THE DUTY OF THE PEOPLE UNDEF
THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

An experienced legislator and
promine nt friend of education and
of many other good causes, calls at
tention, in the columns of the
Woodstock Standard, to the grave
responsibility which rests upon the
voters, under the new school law.
We copy his communication and
ask for his suggestions the serious
heed which their Importance de-
mands. AS pointed out by the
writer name if he had chos-
en- to give it would have added
weight to his article-the success or
failure of the new plan depends in
great measure upon the county
supervisors. If the right men are
put in these places, we shall soon
see, under their watchful and intelli-
gent supervision, marked improve
ment in the schools. If these super,
visorships are filled with inefficient,
cratic or inexperienced men, the
whole scheme will fail. The super
visor should be a man of education,
of public spirit and of enthusiasm.
He should command the respect and
confidence of the teachers and of
the community, and have force of
character enough to make himself
felt for good, and tact enough not
to attempt impossibilities. 1t should
be no reason for selecting man as
supervisor that he wants the office.
Unfit men for the position are not
unlikely to present themselves.
These should be set on ore side and
the best man in the county for the
place should be chosen.
AS the supervisors will be elected
by the county boards of education,
it is all important that the towns
should choose first rate men for mem.
bers of the board. The tendency
will be strong to elect a county
supervisor from among the members
of the electing board. If county
board of education contains the
right man, this will be all right; but
the board should beware how they
limit themselves to a choice from
their own number. They ought, as
we have said, to take the best man
that can be got for the place, in the
county, wherever they can find him.
We trust the people will realize
their own responsibility. This is
their matter, the schools are for
them and their children, and it is
for them to say, by their action
whether the new method shall be :
success or whether it shall be time
thought and money wasted.-Fret

RURAL HEALTH IN WINTER.

In spite of the crowded popula-
ton, the nervous strain and other
we'll known disadvantages of city
life, inhabitants of rural towns are
not apt to pass the winter with such
great exclusion from illness as one
might expect from their surround
ings. One reason worth notice is
the dislike of the average farmer for
fresh air inside his house. The liv-
ing room is almost as close as a seal
ed box throughout the cold weather,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE TO
TIL" HERALD.")

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2Sth.
Senator Allison who has three
times refused the invitation of Gen.
Harrison to enter the Cabinet as
Secretary of the Treasury, has now
gone to Indianapolis to finally settle
the matter. The trip was very sud
den and a great surprise to Mr..
Allison's friends, and was only TAX
en- because General Harrison refus-
ed to accept the written destinations
sent him by Mr.. Allison,and because
he has fully made up his mind that
he wants that gentleman to set the
financial pace for his administration.
Another reason given for the trip
is that an intimation was given Mr..
Allison that unless he accepted the
position rendered him, Iowa would
have no representation in the Cab
met. Z. S. Clarkson, whom it is
said Mr.. Allison has been DESTROYS
of having in the Cabinet as Iowa's
representative, with several other
prominent Iowa Republicans, is ex-
pected to meet Mr.. Allison at
Indianapolis, and some arrangement
will be definitely made.
Senator Sherman is working ener-
getically for his bill prohibiting
trusts, and confidently expects its
early passage by the Senate. 1t
would probably have passed last
week when it was up for considera-
ton, If the Senator from Ohio had
not, in Difference to the requests of
number of Senators, agreed to
have it laid aside temporarily to
take up an appropriation bill. In
giving way Mr.. Sherman took
occasion to say that he would do so
no more, and that when his bill next
came up he should insist upon its
disposal.
The Senate tariff bill has been
sent to the House and referred to
the Committee on Ways and Means,
and contrary to general opinion a
few days ago, it now looks as if
some legislation on this subject will
be gotten through at the present
session. The. Democrats of the
Ways and Means Committee have
given their pledges publicly to re-
port the bill to the House at the
earliest time possible, and if the
House agrees to the appointment
of conferees, as asked for by tn.
Senate, some sort of compromise il
expected to be reached that viii
result in large reduction in the
surplus revenues. The tobacco ia,
is almost certain to be greatly re
duced, if not altogether abolished
In fact this tobacco business, is a
the bottom of the change of tactics
on the part of the Democrats. A
number of members from the
tobacco States announced that il
they could get relief in no other
way they proposed to join the Re
publicans and adopt the Senate bill
in its entirety.
Many conservative people he {
believe that Secretary Bayard's
bunglipg methods have put US il

