HUMBLE HEROES.

There are men of worth and honor,
Who are ever brave and true,
Who are strong to work and suffsr
In whate'er they find to do;
And although their lot be lo"ly'
Though they ne'er be known 10 ISme'
Tho the crowd should pass them coldiy'
They are heroes, just the same.
There are those who daily labor
Turning up ths stubborn soil,
Winning home and food for loved ones
By the hands uDceasing toll;
Though they never gain the friendship
OfIhe rich and proud Of earth,
Mong the worlds renowned aud noble
There are none OF greater worth.
He who does bis duty br4vely,
Though it lead through humble ways
Who would scoru an evil action,
Needing neither blame nor praise,
Who would not Withhold his helping
From suffering brothers needs,
Surely is as much hero
As be who does greater deeds.

WOman's Province.
THE DUTIES OF THE GENTLER SEX
HOW BEST FULFILLED.

HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task is assigned to wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province to make laws, to lead
armies, nor to be at the head of great en-
terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint of bodily infrnity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
ual and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti
ments which in time to come will be a
part of themselves, and bless generations
vet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty. Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed of a strong and healthy
body? The preparation of DR.. S. B.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is Just
the thing for persons suffering from a ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
and was troubled with bad cough. She
had tried number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was in
duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. !.
w. Reynolds, her husband, was a con-
frmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. IIeused PERUNA,
and as a result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like a new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Serbs, St. Clair, ST.
Clair county, Mich, saws: g have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA IN the various
diseases to which parents and alarge fam
lily of children are ever liable, and I find
itin every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it
Nancy Feterman, Cookport, Indiana
County, Pa, says: " Gentlemen: Your
valuable PERUNA is the best medicine 1
ever used"

have said equal to any in the world, but
since the New Orleans Exposition have
doubts. Do the schools of the rural dis
tricts stand as we'll relatively before the
country? | fear not. 1t is not in rea-
son that they should. Whatever their
deficiencies, they should be charged al
most altogether to a lack of proper
legislation, No one OF the old free States
has done so little in this directionss ours.
And this is a fact that should be stated
with great directness, for our legislators
believe directly to the contrary. of sys-
tenn for this class of scbools,in any prep
er sense of the word, ws have none. The
fault is not with the people, for when
they have bsen afforded the opportunity
they have always shown q liberal spirit
in all things pertaining to their schools
As for the teachers, their enthusiasm
and devotion have been beyond praise
an enthusiasm and devotion sufficient
to accomplish anything but the impos
sible.
The country schools need ~ to Fix
upon the township as the unit in the
State system; (2) efficient supervision
and 81 State normal schools to furnish
qualified teachers. These three would
work together in the direction Of unity
of educational effort.
The manner by which the members of
the township board shall be elected is
not essential; but it is highly important
that the plan for the election should be
such that good men shall be got into the
places. As the township unit involves
the wiping out entirely Of sub districts
with all their annoying eDtanglemeDts
and hindrances, this election must be Oh
general ticket, so far as educational
interests are concerned at least. That
the number of members should be small
would also seem to be wise provision.
A decision of the question whether the
supervision should be township or coun-
ty is not essential, SO far as the present
discussion is concerned. Township su-
pervision will require no additional leg
islation to set it in operation; and the
gratifying success that is attending the
experiments now making in it, fully
warrants the strenuous efforts of ouI
School Commissioner to extend the
scheme. County boards of education
and county supervision are likely, i'll
time, to follow, as a natural Outgrowtb
and Citing supplement Of the township
board and of township supervision. Ii
seems likewise highly probable that
township high schools, institutions most
essential to the elevation of the educa
tional standard in country schools,-are
likely to grow out of unified township
boards and of township supervision.
Finally, out of the two would grow a
better grading of schools with systemat-
ic courses of study fitted to their wants
But the most pressing want of the
rural schools reserve to be mentioned
lass and that is that the educators of
the State shall unite on one measure,
and push that measure with all the
might there is in them.
