School Teachers Salaries.

A proposal in the Boston School
Board to reduce tine salaries of the
school teachers of that city gave
Rev. George A. Thayer chance to free
his mind on the subject in minority
report. He had obtained estimates. he
said. from careful and trustworthy per
sons. of the incomes enjoyed by sue
cessful members of the learned PROBES
sions in Boston. Fifty lawyers make
$4,000 4 year and upward; one hun
dred make from $4,000 to $40, 900; one
hundred or more make from $4,000 to
1900. Eleven doctors are believed To
make 5000 a year. forty from $1,000
TO go, 600, eighty from -, 0O0to $40. 600.
and two hundred from So 900 to 50, 900.
In three leading Protestant sects.
twenty-one ministers receive salaries
ranging from 81 900 TO $40. 600. For his
part. the Rev. Mr.. Thayer thought that
Boston should seek for the teachers of
its children large minded persons.
whose abilities would have earned them
success in any of these
other professions or in trade. But it
could not set such teachers unless it
was prepared TO assure them honorable
comfort and an old age free from care
about money.

Manuring the Garden.

The cost OF manuring a garden plot
is triliing and the result SO satisfactory.
it is a matter of wonder that those who
desire a fair harvest of fruits or vege-
tables do not treat the soil little more
literally in this respect. Before get

get manure. Study the character of
the soil and seek to give it the manure
best calculated TO enrich it, and there
is nothing better than well-rotted stable
manure. Let it be well worked into
the soil. 1t is of little use to a gar
dener to throw ii upon the ground and
there leave it. Let there be as
thorough puiverization as possible and
then intermixture of the manure, and
the land will show its gratitude in the
results. N. y. Obserrer.

+" COunter.Irritants."

Not little pain, disease and Sleep
lessness also, may be saved by the
proper understanding and use of coun-
fer-irritqats. A pain in the head, and
often in other parts of the BODY, can
be removed or modified by putting the
feet in hot water. How why? When
the feet are irritsted it causes rush of
blood t. them. their veins become
full and distended. This draws OF
the blood that was before crowding
into the head or other affected par; and
producing pain there. Even rubbing

Who He Was,

One of the bookeepers for Detroit
lumber firm was recently sent to the
north woods to transact some business
for his employers. He is man of good
mind and strong limb, and has hung
about gymnasiums long enough to work
up his muscle and understand how to
strike from the shoulder He reached a
camp belonging to another firm at noon
one day. and all but one Of the loggers
gave him hearty welcome This one
seemed out of sorts and bent on mischief
After throwing out repeated slurs and
insults he boldly said:
Stranger, pvc been aching for
whole week past to put some one in my
vest pocket"
This was turned off in pleasant man
ner, but the logger persisted
'I've got a great hankering to play
pitch and toss with you, and if you don't
run before finish my dinner I'm going
to heave you over the shanty a few
times"
The Detroiter didn't run worth cent.
When he saw that fuss was inevitable
he removed his wtach and pin, shed his
overcoat aud was in frst-rate trim when
the logger got ready to heave away. AS
the bully came forward he was neatly
knocked down He got up with grin
and went down again. The third time
he got up he sat down on log to collect
his ideas, and when they had returned
to him he carefully approached the De-
troiter and said:
"Mebbe you're a Presidin' Elder?"

A Western Stock Sale.

far West and their own peculiar way of
doing business. Buyers and stock
holders also have their own peculiar
ways, and these ways sometimes clash
A New Yorker was seated in an Office
in Gunnison City one day not long ago,
when "a grizzly-looking old chap entered
and asked if that was the place where
they sold shares of the White Horse
Silver mine. Being assured he was in
the office Of the company, he observed !:
''l've heard the White Horse spoken
of as being a lively mine"
at certainly is. We took $40, 900
worth of ore out in one day."
"Phew She must be just old rich
ness How many men have ye got to

'Oh. about three hundred"
Have ye though? Are the sheerses
going of rurty lively 7"
Shares are selling like hot cakes
and We only have few left. Every
body says the White Horse is big in

"What are sheers worth to-day ?"

the mine, found nothing but hole and

That will give my pard his money back

Here's the sheeres, and now let me see
the color of your money!
but, sir, We"
Pass out the cash p said the old
man as he rested the end of his shooter
on the edge of the counter.
The company had left his revolver in
his overcoat pocket outside, and he did
not believe the New Yorker would shoot
for him. After looking around began
counting out the money with a bland
smile, and as he made the exchange he
said:
Certainly, sir, greatest of pleasure,
sir. Sorry you didn't hold them one
day more and get the full face value !"

Proof of Animal L,fe IN Other Planets.

