with the oldest peaks, curves, flares
and gable-ends-styles which are only
suited to a rosy girl, with piquant

of wavy hair. There arc, however,
some hundred different shapes, so that
no one need this season to be forced to
wear an unbecoming or inappropriate
head-covering from lack of variety.
The princesse and neat French cottage

shown no eccentricity. Flowers are
used in abundance, and among the

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN.
Some Timely Advice on Education fC
Parents and Teachers.

Some Timely Advice on Education fol-
Parents and Teachers.
Let every parent and guardian see
that the children have books of their
own to use, such as they need in every
branch of their study. No man, be he a
farmer or mechanic, goes to his work
without the necessary tools to work
with, and it is the height of folly to
send a child to school without his
books. Some parents are too penuri.
GUS to buy books, and tell their chill.
dren to borrow from others in the
school. This degrades the child in his
own esteem and in the esteem of his
associates. AS to those who are really
poor and can not supply their chill
dren with books, let them apply to the
proper authorities, whose duties it is
to see that the poor are furnished with
them. would advise every teacher to
dismiss and send home all children that
come to school without books, with the
reason why they are sent away, so that
the teacher and school shall not be
embarrassed with such scholars, and
that the responsibility may rest where
it properly belongs.
The teacher should always be kind
and good-natured, social and obliging,
and let the scholars see and feel that
they can approach their teacher, and
that he loves and respects them. Then
they will cluster around their teacher,
and he or she will have their love and
confidence, and the school will be
easily governed. Any teacher that
shows favoritism to one and dislike to
another, or flies into a passion before
the school, should be at once dismissed
and never be recommended to teach a
common school, whatever other qualiti-
cations he may possess. Teachers should
talk to their scholars at the opening
and close of the school every day, and
pleasantly remind them of faults that
need correcting, and praise them
where it is due, and appeal to their
good sense and best nature. Love Is
the supreme power of the mind, and
when the teachers exhibit this, and it
flows out to every child under their
care, every child will love them and be
obedient to every sensible rnle OF the
school.
Never was there time in the his
tory of our State, nation or world when
80 much could and should be done to
educate the rising generations. Let
every teacher deeply feel and realize
his responsibility.-Prof !. E. Chaad.

why Intelligent Persons Preserve Youth
Longer Than Ignorant People.

Longer Than Ignorant People.
remember that when was sixteen
I put the end OF useful and ornamental
life at about thirty. After that came
the sere and yellow leaf--and memo-
ries. And used often to feel sad, re-
membering how brief life was.
Life is short enough, Heaven knows,
In reality, without laboring to make 1t
less than II is; but age does not come
with such rapidity as we are led to be-
lieve by the issues of the circulating
libraries. And in time we discover
that tho very writer's who gave us
these melancholy ideas, were by no
means young when they issued their
first popular works; in fact, they had
even then arrived at the period of life
at which they put their heroes and he
roines into wigs and spectacles. and
sent them tottering down hill on gold
headed canes.
Under favorable circumstances,
strength, vigor, ability to work, and
to enjoy ones self, may last out almost
any ones life time. Particularly 80 is
1t with brain-workers = with people
who keep themselves busy with the in
terests of this life. There are men and
women, and many of them, who are
composing music, writing histories,
completing great inventions and hold
ing high places in the political world,
with their seventieth year behind them.
And they actually look younger, and
are younger, than idle folk, and es-
pecially younger than ignorant people,
We meet ladies in society full of in-
telligence, well dressed, leaders of lit
tie cliqucs, and not at all ready to be
showed behind the door, whose BIRTH
days are actually far beyond those OF
the forlorn old people whom we find in
almshouses, or begging on some street
corner. And whyp Because society
people-let those who will think to the
contrary-must use their wits to hold
their own. They may not have very
high aims, but they must know how
the world goes round, must keep up
with its literature, it's music and its
drama, must comprehend its political
changes and acquire it's manner-must,
in short, polish themselves up physi-
cally and mentally, while those others
perhaps never learned to read, were
never taught to do any sort of handi-
work WE'LL and were not willing to use
their minds sufficiently to make sure
of bread and butter.
Illness and accidents aside, l believe
people have it in their own power to
clutch youth and hold it fast-not the
first youth of bloom and dimples, OF
course, but that of strength and ener-
gy, freshness OF emotion and warmth
of feeling. Any one is still young who
is still happy and useful.-M. Y. Ledger.

FIFTEEN-MILE GUNS. -
The Most Marvellous Thing Yet Attempted
In Gunnery,

In Gunnery.
Some important experiments have
been made at the Shoeburyness school
of gunnery in high-angle firing. A
London correspondent writes: Probably
no step Of regent years is likely to lead
to greater results, for if the experiment
should be repeated with the same sue
cess, it is undeniable that war ships
will have to be as fully protected on
their decks as they now are on their
broadsides. The experiments were
made with the 9-inch or 23-centimeter
gun used as q howitzer. An elevation
of 81 degrees was given and battering
charges were used with Palliser shells.
Out OF four shots three fell within q
space of 500 feet by 80 feet, represent
ing the deck of u first-class iron-clad,
and the range attained was IL miles!
Now, if it be really possible three times
out of four, or for that matter once out
of four times, to throw 9-inoh shell
upon the deck of ship in midchannel
between Dover and Calais, another
proof will have been given that in the
tedious duel between gun and armor
the gun has much the best of it. What
is very important, too, is that the heavy
charges and the high angle did not
strain either gun or carriage in the
least, and one OF the officers present
has said that he believed the gun
would stand 45 degrees OF elevation
without injury, while with AZ degrees
II range of 15 miles would be secured.
Now, at 10 miles, a ships "hull down."
80 it comes to this, that we can throw
IL 9-inch shell on to the deck Of ship
before we can seeit! Surely thisis the
most marvellous thing yet attempted in
gunnery, which Of later years has been
SO fruitful in surprises. d N. Reg

