NORMAL. school. NOTES.

At recent meeting of the trustees of the
Normal School it was decided to paper the
students rooms, and to decorate also the
ceiling and side walls of the chapel, the
dining-r room and the new library. Paper
hangers are already at work in the rooms
on the north side, and we imagine when
the boys come back this fall aud walk into
handsomely decorated room, with an
eighteen inch fresco border, containing
new furniture, and spring mattress on
the bed, they'll be somewhat astonished.
The Bloomsbury Normal School has al
ways had the advantage of many of its
sister schools in being situated on an eleva-
tion surrounded by some of the prettiesi
scenery in Eastern Pennsylvania. Add to
this fact its beautiful grou nds, Its natural
grove, Its handsome new wing, its long
piazza OF 10 feet, along the river front
and the beautiful inside decorations, anG
1t would be hard to imagine anything sup
erior.
The school is TO be congratulated OIL
| having board Of trustees that under
stands 80 well the needs of great insiitu
tion of learning. They not only TAX
pride in adding to the beauty and comfor
of the grounds and buildings, but they ar
equally proud to keep the school In tn
lead in other respects.

for next year will be the manual trainin

Peking is 18 miles inland from Tung Cho
and is 80 large, and spread over such en-
extent of territory that the distances one
goes from place to place are very tiresome.
The streets are five or six times as wide as
those Of Tung Cho and are thronged all
day long with passengers, donkeys, men
carrying burdens, and more than all with
one-mule carts, which are used almost
solely for going from one part Of the city
to another. They have no springs and but
two wheels, are use by all classes of peo-
pie foreign and native. There are very
very few sedan chairs used, some foreign
ers have sort Of dog cart for going about
in. never saw such handsomely dressed
Chinese, nor 80 many Of them, almost
every other cart containing some gaily
dressed, much powdered and painted and
flower adorned young woman or girl
or the more quietly but fully as richly
dressed older woman or Mandarin. What
strikes us most is the very large number
Of women and girls with unbound feet,
as the Tartar or Manchu women never
| bind their feet; at Tung Cho we rarely saw
Tartar woman, and girl with unbound
feet Is marked out at once as Christian
from one of.our schools; here Of course it is
much easier to get the girls to unbind their
feet and most missionaries require it fol-
admission to the schools. Peking is with.
out exception the dustiest, dIrtiest place
ever Imagined. Tung Cho is cleanliness
itself in comparison. When invited out by
destination our faces, hands and necks art
black from the dust, which is of very
dark color; men and women, among tn,
foreigners, all wear busters made OF Pom
gee silk and take an extra handkerchie
along to wipe their faces, ears and necl
with. This seems grand place for medi
cal work, one Mission (Presbyterlan) al
ready has Drs. Atterburg and Taylor TO

saries with about 10000 patients and DR.

To the Taxpayers and voters of
Col. Co.

Statement showing the expenses, in.
debtness and financial standing of
Columbia county for each year from
1876, the year before the Jail was
built until the present year. BY the
following table which is correct list
taken from the records of the Court
House, il will be seen that 1888 the
year the present board of commission
ers came in office was the first year
the county was relieved of its indebt
edness since before the new Jail was
built. The expenses of the county for
the last two years have been less than
any year except one since 1876, not
withstanding the fact of the late flood,
and that six new bridges were built
and paid for.

Pensions! Veterans /! !
The Disability Pension Bill.

Act Of June 81, 1890, grants pensions to
all ex-soldiers and sailors who served 90
days or more in the Army or Navy during
the rebellion, and were honorably discharg-
ed, and who are now suffering from any
permanent, mental or physical disability
contracted since the war or during the war
whether from disease, injuries or effects Of
old age, at the rate OF from 80 to $l2 per
month, according to the degree of his dis
ability for the performance OF labor requir-
ing the exertion of physical strength /;
provided the disability is not due to Yici-
GUS habits. This pension is not restricted
| to the veterans who have to make their
living by hard labor, but is equally due to
| professional men or clerks, provided they
have an existing disability which would
prevent the continuous exercise OF the
| physical strength Of an able-bodied man.
Those who have applied under the gen.
eral laws and who are unable TO prove up
the pending claim can apply for and Sc
cure this pension and then continue the
prosecution of the former claim and secure
their arrears.
| II YOU are now drawing a small pension,
say 50 or "a per month, you can take this
pension instead, and if you have an appli-
cation on file for increase or additional
pension for new disabilities you can con-
| tinue the prosecution of such claims while
drawing the new pension, or you can file
an original claim for disability contract
ed in the service while drawing pension
under this new act.
Widows, children, and dependent moth.
ers and fathers are entitled under this acl

The wonder is to find it at 7c.
Good for service, safe to wash,
heavy enough for careless wear

enough for any Gingham turn
