IT seems fitting that the great war for
the preservation of the Union and for the
removal of the fundamental evil which
almost resulted in its permanent over
throw, should also furnish US with a ma
tional holiday. The memorable month
of the war period is April. The first shot
was fired on April IL. and Fort Sumter
surrendered on April 18th. The surren-
der Of Lees army to Grant at Appomat-
tox was on April 9, 1865. Lincolns assas-
sinatien fell upon April IA. The surren-
der Of the last Confederate army under
Johnston occurred April 20. The war
began in April and ended IN April. 1t is
not too early to perceive that the great
hero of the war period in the estimation
of the future generations of Americans
will be General Grant. His birthday fell
upon April 9Th. He would have been
sixty-four years old on Tuesday of last
week. His birthday was celebrated IN
Washington by meeting which evoked
number of memorable speeches.

After a Prolonged Struggle.

In 1864 l contracted blood poison.
Since that time I have suffered fortunes
from an affection of the skin, rheuma-
tism, and ulcerating sores. During those
long years of disease underwent treat
ment at the hands of leading physicians
in Norwich. Hartford, Providence, Bes-
ton and Chicago. Failing to get relief at
one place I would 60 to another, but
met with the same treatment and effect
everywhere. The quantities of mercury
and potash I have taken have not only
done me no good, but I believe it has
done much harm. have been taking
s. S. S. six weeks, and it is hard to believe
my own feelings, though the fact that
it has done more for me in that short
time than all other medicines have in
twenty years is plain and undeniable.
Six weeks ago was total wreck, with
out hope. Now that have taken four
teen bottles of 8. s. s. my rheumatism is
q thing of the past, and the scars only
show that I was diseased. When be-
gan taking Swift's Specific there was q
large eating ulcer over my right eye
which alarmed me greatly, and no one
who saw it thought I would get well.
Like the other it is gone, and thank
God for the creation Of Swift Specific
Co. and their great remedy.

Miss Amy Chandler is teaching in the
Dinsmoor district this summer
Supt. Belden is this week visiting
schools in the vicinity of Austin.
A few of the teachers have neglected
to send in the required report of the COM
mencement of their summer terms.
One of our bright young teachers
writes to the Superintendent: "There is
not recitation in school which gives as
much interesting work for the scholar as
drawing. The pupils have bright faces
when this exercise is announced"

SIMPLE ADORNAENT OF THE SCHOOL
RooM.-''How shall I make my school
room bright and attractive" IS one of the
first thoughts of live" teacher. If i
be summer, flowers can be used, but VIM
ter decoration requires little more time
and thought. In many country schools
there are no curtains. Take paper; cut
sheets of light brown in the shape of
lambrequins. All around the edge, fasten
with mucilage border of small pressed
ferns and autumn leaves, FASTING some of
the larger ferns and leaves in the center.
In the spaces between the windows, place
groups of pretty advertising cards. Over
the blackboard and at the end Of the
room place the largest cards. which, by
the way, look better if framed. This
may be easily done by cutting strips of
pasteboard and on these gluing acorns
and acorn cups, with punches of acOrns
on the corners. Fasten the strips to-
gether before the acorns are put on.
Bitter-sweet and pressed leaves may be
used in the same way.
Write motto on the board with colored
crayons, enclosed by scrol or banner:
Get the children interested and they will
pressed leaves, etc. The boys like
nothing better than 20 to the woods for
acorns and bitter-sweet, especially if the
teacher and the girls 90 with them. An
| empty peach basket. lined with piece
| of Turkey red calico, might be kept by
the teachers desk for waste paper. Ar
old craYon box might be vanished and
decorated with pictures to hold pieces

ments will entirely change the appearance
of the room.
Pictures may he had with almost ne
expense. If possible, part of the
board should be reserved for drawing
and any teacher can learn to draw very
we'll on the blackboard. No teacher
should try to teach primary school un
less she knows something about drawing
1t is very simple matter to save pretty
wood cuts. They are often suitable to-

ONLY Half Alive.

There are hosts OF men and women who, to
coin a phrase, are only half alive. That is to
say, they have seldom II ever any appetite,
are nervous, weak, fdgety, and troubled by
numberless small pains and aches. In the
nresence Of vigorous. exuberant vitality they
seem mere pigmies. Such persons are usually
fond Of frequently dosing themselves, swal-
lowing In course Of q year enough drugs to

Of health and vigor. Were they to seek it
