SNOW COMES HIGH.

Calculations of the loss to the CITY
caused by the storm are apt to be little
fancIful; but of course the activity and
industry of the vast multitude Of people
who live in or are gathered into the city

900, 900 that might have been earned has
not been earned, and will not be distrib

people are so much the poorer for the
loss of 1t, They are already $1,000, 900
out OF pocket. and the trouble is not
over. II fall Of snow in the city can
cause an embarrassment to commerce
and industry that may cost us $1,000
QUO day, is it not poor economy for
the financial authorities to fool with
such a subject by appropriating $25, 900
for the removal of snow from the streets.
II little children played at city govern
ment, il strikes us they would play with
more sense than that, II between Mon
day morning and Saturday night the
snow is to cost us 81 ,000,0 900 day, or
two millions for three days and half that
for the other three. or 81, 900 600 for the
SIX days. it would be cheap as dirt to
spend 81 900 900 on Tuesday and get rid
OF il at once, since then we should evi
IDENTIFY save 5000, 900. But the mum
ciral authorities who imagine some
thing wonderful is done when $1,000
600 is spent for cleaning the streets foz
a year, would evidently never recover
from the proposition to spend g., ,O00, 900
on one snow storm. Householders paid
on Tuesday upward Of 100000, perhaps
nearer 100000 to have the sidewalks
cleaned in front Of their houses, and
this was only TO shovel the snow into
the street-to move the snow ten feet.

Se5, 900 will not remove more than 90
900, 600 cubic yards of snow down to the
river. The trouble with the authorities
is that they classify snow as street dirt;

"NASAL VOICES, CATARRH AND
FALSE TEETH.

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrilI
nasal voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant
twitting they get about this nasal twang
and yet it is fact caused by our dry
stimulating atmosphere, and the uni
versal presence of catarrhal difficult
ties.
But why should so many of our wo-
men have false teeth?
That is more of poser to the English.
1t is quite impossible TO account for it
except on the theory of deranged stom-
ach action caused by imprudence in
eating and by want of regular exercise
Both conditions are unnatural.
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption,
which are promoted by mal-nntritiou
induced by deranged stomach action.
The condition is a modern one, one un.
known to our ancestors who prevented
the catarrh, cold, cough and consump-
ton by abundant and regular use of
what is now known as Warmers Log
CABIN Cough and Consumption Remedy
and Log Cabin Sarsaparila, two old
fashioned standard remedies handed
down from our ancestors, and now ex-
clusively put forth under the strongest
guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
world famed makers of Warmers safe
cure, These two remedies plentifully
used as the spring and summer seasons
advance give a positive assurance of
freedom, both from catarrh and those
dreadful and il neglected. inevitable
consequences. pneumonia. lung troubles
and consumption, which so generally
and fatally prevail among our people.

tail to the schools. Une teacher takes
the school, runs it as he thinks best OF
lets it run itself; his succesor does the
same, and the money in this way IS vir-
tually thrown away, because there is NO
supervision. The agent hires the teach
ers, and, as a rule, the teachers are hired
lnstantaneously with the election of the
agent. In one school meeting, not many
years since, they had elected the agent
and were giving him some instructions,
when one man rose to make this motion
"lf the agent has no sister, or cousin.
or aunt that wants the school, | move
that he be instructed to hire good
teacher"
The motion was made, of course, IN a
spirit of fun, but it pretty well illus
traLes the common way of hiring teach
ers. The agent hires the teachers and
never inquiries into their qualifications;
indeed, he has no authority to do 80.
The supervisor, as a rule, will certify
HIM If he thinks there is a chance for
him to get through. He may refuse to
do so, but he rarely does. He has practi
cally no choice in his teachers and is, of
course not responsible for his schools.
The agent has no supervision and is, of
course not responsible. In fact there is
no responsibility anywhere under this
vicious system, The supervisor does as
well as he can, but he receives only
$l3 90 for visiting at least Is terms OF
school twice IN each term, or 36 cents
per visit. No one can blame hlm if the
results are not what they should be. The
district system is to blame for the
results, and the town is to blame for the
district system. Still Freedom will hang
on to the same old system this spring
and will be initiated by all the towns in
the county, whose condition is in many
cases no better, and in some worse.

