elusive occupancy of his wives and their
attendants. The word harem is Arabic
fer anything forbidden or not to be
touched. In Moslem law it is said to be
generally applied to such things as games
OF chance, draughts, chess, witchcraft,

made of material that no other paper
maker would use. Look, if you want to
see anything interesting, at the curious
wasps' and hornets dwellings. They
are not patented, though it would seem
as if they ought to be! And as for the
bee, he is true professor of geometry,
for he builds bis cell so scientifically,
that the smallest amount of material is
used in the largest spaces with the least
waste of room. It would almost seem
that nature was very partial to the num-

in the cells of the wasps and bees they

A touching story was told of Tamber-
lik, the tenor singer. Passing through
Madrid one bright spring morning, he
visited the bird market and bought every
bird in it. He ordered the cages to be
carried into the Plaza and opened. The
sunny air was filed with futtering
host, and from hundreds of tiny throats
burst songs of delight. Tamberlik looked
after them with tears of pleasure in his
eyes, crying, "Go, and be free, my
brothers!'
A similar story is told of kindly old
virginian, who used to celebrate the
Fourth of July by buying up all the
Gagged squirrels, rabbits and birds in the
neighborhood, and then setting them
free, that they, too, might rejoice in the
day of independence. The creatures to
whom he gave happiness are long since
dead, but the children who saw his
kindly act have carried its influence
through their hves.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Ohio Wesleyan University Conservatory and
under our immediate instruction in the
branch of piano. Her advancement has been
most desirable in every particular. Miss

for teaching. She also plays nicely and is a

the pipe organ for two years.

TAX LEVY CARRIED,
And a Correspondent WAKES Some
what "Wroth" Over General
Results.

Holgate, April 16, (Special)-The
question Of levying a tax on taxable
property for school building purposes
was again voted on Monday and carried
by snug majority. The voters were
required TO designate their preference
of location.
In taking an unbiased view of the
location subject, we say a sad mistake
was made in selecting the old site.
The surroundings are anything but fa-
vorable both as regards insurance and
sanitary, there being several barns and
houses Of refuse in close. proximity.
Then again, the ground is not large
enough for the size of the building the
board desires to erect and leave play
ground, which is very essential.
Some say that there will be an addi-
tional cost if any other than the old To-
cation be utilized. What if we do in-
vest few hundreds more in making
the change? The fact must be taken
into consideration tnat this building is
not a temporary affair-it is here for
lifetime and should be built on mod-
ern basis. Not only should the build-
ing bea commodious one with the la
test apparatus in heating etc., but
few paltry dollars should not stand in
the way Of suitable location for this
building in which we all have COM
mon interest. The location should be
prominent one-one that can be seen
by, and will make favorable impress
sion on transients. Five years hence
and voters Of "old location" will awake
to their folly.

R. c., good lift, as well as enjoy one of the
most pleasing entertainments that can be i'm
sgined. The entertainment will be concert
consisting wholly of war songs. such as ina
spired the boys when they enlisted, inspired
them to greater deeds of value and endurance
in camp, and on the march and even in battle.
Such pieces as "John Browns Soul is march
ing on, ""Battle Cry of Freedom" Rally
round the Flag Boys, ""When Johnnie Comes
Marching Home, -" Tramp, Tramp "Old
Folks at Home" and Marching Through
Georgia" will be given in such way that Old
Camp under Billie will be very apt to ap-
pear before it is through.
The music ID under the direction of Miss
Higgins, one of our most talented musicians.
The solos will be sung by our best singers and
the chorus rendered by as large chorus as it
is possible to obtain.
The entertainment is under the direct
supervision of Mrs. E. M. Hague, chairman
of the committee.
