Rules for the Use of aimed Meats.

In warm weather more especially, but
really at all times, it Is advisable after
opening can of canned meat to remove
the contents from the can, and if not all
consumed at one meal not to replace the
meat in the can, but to place 1t in the ice
box, or at least take rs much care of 1t as
of fresh or cooked butcher meat. so long
as the can is air tight it matters not wheth-
er it be left for years at the poles or the
tropics; but after the contents are once ex-
posed to the air they must not be treated
with any less care than would be bestowed
on ordinary fresh or cooked meat. 1t is the
failure to observe these simple precautions
that leads to sickness or poisoning

declared by many to be the ghastliest sigh

having a bullet in his brain and a large Gu

throat cut from ear to car. Both men wer

Now is the time when school directors
are casting around to secure teachers IL
fill the various positions for the Winter
term. 1t is fact that teachers are toe
poorly paid, New branches are being con
stantly added to the list Of common schoo
studies, the standard grade OF certificates
is all the time being advanced, and the
teacher is expected and compelled to keep
abreast and ahead of all these and wha'
inducement is there for him to do so The
average mechanic and day workman car
command better wages than the man who
has devoted years of life to hard study anc
spent hundreds of dollars to prepare him
self for a teacher. Nowadays it requires
almost college professor to teach com
mon school, and yet they are expected t
work for less wages than they can realiz'
| at manual labor.

Last week was too hot for your Orange
vile correspondent. The extreme heat
getting the better of him he concluded to
crawl into an ice house and cool off, bat
now is out again under more favorable
temperature.
The last rains have been very cncourag-

crops appear to be on boom. Corn cs-
pccally looks very promising.

Two heavy weights of enormous proper

raid on one small bass this season. Re.