HOW TO BE HAPPY.
Many Reasons Why We Should Take Life
EASY and Not Worry

Easy and Not Worry,
II you want good appetite, don't worry.
If you want healthy body, don't worry.
Ii you want things to go right in your
homes or your business, don't worry.
Women find a sea of trouble in their house
keeping. Some one says they often put as
much worry and anxiety into a loaf of
bread, pie or a cake, into the weekly
washing and ironing, as should suffice for
much weightier matters This accounts
largely for the angular1ty of American
women. Nervousness, according to the
American Artisan, is the bane of the Amer
lean race. 1t IS not confined to the women.
by any means, but extends to the men as
We'll Even business men are sometimes
afflicted, so we have heard, and SO our ad-
vice not to yield to this habit will be most
kindly received by all classes of readers.
What good does fretting dol
1t only increases with indulgence, like
anger, or appetite, or love, or any other
human impulse. 1t deranges ones temper,
excites unpleasant feelings towards every
body, and confuses the mind. 1t affects the
whole person, units one for the proper
completion OF the work whose tri1ing inter-
ruption or disturbance started the fretful
fit Suppose these things go wrong to-day,
the to-morrows are coming in which to try
again, and the thing is not worth clouding
your own spirit and those around you, in
juring yourself and them physically-for
the mind affects the body and for such
tribe. Strive to cultivate spirit of pa
thence, both for your own good and the
good of those about you. You will never
regret the step, for it will not only add to
your own happiness, but the example of
your conduct will affect those with whom
you associate, and in whom you are inter-
ested. Suppose somebody makes a mis-
take, suppose you are crossed, or a trif1ing
accident occurs; to fly into fretful mood
will not mend, but help to hinder the at
tainment of what you wish. Then, when
thing is beyond repair, waste no useless re-
grets over 1t, and do no idle fretting Strive
for that serenity of spirit that viii enable
you to make the best of all things That
means contentment IN its best sense; and
contentment is the only true happiness of
life Apleasant disposition and good work
will make the whole surroundings ring
with cheerfulness.

DOG EATING DOG.
The Remarkable SeIf-POssessiOn of a Chi
caRo Newspaper Man.

The Remarkable SeIf-POssessiOn of a Chi
cage Newspaper Man.
A married woman attended a party at
the home of a friend where they keep one
Of those roguish little pets, pug dog. She
related to Chicago Mail man the follow
ing story, in which Young man who is
connected with morning paper in Chicago
and the pug dog were mixed up, and said
she did not know which one the joke was
on, and would leave it to me. The young
man was detained at the Office until it was
too late to go to his home for dinner and get
to the house where he was invited in season.
He therefore stopped into convenient
restaurant and bought some Frankfort
sausages, which he crammed into the
tail pockets of his Prince Albert coat, in
tending to eat them on the way No
sooner had he left the restaurant than
he met gentleman who was on his
way to the same party and accompanied
him. This, of course, gave him no op-
portunity to eat his lunch, and he went
TO the house with the sausages in his
pocket. There he was doomed to more dis
appointment, for the pug dog, in wonder
fully short time, caught the scent and fol-
lowed him about whenever he m6ved, sniff
ing at his coat tails and giving an occa-
sional bark This attracted more or less
attention. Presently the young man, who,
by the way, is musical, was asked to per-
form on the piano. He declined, knowing
of the danger he would be subjected to, but
without avail When he sat on the piano
stool he could not do otherwise than let his
coat-tails hang down behind While he
played the dog got in his work, and soon
had the sausages strung out on the floor
and was chewing vigorously at them. Amid
roar of laughter the newspaper chap
played on coolly, and even repeated a part
of the piece until the noise had somewhat
subsidized. Then he arose, turned around,
locked calmly at the dog gnawing at and
swallowing the sausages, and said: my
friends, this is a case of dog eat dog"

TALES OF ANIMALS.
An Intellectual Yankee Cat and an Astuts
Old Crow.

An Intellectual Yankee Cat and an Astute
Old Crow.
Several years ago, writes correspondent
OF the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, we had a cat
we all thought a great deal of, but she was a
little more reserved In the bestowal of her
affections. She seemed to care for no one
very much, except for my eldest daughter
and myself, and if man or boy came into
the house she would leave immediately.
The summer that l speak of she had three
young kittens. When they were about two
weeks old was sitting in the cook-room one
day, when noticed the cat coming in, and
thought something was the matter with
her, but did not get up to ses. She went
and laid down under the stove, but was I'm
easy, and kept moving and looking out to-
ward us. l forgot 10 mention that one or
two men were also in the house, but pref
ty soon they went out, when she went Gi
rectly to her kittens, took one and carried
it TO my daughter, who exclaimed:
''What is the matter with pussyl"
Before had time to look she had brought
another 10 me, and as she laid it down she
looked at me and, making a most pitiful
noise, stretched out and died, and we fou nd
upon looking that she had been cut nearly
in two. She bad waited until the men left
the room, as il she was afraid of them, and
offspring the best she knew how, by bring
ing them to those she loved, and the look
on her face was as earnest an appeal as a
human coultenance could have expressed.
One of tbs children had, year ago this
summer, a tame crow which showed great
deal of shrewdness, or sense, or reason,
whichever you choose 70 call it. They kept
him out in the orchard near an old lounge
that was placed under the trees, and there
was just room enough for his little body to
get under it. When they first had him out
there the hens would get nearly all the
food, and he, being afraid of them, would
hop of under the lounge and scold away at
them; but after day or two he would be-
gin just as soon as his food was brought 20
MIN TO carry it down under the lounge.
He would not stop to eat mouthfuI until
he had got it all wen out OF reach, and then
when the hens came around he would sit
there and take mouthful and then chuckle
and chatter and seem TO enjoy his meals ali
the better because the hens had 10 stand
round aud look at him, but couldn't get any