THROAT AILMENTS.
The Causes Producing Some of the Mo
Serious and Painful Forms.

| The Causes Producing Some of the More
Serious and Painful Forms.
Few ailments are more common than
sore throats, yet they'are largely pre-.
ventable. That is, they seldom come
to one in vigorous health, except as the
result of some violation of physical
law.
The more simple form OF sore throat
Is commonly due to exposure to in
! clement weather, but often Indirectly
to disturbed stomach. In fact, it il
not unfreq,iently due to this cause
alone. The person says he has taken
cold and wonders how he could have
done so, while the truth is, he has no,
taken cold at oil. The stomach, aso-
phagus, mouth, nose, etc., are lined
with a mucous membrane continuous
through this whole region, and the ir-
ritation begun in the stomach is propa.
gated over the whole mucous surface.
In all such cases the seat of the trouble
is the stomach, and accordingly the
efforts at cure, whether by medicine,
by diet, or by treatment, should be di.
rected to that organ.
Follicular tonsillitis is more serious
form of sore throat. 1t is perhaps due
to an infectious element, but even this
is generally powerless where the physi-
cal condition of the person who is ex-
posed to it is otherwise good. In this
case, too, the stomach may be the
prime offender. More frequently the
disease comes to those whose physical
condition is depressed by bad hygienic
surroundings. There are feversh
symptoms, the tonsils are inAamed and
swollen and covered more or less with
small white circular spots. These may
individually enlarge, SO us to form
patches somewhat resembling the char
acteristic patches Of diphtheria, which,
however, is skin-like membrane,
while the patches IN tonsillitis are
merely an exudation ON the surface,
which can be wiped of. The case
should nevertheless always have the
care of u physician. Sometimes the
tonsils become greatly inAamed, with u
tendency tonabscess. II becomes diff
cult TO swallow, and, indeed, to open
the mouth. Behind the lower jaw a
painful swelling is observed. The
difficulty may inarease for several days.
and then the inflammation may go down,
or, what is quite as likely to happen, a
very painful abscess may be formed,
on the evacuation Of which the symp-
toms subside. This is what is often
called quinsy. = Ysuth's Companion.

ALL BOSH AND CLAP-TRAP.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Virgini,
Democrats treat very lightly the an
nouncement of the Republicans that an
attempt is to be made to contest the
electoral vote of Virginia. James 5.
Barbour, of that State, says: 1T is all
merely clap-trap, gotten up by Quay,
Malone and other Republican leaders
in Virginia to try to impress upon the
incoming administration that they
have been making great effort fol
Republican supremacy. If there had
been any, fraud, dc you suppose the
Democrats would have carried The State
b.y' so small a majority, which is the
latest report of the returns?
1.-The fact is the Democrats did not
poll near so good vote as they might
have done. They felt secure and did
not cone out. On the other hand the
Republicans used money lavishly, AMI
made the best campaign they ever did.
There was no more unfairuess in the
late Virginia election than at every
election for hundred years.
"But for the matter Of going behind
these returns, it can't be done. The
election of electors is State matter,
certified by the State government, with
which the Federal government has
nothing to do. In the Tilden-Hayes
afairit was decided that there could
be no going back>on the returns. do
not regard these reports as of any ina-
portanee whateger.'

is not assessed and therefore escapes
taxation.
Now we have referred to this matter
not so much in the spirit Of criticism OF
the banks, but TO call attention to the
necessity and Importance Of devising
some means by which there can be q
better equalization of the returns OF
property for taxation. Of course II this
property Of the banks is liable to taxa
ton it should be listed for taxation and
taxed. But aside from this there is too
great disposition on the part Of some
people to value their property when
they come to make their returns too
low. Ar examination of the Auditors.
books will show that some people have
their goods insured for a greater amount
than they are listed for taxation.
The burdens Of taxation should bear
equally upon all the citizens of the
government in proportion to the pro-
perty owned. If every man would re-
turn his.property at its true value, and
if all property that is now escaping tax
alton could be cotton upon the tax
books, We believe our note Of taxation
would be materially reduced. These are
important questions which are of inter
est TO every TAXPAYER.

The SILVER LINING.

The New York Herald says that the
difficulty OF getting the correct vote OF
West Virginia and the closeness as be-
tween Democrats and Republicans in
that State, is the silver lining to the
Democratic defeat in New York. You
see if all the other States had gone as
they did, and New York had been
Democratic, West Virginia would have
decided which of the great parties had
won. It was first claimed by the Demo
Gratis and then it turned out to be Re
publican, and still later, on amore care
full count it was found to be Democratic.
The Herald says:
Now, then, if New York had gone
for Cleveland the result of the elections
would depend on West Virginia. And
what a rumpus we should have. The
country would by this time be in an
uDroar. Politicians and wire pullers
and artful dodgers would play their
shrewd tricks, and we should have a
perfect cyclone of elimination and sus-
picion and open charges of corruption,
and all the legions of sheol would be let
loose.
That is true. It is what might have
been, but there is most too big an "if'
in there to give much of silver lining
to Democratic defeat.
