SCHOOL EXHIBITION The industri-
al and loan exhibit of our public school,
which was held the afternoons and
evenings of Thursday Friday and Sat-
urday OF last week, attracted more than
ordinary attention. Each department
was protusely ornamented with flowers
pictures and bric-a-brac; and hung on
the wall in each room was the motto OF
the department worked in evergreens.
The standing ofeach pupil at last exam
nation. specimens of penmanship and
drawing were displayed and some article
or bit of fancywork made by each scholar
was exhibited which to say the least
was original and in some cases extreme
ly artistic and ingenious, revealing in
ventiye genius and mechanical powers
of no mean order. The Chapel of itself
was complete museum of rare and
antique paintings and specimens of ar
tistic needlework, which was well worth
more than the price of admission. The
exhibition throughout was most sue
cessful affair and an evidence of the
untiring zeal and devotion to school
work of the principal and efficient
corps of assistants which speaks louder
than words. The net proceeds were
about $40, which goes to swell the
piano fund.

The following, in answer to an in
quiry about building tobacco sheds, IS
given in the Baldwinsville On. W
Gazette: We would say there are
various ways to build and ventilate a
shed, each one having some merit.
Probably as good, if not the best way,
is the latest Pennsylvania shed, which
is constructed on the following plan ::
In the first place, cellar is built under
the whole shed, the walls being built so
that the first floor of the shed will be a
trife over three feet above the ground
Part of the cellar is divided off and a
floor put down, to be used as strip
ping and asserting room. The rest is
used as a damp and dark cellar, in
which the tobacco is hung after being
taken down from the poles. This
puts it in splendid condition for
stripping. :
The shed is built on these cellar
walls, with doorway at either end, to
drive in and out of. Ventilators are
placed on the roof of the shed-one,
two. or three, according to the size
of the shed. At the bottom of the
shed, on all sides, doors, three
feet wide, open from the floor, the
hinges being placed on the upper end
the doors swinging up. These doors
are never less than three feet wide.
Then, between the tiers there are small
doors, ten inches wide, hung in the
same manner.
In addition to the ventilators on the
roof, frequently ventilators are placed
in the gables also. These ventilators
above and also the upper doors are
controlled from below by means of
cords and pulleys. These doors be-
tween the tiers are only open on very
close and sultry days, when there is
danger of "burn.
The wide opening at the bottom (be-
low where any of the tobacco is hung,
so that the wind cannot whip it and
damage it,, with the ventilators on the
roof, give an excellent circulation of
air through the entire shed, better and
more uniform temperature is kept, and
the tobacco cures down with a better
color, besides being much easier to
| handle
This describes, in very general way,
what is considered, in Pennsylvania, the
best and most practical shed for the
cure of tobacco. The putting of the
tobacco in lamp cellar, after it is
taken down from the poles, keeps it in
fine condition for handling at any and
all times.

----- 49, -
The Duration of Sleen.

Let us briefly allude to the duration
of sleep-how in some cases a few
hours will suffice, and in others a
longer period is needed. Dr. Reid, the
IN etaphysician, could work for two
days without a break if he got one
sound sleep after full meal. If the
stories about Lord Brougham could be
believed, he could work on less sleep
than most people require. Frederick
the Great and John Hunter required
only five hours sleep; but it must not
be supposed that because men with
exceptionally powerful nervous or
CARNATIONS can dispense with the
normal quantity of sleep it would be
safe for everybody to follow their ex-
ample. The sleep of the heart, which
we have seen to amount to eight hours
out of the twenty-four, is fair indica-
ton of the quantity of sleep which on
an average ought to be allowed to the
brain. As Sir Thomas Browne, the
learned knight of Norwich, hath it:
Half our days We pass In the shadow
of the earth, and the brother of death
extracteth a third part of our lives. p
Science for All.

Care of Children.

Lifelong discomfort and sudden
death often come to children through
.he inattention or carelessness of
parents. A child should never be al
lowed to 60 TO sleep with cold feet; the
thing TO be last attended to is to see
that the feet are dry and warm. Neglect
Of this has often resulted in dangerous
attacks of Group, diphtheria, or fatal
sore throat. Always on coming from
school, on entering the house from a
visit or errand in rainy, muddy, or
tbawy weather, the child should remove
its shoes, and the mother should her
self ascertain whether the stockings are
the least damp. If they are, they should
be taken of, the feet held before the
fire, and rubbed with the hands until
perfectly dry, and another pair Of
stockings and another pair of shoes put
on. The reserve shoes and stockings
should be kept where they are dry, so
as to be ready for use on a minutes
notice. -ErchanQe.