SOME FUNNY THINGS.

D'u gOu S'Vl uOtiCS thc peCulldI ways
some people have of wording and punct.
uating signs and notices? said gentle
man, in Chattanooga to Times report
er the other day.
Don't know that l have, replied the
pencil pusher.
Well, you notice as you go along the
street, or notice the advertisements and
headlines in some papers, and you will
be surprised.
Following this cue, the reporter began
TO cast his eyes about him in his walk
along Market street. The first sign that
attracted his particular attention was
hung IN front of hat renovating es.
tablishment, and which makes the fol.
lowing announcement:
Your hat blocked while you wait for
so cents.
1t fails to state how long you must
wait for the so cents, and therefore the
exact time at which the 'dicer' will be
returned to its owner is rather vague,
A little further on and a commission
house was reached, where large piece
of pasteboard swung out to the breeze,
upon which, in letters that evidently
emanated from marking pop, appear
ed the words:
Goose Featheres Marked Down.
Now, whether this was a practical
joke on the part of the merchant the re.
porter did not know, but as down comes
from goose, and are goose feathers,
they can very appropriately be marked
down without any false representa-
tions on the part of the seller, or with
out conveying the fact that they are
cheaper than they have been before,
Then the reporter began to scratch
his intelligent Uranium and sauntered
back to the office. AS he csossed the
street near the pants factory. he saw a
small sign hanging 10 a post, and going
little nearer, read the startling inteli-
gence:
Female Pants Makers Wanted
Comment was unnecessary and the
scribe went on his way.
A few minutes later he picked up
Richmond, Va, paper, and in the want
column read the advertisement of to-
bacco manufacturing firm, which was
worded in this way:
Wanted-Four girls to strip in a to-
baccO factory,
Just underneath this was another
small 'ad,' stating;
For rent-Two rooms furnished with
a young widow.
Ye gods! The reporters brain began
to reel, and in spite of himself he began
to wonder what the world is coming
to. He had been raised in Christian
community and his cultured mind fail
ed to grasp the sanctity of the situa-
tion.
In despair he turned from the adver.
tising columns; and imagine the har-
rowed state of his feelings when he
read an account OF a double murder
in which it was stated that John Rice
was shot is the abdomen; the other man
was shot in the saloon next door.
And thus it runs through the various
exchanges and on many signs, One
paper that was looked at conveyed the
intelligence that several dogs were shot
in the West end Not being thoroughly
familiar with the dog anatomy, and
totally unaware as to the direction In
which the dogs were headed, the report
er cannot say whether getting shot in
the West end was any more fatal 10 their
dogships than to be shot in the head or
neck,

HOW To cROW RICu.

In New York recently trial was held
in which daughter tried to set aside a
will made by her father in favor of her
mother, Mrs. Horacek. who was a wit
ness, wore fur embroidered cloak and
was quite stylishly dressed, as befitted
her rising fortunes. She stated that she
and her husband were born IN the same
town in Bohemia and grew up together.
Shortly after their marriage In 1869
they came to this country,

In answer to other questions she stat

Seventh street, where they opened a
small cigar store. They worked hard,
and early and late, and lived on little
and spent not a penny needlessly. At
the end of three years they moved TO No.

store there.

Judge Goldfogle, but make and sell ci

Oh yes, was the reply, we sold news

Yes, and also the house adjoining.
We paid 5000 in cash and gave a mort

And that was paid off, interrupted
Judge S eckler, the associate counsel of
Judge Goldfogle. before the death of
your husband in June, 1881.

In her further testimony Mrs. Hora

the property to her Of his own volltion

said he meyer acted otherwise than ra.
