How Brown MARRIED OFF HIS

How BROWN MARRIED OFF HIS
DAUGHTERs.-'BrO l don't know
how it is that your girls all marry off
as soon as they get old enough, while
none of mine can marry oh, that's
simple enough: l marry my girls off on
the buckwheat-straw principle But
what is that principley never heard
of it before We'll, used to raise a
good deal of buckwheat, and it puzzled
me how to get rid of the straw. Moth
ing would eat it, and it was great
bother TO me. At last l thought of
a plan. i stacked my buckwheat straw
nicely, and built high rail fence round
it. My cattle of course concluded that
it was something good, and at once tore
down the fence and began to eat the
straw. logged them away and put
up the fence few times; but the more
drove them away the more anxious
they became to eat the straw; and eat
it they did-every bit of it. AS l said,
l marry my girls off on the same prin.
ciple. When a young man that don't
like begins calling on my girls, en-
courage him in every way can; / tell
him to come often and stay as late as h"
pleases, and / take pains to hint to the
girls that 1 think they'd better set their
caps for him. 1t works first-rate. He
don't make many calls, for the girls
treat him AS coolly as they can. But
when young fellow that like comes
arOund-a man that think would suit
me for a son-in-law-I don't let him
make many calls before i give him to
understand that he isn't wanted around
my house; l tell the girls, too, that
they shall not have anything to do with
him. and give them orders not to speak
to him again. The young folks begin
to pitch into each other, and the next
thing / know they are engaged to be
married. When see that they are de-
termined to marry l always give in,
and pretend to make the best of it.

Easy Hour, in recent issue says: "But
one of the most important Developments
concerning ST. JACOBS OIL is the discovery
that it has properties which are beneficial
to the animal as well as to the human
species. 1t has, of late, been in active de-
mand among livery men and others for use
on horses suffering from sprains or abra-
sions. The most prominent instance known
of in this connection, is that related by Mr.
David Walton, a well-known Friend, who
keeps livery stable at 1245 North Twelfth
street. Mr.. Walton states that he was
boarding a valuable horse belonging to
Benjamin McClurg, also resident OF
North Twelfth street. A few weeks ago
the animal slipped and badly sprained his
leg, making him very lame. MIR. Walton
used two bottles of ST. JACOBS OIL on the
animal and found within less than one
week, that there was no need for any more,
for the animal was as well as ever.

the third, from IL to 45; in the fourth,
from As to 80; in the fifth, more than
80 to the square mile, The extension
of the several groups during the last

School Law.
OFFICIAL RULINGS AND DECISIONS.

OFFICIAL RULINGS AND DECISIONS.
l. 1t is generally understood to be a
rule of law that in all corporations,
where some other basis is not especially
prescribed, majority of all the votes
cast is necessary to the election Of IN
officer, or the decision Of the question
Under our statutes, a school district is
a corporate body, and as the law no
where specially provides for any other
basis, it is held that majority of all
the votes cast is necessary to the
election of district officer.
2, Votes taken at a school district
meeting directing the board to employ
a certain teacher, or specifying the
grade of certificate the teacher must
hold, or naming the wages to be paid
the teacher, must be considered merely
as advisory, and not obligatory upon
the district board.
3. Except in a case of judgment
az ainst district, township treasurer
has no right to pay school moneys to
any one but the assessor, on warrant
properly drawn on him in favor of the
assessor; and he cannot pay such war
rant to any other person, even on the
assessors order. The warrant is not
negotiable, and receipt from third
party will not relieve the treasurer
from his liability to the district.
= 4. Whenever the board of school in
spectors alter the boundaries or change
the number of school district, it is
the duty of the township clerk to de,
liver to the director of every district
affected by the alteration notice in
writing, stating what alterations have
been made, and a diagram showing the
boundary lines of the district as thus
changed.

The disease shown to have most in.
creased in area of prevalence, during
the week ending Nov. 5, are bronchitis,
whooping-cough, and measles. The
diseases which have most decreased
are dysentery, diarrhea, cholera morbus
diphtheria, erysipelas, and intermittent
fever. The great decrease in sickness
from dysentery, diarrhea, and cholera
morbus, and the considerable decrease
in ague were to have been expected,
and judging by the experience in pre-
ceding years, this low rate may reason
ably be expected to continue. AS
regards diphtheria the outlook is not
so favorable, the permanent decline
has not usually occurred until Deem
Der, and in one year it did not occur
until January. Much depends on
what efforts are made to restrict the
disease.
