The report of the Superintendent of
of Public Instruction of New jersey
shows that q compulsory of education
law amounts to nothing unless it is
compulsory at both ends. New Jersey
has law compelling parents and
guardians to send their children of
school age to school certain number
of months in each year. The report
shows that only AS per cent of the
children of school age attended school
last year, and that the chief difficulty
lay not with parents or children, but
with the authorities, who failed to-
provide school accommodations for
those who wanted to attend. Laws

One Of our friends wants to know If
we have ever seen a bald-headed woman.
No, we never did. Why should we?
Nor we never saw woman waltzing
around town in her shirt sleeves with a
cigar between her teeth, stepping into
every saloon she saw We never saw a
woman go fishing with bottle in each
pocket, set on the damp ground all day
and go home drunk at night, Neither
have we seen woman yank off her coat,
spit in her hands and say she could lick
any son-of-a-gun in town. No, God bless
her, she ain built that way.-Greenville

WINTER.

The storm spirit, wrapped in his mantle

And far in her chambers the pale moon

Behind the dim folds of his vapory clouds
Beneath the dark pinion that shadows
the sky
Yelled is the light Of the nights starry

For chill winds are out from their cold
Northern regions,
And their blasts on the midnight are hur.
rying by.
The low, happy voices that gladden. the
Summer,
And lulled the young spirits with
dreams of delight,
Are lost in the tread of the gray pilgrim
conner,
Who girdles the rainbow with garments
Of night.
The dark, gloomy boughs of the tall for
est bending
Like far ocean music its faint numbers
sending;
Their hoarse moaning gives forth to the
gale,
To swell the tone of earth's funeral wall
Amid pale chaplet of dead forest leaves
All noteless and faded each fiowret is
lying;
And Love for her nurslings, so delicate
grieves
Where sweet-voiced zephYrs are mourn

While, dipped in the fountain of Death
his cold fingers
Baptize the chill earth with its shiver
ing spray;
A.pale withered thing from the shrine
of decay,
One thin, frosty wreath on his forehead

I give to thy season of fading and gloom
OF lonely Winter, heart prompted

And see in the death of thy bright bios

Strange grandeur and beauty to lighter

The Back of Bowrop,s Head.

George Bowron, as everybody knows, is the
leader Of the Columbia orchestra In the
course Of last summer Mr.. Bowron received a
draft for money and took it to bank and
handed it through little brass window to
the cashier. This gentleman looked at Mr..
Bowron, who blushed, as he always does when
people stare at him.
''Are you Mr.. Bowron?" asked the cashier.
~ believe am"
'Well, but you'll have to be identified"
'But I'm Bowron-George Bowron, leader
of the orchestra at the Columbia"
"Oh, know George Bowron is all right
enough, but l don't know that you're the
man. Just bring somebody chat we know to
identify you"
Mr.. Bowron was moving away in disgust
at the red tape and circumlocution which
rascality makes necessary in all professions,
when the cashier called him back.
Would you mind turning your back to
me and taking of your hatI" he asked.
Mr. Bowron did so.
Here's your money, Mr. Bowron It's all
right. I've known the back of your head for
five years Chicago Journal.

In Town and Hamlet.

The seeds of intermittent and bilious re-
mittent fever terminate and bear evil
fruit. No community has altogether
escaped it. In populous wards of large
cities bad sewage causes it, and in their
surburbs stagnant pools in sunken lots
breed it. There is at once a remedy ana a
means of prevention. Its name is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is, with
out peradventure, the most potent antidOte
in existence to the malaria virus. Forti-
fed with this Incompatible, saving specific,
miasmatic influences may be encountered
with absolute impunity. Disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, begotten by
miasma tainted water, or any other cause,
succumb to the beneficent corrective
famed, and rheumatic kidney and bladder
luOubles are surely removable by its use
when it is given persistent trial.

charge of Mr.. McAllister They were so
brilliantly successful that it was suggested to
continue the series of entertainments after
the return of the cottagers to New York,
making such changes in the nature of the en-
tertainments as the change of place and sea-
son might dictate. In this way the Patriarch
balls were started and Mr. McAllister, of
course, conducted them. Up to that time
all the large entertainments were given by
private people and the expenses Of them
were disbursed from private purses. I'm
der this arrangement a number of evils
grew up against which there was much
strenuous kicking with little success. 1t re-
quired a man with an income of 100000 or
over to give such private entertainments, and
there were only two or three of them who
could do it. Society was made up of people
who could get invitations to these private
entertainments, and, of course, the invitations
were dictated by personal and business con-
siderations, and refused out of motives of
spite, Jealousy or revenge The two or three
private families, who gave large private balls,
ruled society with a rod of iron, and there
was heart burning and indignation, toadying
and absurd adulation on all sides. The
subscription balls, Of course, did away with
this order of things. They not only rendered
unnecessary the giving of large private
entertainments, but made it to great extent
impossible. With thirty subscribers to a
ball, which in the course of very short time
became fifty subscribers, there were num-
Der Eof people working for the success of
single entertainment and with the success of
that entertainment at heart, where in the
case of private affair the responsibility of
success had to be shouldered. by host and
hostess. The Patriarch balls were success
from the beginning and large private enter
tainments have almost entirely disappeared.
Mr.. McAllister has taken the place Of the So
cial despot of fifteen or twenty years ago
and the result is certainly better for every
BODY concerned