Two interesting problems whichhave long
perplexed the scientific world appear TO
have been at last definitely solved by the
eminent geologist, DIR. Hahn. The questions
are, first, whether or not celestial bodies
other than the earth belonging to our solar
system are inh Abited by animate beings, and,
secondly, whether the meteOric stones from
time to time cast upon the surface OF this
globe emanate from incandescent comets or
from volcanic planets. That they at no
time formed part OF the earth itself has
been conclusively demonstrated.
DR.. Hahn has recently completed series
Of investigation upon some OF the huge
meteoric stones that fell from the skies In
Hungary during the summer Of 1865. Thin
laming of these mysterious bodies, subjected
TO examination under powerful microscope,
have been found TO contain coralline and
spongeous formation, and TO reveal unmista-
kabie trace OF the lower forms of vegetation.
All the organisms, animal and vegetable,
discovered by DIR. Hahn In the delicate stone
shayings he has thus dealt with indicate the
condition " their parent world 70 be one
OF what ID technically termed "primary FORM
atien." But the presence of water In that
world Is proved by the fact that the tiny
petriied creatures revealed by the magic o;
the lens one and all belong TO the so-cal'ed
snbaqueous classes Of animals. They could
not have existed In comets, at least II the
assumption be correct that these are In .
state or active combustion.

The Cost of tiious.
NeD York Tribune

u
Allegheny county, Pa. has nearly completed
the payment OF losses caused by the Pitts
bug rios In 1877. Thus far claims amour
ting to about 81, 750, 900 have been liquidated,
and bonds to the amount of s., $4,000 have
been issued. 1t is thought that $4,000 will,
cover all the unsettled claims. The law
provides that claimants must sue and get q
verdict before they can recover, but In
nearly every instance compromise has been
effected, and the Commissioners have agreed
TO a formal verdict for 10 per cent of the loss
sustained. In this sensible way expensive
litigation has been avoided, and losses by
the riots have received prompt recompense
instead of being compelled to wait upon the
slow process of the courts. There have
been only three real trials, all of which the
Commissioners have won.

Give Printers Fa,r Play.

The Americd;, Newspaper Reporter gives
The following sound advice:
We have piece of advice which we wish
TO impress firmly and indelibly upon the
public mind, and that Is to give the printers
fair play. Do not forget that it costs some
thing TO puff as well as to advertise; never
sponge on printer in any way whatever.
1t Is the printers ink that takes nine-tenths
of our fortunes 1t takes money 10 buy pa
per, type aud ink, and yet, af.er all, few are
the thanks that the printer gets. Give The
printers fair play and give up all hopes of
gratuitons putting. Daniel Webster was
mighty near right when he remarked of the
press "Small is the sum required to pat
ronize newspaper; amply rewarded are Its
patrons. l do not care how humble and I'M
pretending the gazette which he takes, 1t is
next to impossible to fill it out without put
ting in something that is worth the subscrip-
ton price," =reE

A Mysterious Chimney.


Mr.. and Mrs. Murray were sitting quietly
In their house on Oak street, New YoiE,
one Sunday evening, when they head a scuf-
fling noise.somewbere, aud minute later the
room was filed with shower of SCOT. Then
they beard voice crying /" Let me out! Let
me out, or Ill kick your door and
be - to you! lis nearly IL o'clock" A
policeman came and searched high and low,
but could not find any one. Finally 1t was
decided that the voice came from the chm
ney. A rope was let down and two or three
men hauled away on 1t. But after they had
lif.ed what was supposed TO be the man ip-
side few feet he would let them 90 and let
them fall fiat on The roof. Every time be
dropped back II seemed as If he wedged
himself tighter and tighter into the chimney.
The fifemen were sent for and the hook aud
Ladder boys chopped away on the different
floors, but, not fiedipg anybody, concluded
there was ventriloquist about. Finally,
they opened chimney In Mr.. Mmray's
room and man craw!ed out. He said he
had seen woman dressed in white 60 down
tue chimney and he went after her. He
was badly bruised and jammed, and as he
was suffering from the jims as we'll as the
jams he was taken to hospital.

Henry Willard.

The real name of Mr. Willard Is Heinrich
Hilgard, and his nearest relatives all reside
In or around Belleville. lie Is son OF Gustav
HiIgard, formerly President of the Supreme
Court In Munich. This Gustav Hillard is
half-brother of Robert G. Hilgard of the
BellvillelSavings Bank. Gustav Hilgard was
the only one of five brothers who did not
come 10 America, and II was not originally
intended that his son Henry (the Willard in
question) should go to the United States.
But some wild escapades, while studying al
the University of Munich, induced him to
come to America In 1853, being then 10 years
of age. He arrived here without any means,
and he had to rely on himself for support.
In 1854 his uncle, the aforementioned Rob-
ert G. Hllgard, of the Bellviile Savings Bank,
went to Chicago, where young Henry had
run hard aground, and brought him to Belle
Vile. But he left soon, and for five or six
years not word was heard OF him. II seems,
however, that Henry Hilgard tvillard) be-
came acquainted with Horace Greeley when
that Journalist visited the Wild West, "who
engaged Linn as correspondent for his pa
per, the New York Tribune. As correspond
emit, Hilgard assumed the non de plume OF
Willard, and under this assumed name he
soon gained celebrity as an excellent news
paper writer, particularly rs war cores
pondent. The foundation TO his immense
fortune he laid during the time when govern
ment bonds stood very low by fortunate spec
ulation In these papers. During that time
he visited Europe four times. His knowledge
