Oh, liberty, thou art the god of my
idolatry Thou art tie only dicty
that hates the Bonded knee. In thy
vast and unveiled temple, beneath the
rooiiess dome, star gemmed and
luminous with suns, thy worshipers
stand erect They do not bow or
cringe, or crawl, or bend their heads
to the earths The dust has never
borne the impress OF their lips. Upon
thy sacred alters mothers do not
sacrifice their babes nor men their
rights. Thou asked not from men
except the things that good men hate,
the whip, the chain, the dungeon KEY.
Thou hast no kings, no popes, no
priests to stand between their fellow
men and thee. Thou hast no monks.
no nuns, who in the name Of duty
murder joy. Thou carest not for
forms or mumbled prayers. At thy
sacred shrine hpocracy does not bow.
Fear does not crouch, virtue does not
tremble, superstititions feeble tapers
do not burn; but reason holds aIoft
her inextinguishable torch, while on
the ever broadening brow of science
falls the ever coming morning of the
better day. --lngersoIl

There has been one draw back TO
the farming industry in Washington
county which has had much to do with
holding our county back and keeping
us far behind the times, and had it been
otherwise our state of prosperity would
likely have been far in advance of
what it is today. This is nothing
more or less than the lack of facilities
the farmer has had for disposing OF
the productions of his farm. How
many farmers are there around Weiser
who have previously felt the burden
OF this state state of affairs. Perhaps
he has been sorely in need CT a little
readymoney. He loads up his wagon
with nice sides of bacon and well cured
hams and shoulders-the product of
his farm and many days of hard,
honest toll. This commodity is worth
from twelve to sixteen cents per
pound, and he hopes, by offering it
low, to obtain little ready money
from the sale of it. He arrives in
town and the merchant says 'ff you
will take it, out in trade, will buy. :"
But the farmer says 81 don't want

STAMMERING A HABIT.

So Bad 10 It in Germany That They Have
Schools for Its Cure.
Meg YaE Pms.
One Of the most unique schools in this
CITY Ia that in which Prof. q. Herschfeld
teaches stammererB how to cure them
selves OF their misfortune. 1t has been
in existence now some five years at ma
residence, No. $40 West seyenty.second
street, and in that time nearly two hun
bred people have been made to speak
straight.
all !" said the Professor to reporter Of
the Pres. ST simply take a plain, ordi.
nary. everyday view of the matter. l
am a graduate Of German school, and
INV experience has amply proven that
stammering is simply q habit, a bad one,
II you will, but nothing more than o
habit. | do not say 1t because Of my POI
sition, but can cure anybody from
gtammerinq who will como to me for two
weeks with a bona fide intention o.
doing his best to overcome his failing"
"In this theory about stammertng be-
ing q habit you are running counter to
tho general opinion entertained in Ger
many?"
Eyes" he replied, ito the general
opinion, but not to the best opinion
| | would be far from rejecting on my
couutrymen, but when they spread the
! Impression that stammering is not mere
" not habit, but that 1t is contagious,
they are simply deceiving themselves.
Still, that they are alarmed to certain
extent is shown by the fact that STAN
mering is increasing to such a degree
that they have public schools for It's
cure which are attended by more than
eighty thousand pupils"
"Do you find any particular national
tiles partial to stammerinRY
81 cannot say that / do, but now that
l remember cannot recall single Rus
sian who is stammerer, nor do l have
many Poles among my pupils. Thia
habit OF lisping, which some eilly people
believe Is quite au fat, predisposes one
TO stammering. You will find stammer-
ing moro prevalent among people OF a
phlegmatic temperament and in nations
that have nothing else to do than try
experiments with language. Character
in people as q whole has good deal 70
do with the habit. Where you find
men and women with plenty OF work
you don't find many stammerers, and
where you do find them, as l have, you
have people of resolution to deal with
and can effect q cure. have met no
man or woman in this city who cannot
cure Themselves"

STATE nIanufactm Of school Books.

Last winter there was a spirited battle
in the Legislature over school books
The advance guard Of the movement
az ainst the present system and the
books now in use urged the adoption Of
the Indiana books, about as inferior a
lilo; Of Anticipated rubbish as the mind oil
the ingenious speculator could devise
| Agents Of the Indiana concern were on
hand to scatter sweetness and light
without stint, and there was DISPOSE
ton to regard them as public beneiac'
tors.
Back of this fiimsy scheme was the
real thing. The State was to be lured
into the manufacture Of its school books
1t was to bpy manuscripts or have them
prepared, which proposition opened a
bright prospect for the youth OF West
Virginia. The manuscripts being &C.
cepted, the State was to rush them into
the hopper and turn out the completed
school book.
This scheme was not openly evowed.
In fact it was strenuously denied, but
| it was there nevertheless. It stalked in
the Hobbies; it sat in the seats of mem-
beers and pulled at their button holes;
it worked its way under some cloaks of
great respecsability.
1t ia fair to say that it thoroughly de.
ceived some honest and well-meauiug
men. If private publishers could fur
nish the books at profit, as they must
do or they would not furnish them at
all, why not the State, which could hand
that profit over to the patrons OF the
public schools2 The example of Cali.
iornia was held up for the emulation Of
West Virginia.
The scheme is on again this winter.
The Indications arc that with very little
encouragement 1t will be worked as in.
dus!riously as before. It may again de-
ceiye mon whose first thought is for the
interest Of the State and the welfare Of
the schools. The example and expert
encs OF California may be less dwelt on
now, for Caliiornians have been doing
some talking on the subject.
The San Francisco Call Of January 2,
1891, reviews the question at length. In
