4 Teacher Cornered.

Prof joe Logan, OF the Springfield
school, was experimenting the usu-
al educational business at the.school
house the either day, and the geo
graphical grind was on. In the class
to which Joe was putting eonun-
drums was an .pncouth boy recently
from a rural district, who, while
toler.bly well posted, was not ele-
CANT or eloquent in manner OF an
swering questions, and be answered
in such a slovenly and careless way,
that Prof Logan became disguised,
and said
That is not the way to answer n
question. Come up here and take
my seat. | will take yours Then
you viii ask me question and Il
will show you how to answer 4.
"AlI right" said the youth. ajaF
he climbed into the Professors chair.
while the latter took position IA
the class, whereup0n all the hoys
were tickled and watched with great
anxiety and anybody present might
have heard pin drop.
"Mr. Logan" remarked the tenn
porary Professor, as he put his feet
ON the desk, please stand up" a
Mr.. Logan did so.

4 confused expression came over
Mr.. Logan's countenance. He shut
fled around uneasily, scratched his
head, and admitted that. without
reading up little on the subject, he
would be unable to answer the ques-
ton.
"Well, then" said the boy, come
up here and take my place and |
will show you how to answer it.
And again an exchange Of places
was made, and the youth answered
his own question, since which time
Prot. Logan has had high respect
for him and he is considered by the
other boys as a sort of adjunct Pro-
fess0r.

trical Congress, patrons of the dra-
ma will henceforth be able - see as
well as to hear their favoritc operat-

apparatus consists of a small "ob-

commanding the stage of some thea
ter, and connected by an electric
wire with diminutive white glass
plate, which may be framed and set
in the panel of a private drawing
room. however distant from the
playhouse in question. Total dark
ness having been obtained in the
room furnished with dioscope, a
perfect picture of the stage, its seem
cry, actors, ETC., faithfully in color
and absolutely reproducing the
whole performance, will become Wis
able upon the surface of the glsss

communicating with the the theater,
the dioscope will therefore enable

the opera in dressing gown and
slippers seated at home in an easy

W ASHlNGION. Fer ID, 1907.
Last week the Union Veteran
Corps, oI' Washington, which is COM
posed entirely of old soldiers who
participated in the late unpleasant
ness, and the only armed organiza-
ton of the kind ia the United States,
paid General jacob NJ. Campbell,
of the 54th Penn. Vols, our Repre-
sentative in Congress, the compli
ment of electing him an honorary
member OF the organization.
Mrs. Charles Williamson, Of
Buckstown. and mother OF Mrs.
Plumber Pearson, is at present pay
ing her daughter a visit in this city.
Complaints have reached Wash
inaton repeatedly this winter from
different parts of Somerset county
in regard to delay and non-receipt
OF the mails. This has particularly
been the case III Shade and Stony
creek townships, and more particu-
larly on the post route from Berlin,
via Shanksville and Buckstown, to
Stoystown. Our Representative has
been to the Post Office Department
frequently in regard to this matter,
and has every promise from the Off
cials Tor relief. The trouble seems
10 have been caused entirely bv
those Kentucky star-route contrac-
tors who try to run the Post Office
Department in their own way But
can tell you this humbuggery has
got to be stopped. ''Uncle Jake" is
after them and is determined the
mails shall be carried according to
the contract. and according to the |
schedule laid down by the Depart |
ment hereafter.
1t seems the contractor or agent

here fortified with paper signed by I

The law giving to the women of NJ ass
achusetts the right to vote for mem bers
of school committees took effect In 1879
In that year in Boston 989 women regis
tered and 934 voted; in 1850, 772 women
registered and 6S3 voted; in 1881, 74s
women registered and GAO voted. In a
word, the women of Boston appreciate
their privilege 30 highly that both the
registration and the percentage of reg
istered women voting have declined
every year since they obtained it. Ne
doubt these figures will be twisted into
an argument in favor of woman suffrage
but it is little hard to see just how II

pendent Of the legislature. They be-
long to the school voters Of the dis
tricts in which they are located each
year the voters meet and vote upon,
the question as to how much tax they
win assess on their property for school
purposes or whether they will have
school tax if none, then there will be
no school-and the only penalty is in
the Withholding of the proportion OF
money from the school fund of tho
State to which such school district
would be entitled were there q public
school in it. The negroes have the
same right to meet in their school dis
tricts and vote TO tax themselves to
raise school fund. But the object
of the grumblers, is desire to break
down the barriers to the negroes en-
tering the public schools Of Delaware,
as has been done in several other
States recently, and force the white
children of the districts into COM
panionship with the negroes, knowing
that the more well-to-do and wealthy
people will then abandon the schools
altogether, or vote no tax and no
schools. Some wealthy people are
absolutely in favor of this in order to
give them an excuse for voting down
the schools and escaping the school
tax upon their property.

THE DAIRY PRoDUCT.-Ip . speech
before the Committee of Congress, Mr.
Jacobs, of New York, In advocating
that stamp tax ba placed on each
pound of oleomargarine, called atten-
ton to the fact that the money value of
the annual dairy product exceeds that
Of the wheat crop or the corn crop, aud
is grea.er than shat of cotton and wood
combined, and is between S4O0, 900
and $6O0,00O,000. From 100000 to
5000, 900 of the American people are in
terested in this industry aud the capitaI
invested in it aggregates from S4,000,-
600, 900 to $4,000 ,000,0 900. Colonel Jacobs
described the patent process by which
oleomaIRariue, butterine, etc. are made.
He sald that until 1873 the manufacture
of oleomargarine made little headway,
bur within the last three years it has in
creased with wonderful rapidIty, and
MI. Jacobs estimates that the annual
manufacture in New York city aud
State alone amounts to 20, ,00O, 900 pounds,
one-fifth as much as the annual dairy
product of the State. He estimates the
yearly loss to the dairy interest at $780,.
900 10 $500 900. The possi bilities Of de-
yelopment for oleomargarine manufac-
tnre are very great, and Mr.. Jacobs
computes that IN The CITY and State OF
New Y York alone 10000, 900 pounds Of
bogus butter or oleomargarIne can b
made in a single year. The entire but
ter product Of the State for the yeal
1875 was III ,Ol8,4l3 pounds. $50 that tn,
