ALLEN co. TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

land and Ed T Barber. Aside from
the number of teachers present, were
several visitors who were interested in
the work of the profession. Visitors
are always welcome, and the face of
Mrs. Swartman, Of Independence, is
almost rs familiar to the persons who
attend this association as that of any
teacher in the county.
Prof. Estey, As chairman, called the
house to order and announced the first
paper Eminent Women of the Day."
to be discussed by Prof. whitehill, this
was followed by an able discussion by
Miss Lola SmeltEer. These two papers
were exceedingly Interesting and their
authors deserve great credit for their
production, when it is remembered
that they were prepared in less than
weeks time, because the parties ap.
pointed by the executive committee
being unable to be present..
Seth Bartlett then opened the dis
cussion Of the subject, "The Teachers
Work Outside the Schoolroom, In
which he said, "The teacher should
endeavor while out of the school room
to lay aside school cares and thus rest
up ready for the next days work. I
want it understood that, although I
was raised between the corn rows, I am
no pumpkin, but most of my time out
side Of the school room lie put in at
feeding cattle and caring for mystock."
Prof. Whitehill said, "Our work out.
side the school room should not be ex.
clusively routine work az that 10 not
best for Us nor the school," Prof.
Estey said, eve should strive in this
sort Of work to broaden our culture by
reading books that are not strictly pro-
fessional works. The books we read
Measure our growth and this 10 q part
of the teacher's work outside the
school room."
U. q. Land Surveys were then pre-
scented to the Association by J. F.

funny cases once in awhile, said Rep
resentative Kelly, of Lackawanna.
"A man who is somewhat distin-
guished in criminal annals as an expert
pickpocket once asked a friend OF
mine to take his case for him.
where's your money! inquired my
friend. 4 haven't got any, was the
reply. but if you'll promise to do the

About the place Of meeting In the matter Of
the assembling OF the correspondents and edi.

choice. We suggested Salem or Allen Center
because Of being near the center Of the county,

to say. Go ahead all OF you pencilshovers and

to say abut this matter?

scientific American.
From a scientific Dd.point, there
is no difference between q marble and
ordinary limestone or dolomite, the
rocks haying precisely the same com.
position and origin, but one possessing
such color and structural peculiarities
as render it desirable for ornamental
or decorative work, while the other
through the lack Of these same quail.
ties is relegated to the more ordinary
purposes Of general construction.
Generally speaking, we may say
that a marble is q limestone Tor dolo-
mite) that has undergone just the
right degree of metamorphism to de.
velop In it points of beauty, and rem
der it capable of receiving q smooth
surface and high polish. In many OF
the most beautiful marbles the meta.
morPhism has proceeded only so far as
to harden the stone without destroy
ing its fossil ~emains, while in others
these have been entirely obliterated
ana the rock become crystalline
throughout. Little as it seems to be
appreciated, it is this crystallizat ton
alone that renders 30 many of the
American marbles inferior to those of
the French Pyrennees, Italy. and
Northern Africa.
Nearly all our native stones of this
class are too coarsely crystalline This
not only renders the production of q
perfect surface difficult, but the cleav.
age faces reflect the light from below
the surface In such . way as to cause

its uniformity. However good the
color may be, . stone Of this nature
must always rank lower than one that

WORDS OF CHEER.