Fenuim0re.


Like all other communities, our peo-
pie are watching with great interest the
weather. The late frosts did consider
able damage, in that it greatly retarded
the growth of corn, potatoes and other
vegetables. 1t is thought now, but la
ter events may change the outlook, that
all kind of crops will be good At all
events, that is the hope that animates
the people.
The late rains have proved blessing
to the farmers, and they are very
thankful therefor.
On Monday morning, Mrs. W. H.
Pedicord left for a visit to Ohio, Mrs
w. l.. Brown went to Michigan for q
visit and Mrs. Matt Birchard went tc
Chicago for medical treatment. Mrs
j. w. Vedder and daughter are visiting
at the Hurricane.
On Friday last, Decoration Day, the
Fennimore schools, joined by neighbor
ing schools, turned out about three hun
dred strong at picnic given to Prof
Main, who has closed his school labor:
here. The exercises held in the grove,
about two miles east of the village
were attractive and interesting. They
were: First-Decorating the Queens
Second-Crowning the Queens. Thi.
was done on the large rock that stand:
out on the ground where the exercises
were held. Third-May Day Song
Then the dinner hour was announced
the well filled baskets brought forth
and all did ample justice to the Wand:
placed before them. Swings were
erected and after the dinner had been
disposed of, the children joined in Z
romp through the grove, occupied the
swing, and took part in many innocent
games. There was the rope pulling
team which was admired by large
number eff picnicers. Addresses were
delivered by M. l.. Brown, on temper
ance; by Prof. Main, farewell address
to his pupils; by O. T. Parker, a gener
al talk of the day and occasion of the
gathering. There was singing in abund
ance, chatting and visiting in great
quantity, and good time was had gen
orally. Messrs Wannamaker and Ma
20 had stand on the ground, which
did quite a business.
Mr.. f. o. Parker and family cam,
near having a serious accident at the
picnic last Friday. In driving acros.
one of the spring branches, the horse.
made jump, throwing the occupant!
of the carriage to the ground. For
tunately, aside from a few bruises, ne
great damage resulted.
On Tuesday afternoon occurred tn,
exercises of laying the corner stone fo
the new Catholic church being erected
in this village. Arch Bishop Heiss haC
delegated the work to Rev. Fathe
Schawiger, of Lancaster, who was as
sisted by Rev. Thomas Dempsey, 0
Highland, Rev. f. T. Weinhart, .
Dodgeville, and Rev. Roedemacher, oil

livered, one in Polish, one in German
and one in English. A large and inter
ested audience was present, and the
sermons were listened to closely by tn,
congregation.

Mans Microscopic Enemies.

Man has suffered long from their raw
ages III person and estate; but he has
usually attributed his misfortune to
every cause but the real one. In
trenched as these foes of his are in cita
dels of littleness, he has mostly over
looked them, and has only of late years
begun to hunt out their significant Sc
crets, which are closely interviewer with
famine, pestilence and pain. From his
beginning he has struggled on through
an unseen mist of organic atoms, wrest-
ling hard all the while with the mani
fold evils these have wrought, and gen.
orally unwilling of the miasma that en-
vironed him, and that was bringing woe
on himself and his household, and
working sad havoc among his stock,
and crop, and chattels. He can face
the hon or tiger, and may conquer with
gun or spear. But how can he dislodge
these infinitely more fatal foes from
their microscopic lairs; how overcome
the countless multitude? The larger
of the wild beasts fall back before him
into the thickest forests and most dis
NAL solitudes, or their kind becomes
extinct. The mammoth and mastodon,
for instance, have vanished from the
face of the earth. But the small YER
min defy extinction. Rats and mice
have for thousands of years feasted and
sometimes iattened at mans expense,
and yet he has all along been hunting
them down, trapping, poisoning, plot
ting against them, devising cunning
schemes, setting eager dogs after them,
encouraging patient cats to watch at
holes and crevices. The insect phyl-
ioxera is eating no the vineyards of
sunny France, in spite of the Academy
of Sciences and its money prizes offered
for remedy. In North America the
Colorado beetle gets copious doses of
arsenieal compounds, and yet it sur
wives. Consider, then, that these small
creatures, which man finds it so much
harder to subdue than the great beasts
of the field, are yet of gigantic size
when contrasted with the microscopic
plants that are in league with his i'm
placable enemies, famine, disease, and
death -GOnd Words
