WeIl-SeIected Reading.

In medicine every poison has its anti
dotes. The world is full of poisonous
reading matter. 1t is around US on every
side. Our bookstores, many OF them.
are largely filed with it; the news-stands
are loaded with the stuff: it is thrown into
our laps while riding in the rall-cars; it
is placed before our eyes as we pass quiet
" along the streets and even If we re-
fuse all these inducements. we cannot get
away from it, In the retirement Of our
homes it is thrown under our doors; or il
our windows are hoisted to admit fresh
air. it il thrown into our parlors or draw
ing-rooms.
When our children are small, we fur
nish them with toys for their amusement.
We select them with much care. seeing to
it that we purchase nothing whereby our
dear child can possibly iniure its little
hands or body. As the child grows older,
it is no longer amused by these little baby
TOYS: its mind begins to expand; it is
better entertained by pictures. little
story-books, and nursery magazines.
As the body grows so the mind OF a
healthy child develops. and it must be fed
with healthy reading matter. The world
is flooded with poisonous literature so we
must supply the antidote by placing in our
cbildren's hands well-seiected and i'm
proving reading matter.
As the Younger years are given mostly
to the care OF the mother, it rests chiefly
with her to choose the nutriment which
child takes to crafty its literary appetite,
and she should choose it with as much
care as she would the TODD used.
One should be as careful in selecting a
book, as in ones choice Of a companion ;
for your association among books will
have Just the same effect upon your own
character. as a companion would have.
Every immoral book you read weakens
your moral sense.
"where such fairies once have danced
No grass will ever grow"
Yet President Porter says: ''No man
can read with profit that which he cannot
learn to read with pleasure. So we must
place in the hand Of the child that which
will be well pleasing to his mind, or he
will derive but little benefit therefrom--
Good Cheer.

supreme Lodge. TX. of r

On next Tuesday, April %, the Supreme
Lodge OF Knights of Pythias meets in the
city Of New Orleans. 1t is thought that
this gathering OF Knights in biennial
session will be one of the grandest at.
fairs Of the kind over held in America,
members Of the Order from all owe the
United States will be- present, every grand
and many subordinate Jurisdictions being
represented. The estimated number to
participate in q grand parade ranges
from 5000 to rs. ZOO. The Uniform Rank,
which is really a separate body, will meet
ct the same time and participate in all
the festivities OF the occasion. To give
our readers an idea OF the extent to which
some jurisdictions enter into this affair, il
is only necessary TO cite the fact that the
order in Michigan, n Of the most dis
tant States, leased one of the largest no
tells in the city and will operate it during
their stay there. Iowa engaged four large
steamers to take members Of the order
there and to supply them with board and
lodging during their stay and the entire
round trip. Illinois enters into the matter
on An equally large scale.

TEACHERS CONFERENCE.
Suggestions for Amendment 10 tint
Sel.oOl LAW.

suggestions % Amendments 10 thB
School Law.
The Committee on the Revision Of the
School Laws Of Nevada, appointed by the
last State Teachers institute, will hold
their first meeting at the Office Of the Su'
perintendent Of Public Instruction, Car
son, New, next Saturday, at 10 A. M. Ths
members of that committee are Supt. C.S
Young, Supt. f. b. Gray OF Storey county,
Supt. John G.. Young of Lyon county,
Principal H. II. Howe of Carson, Principal
q. +. Foster Of Reno, Principal E. p. Nc
Donald of Eureka, Principal e. 8. Far
rington of the State University, Principal
D. L. Bristow of Austin, and Principal ].
e. Bray Of Dayton. The object of the
committee is either TO prepare a new school
law, or to make the needed amendments in
the present one, and to submit the results
OF the deliberations to the next Legisla-
ture. There seems to be unison OF action
in this matter on the part of the teachers
Of the State, and it is now believed that
some good will result from the united
effort of the teachers in behalf of reform
in educational matters.-Carson Index.
1t is important that something be done
to make the school law of Nevada consist
ent with itself, at least. 1t is q poor, lame
affair. The prominent teachers named
will do well to counsel together on the
subject proposed. 1t is to be hoped, but
not to be expected 1--WE can't help saying
SOY, that they will be harmonious in their
deliberations, for whatever improvement
they may suggest has to go through the
skulls Of rs Nevada legislators. The
teachers, after devising practical amend
ments, should act in unison to press their
adoption by our law makers, who may be
influenced in this way to do what is neces-
sary. II o delegation of teachers should
go to Carson as a lobby against reform in
the school law, as has been the case, then
good-by to every wholesome proposition to
amend. All the average legislator, who
knows the least imaginable about public
schools and text books. wants is an excuse
to move to lay q school bill on the table,
or to indefinitely postpone it.

been increased to meet the emergency, and
that all diligence is nov being used to ad-
just the claims. He says that they will be
certified for payment without any avoida-
BILE delay, in their proper order; and that
treasury drafts, payable to he order OF the
claimants, respectively, will be forwarded,
at the earliest day possible, through the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue and

American Newspapers i'm 1854.

FROM the edition of Messrs. George P.
Rowell & Co. g American Newspaper Direc-
tory, now in press, it appears that the
newspapers and periodicals of all kinds al
present issued in the United States and
Canada reach a grand total Of 13,402.
This is precisely 1900 during the last II
months. and exhibits an increase of 5,61e
over the total number published 10 years
since. The increase in 1874 over the total
for 1878 was 1873. During the past year
the dailies have increased from l,138 to
1854; the weeklies from 9,062 to 10, OPS;
and the monthlies from 1,091 to 1,499,
The greatest increase is in the Western
States. Illinois, for instance, now shows
1909 papers in place of last years total Of
904, while Missouri issues 604 instead Of
the 523 reported in 1883: Other leading
Western States also exhibit a great per-
centage of increase. The total number OF
papers in New York State is l, 523. against
1909 in 1883. Canada has shared in the
general increase,