One Of the most potent factors in
bringing good times is wide spread
belief and feeling that good times are
coming. When it il the general opin.
ion that times are growing worse,
men holt on to their money, get all
they can and spend as little as they
can. But when it Is the common i'm.
preston that times the growing better.
men spend their money, launch out
more boldly In their business or put on
foot new enterprises. In other words
they make good times because they be.
lieye good times are coming.
In our last issue we reprinted col
umn or more of newspaper article and
interviews with prominent and we'll
posted business men, to show that
there is now abroad in the land very
general feeling that We are on the eve
of period Of great prosperity. This
feeling of itself. as stated above, would
be potent factor IN bringing about
such a period, even If no reasons could
be given to show that the feeling is
justified.
But the articles referred to give
many such reasons, and numerous
others may be pointed out. One of
these that will be of incalculable bene-
fiji to Kansas Is the large immigration
already practically assured. The
estate Immigration Bureau" has only
been organized q few weeks but it is
already flooded by letters of inquiry
from home seekers. II is now prepar.
ing, and within a short time will have
scattered thickly all through the east,
great quantities of advertising matter
that cannot fail to attract thousands.
The railroads have come to the aid of
the movement by making half fare
rates, and the largest immigration the
State has known for years is confident
ly anticipated. This means increased
trade and the addition of large sums of
money to the present volume.
Another reason IL the practical GER
tainty that cattle will advance in
price. Indeed that advance has al
ready begun, and the beneficial effects
are already felt. No sudden return to
old-time prices il expected, but the
generally admitted statement that the
supply has been seriously cut by
the forcing of females and young cat
tie upon the market. insures a steady
and continuous advance. And when
cattle 60 up they take hogs and corn
up with them.
There are yet two other things that
will bring confidence and stimulate
business as nothing else could: And
they are the passage of free silver COIN
age and service pension bills. True
these are still Gin the womb of the fn-
ture." But we have every confidence
that Congress will respond to the de-
mands of the people and pass both
measures before it sdjourns. With
money in such sums as the volume of
business July warrants and impera-
lively demands, and with it actively
circulated as it would be il paid out to
the ex-soldiers, it would be but short
time till the cry about hard times
would be forgotten song.
All of which meanr: Let rs keep o
stiff upper lip. Let US take courage.
There are streaks in the east which
show that dawn is approaching. Let
us look before us towar- the light. not
behind us into the darkness. We are
getting out Of the Slough Of Despond
The Delectable Mountains are not far
away.

OF the 100000 worth of marbles
annually produced in the United Stat.
es, more than one.half Isl 1850. 900
worth In round numbers) is from quar-
ries in Vermont, and the remainder
nearly altogether from Massachusetts,,
New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Tennessee. The material lie i'm.
ported to the value of about six hun
bred thousand dollars annually, the
supply coming largely from Italy,
though smaller amounts are brought
from France, Belgium, Portugal,
Egypt and Algeria.
The narrow belt of limestone from
which is obtained the supply of Yer.
mont marble extends from point be-
yond the Canadian linz throughout
the entire length Of the state, and
thence through Western Massachu-
sets and Connecticut to Long Island
Sound. Since early in the present
century numerous quarries have been
opened along this belt, but at the pres
ent writing the most extensive lie
within the limits of the little village
of West Rutland, cozily nesting
among the green hills of central Yer
mont. The quarries themselves, to
which the village owes its entire bust
ness prosperity. lie along the western
base of a low range of hills, which to
the ordinary observer give no sign of
the vast wealth of material concealed
beneath their gray and uninteresting
exteriors.
In the quarry, the stone is found In
layers from two to four feet in thick
ness, often notified and streaked, and
varying in color from pure white to
deep blue gray and almost black.
These layers instead of lying horizon
tally one upon another, are at the sur
face steeply inclined and almost on
edge, 80 that the same quarry at the
same time may be producing marbles
Of half q dozen grades of color aud
quality.
In quarrying, the best beds are Sc,
lected, and upon their upturned edges
excavation is commenced; first by
blasting, to remove the weathered and
worthless material, and afterwards by
channeling. drilling and wedging, no
powder being used lest the fine, mass.
i've blocks become shattered, and rem
dered unfit for use. The quarry thus
descends with almost perpendicular
walls to a depth of sometimes more
than two hundred feet, when the beds
are found to curve, and pass under the
hill.
In following them, the excavations
assume the appearance of vast artifici-
al caverns from whose smoke. blacken.
cd. gaping mouths one would little
suppose could be drawn the huge
blocks of snow-white material lying in
gigantic piles in the immediate Vi
cinity.
