assembly in any Anglo-Saxon
country percentage at least of those
present will demand what you want of
them; and so when the two came down
to the sitting-room, not John Smith, but
Mr.. H. L. Smith, the United States
customs detective, was among those
who noticed that the husband carried
for the first time a large parcel, while
the wife appeared much refreshed by
the short delay. As the train went
bowling on toward St. Johnsberry, Mr..
Smith got as near as possible to the
parcel, and having no soul for scenery
himself, interrupted q delightful con-
versation suggested by some Of natures
handiwork which lay stretched out be-
fore them by asking the abrupt ques-

den volcanic eruption from one of the
distant mountains would not have sur
prised the travellers more than did this
query, and noticing their confusion the
officer made mental note of the con-
firmation of an opinion he had held for
some hours that he was on the right
track, and at st. Johnsberry confiscated
the parcel, which, on opening, he found
skin cloak. The lady had worn it under
her duster all the way from Montreal to
Newport, and, although no doubt feel
ing disappointed, she left the officer
the booty without making any attempt
