PLACE IS THE HEARrHsToNE

A holy place is the hearthstone,
Where loved ones are gathered round,
Where mothers, sires and sisters dear
And brothers and friends are found.
A holy place is the hearthstone,
Homes innermost shrine is there,
Laden with blessed benson
And hallowed by loving prayer.
A holy place is the hearthstone;
What clustering joys abide
Where the cradle of cur infancy
Was rocked by a mothers side.
A holy place is the hearthstone,
Where childhoOd's pattering feet
Go glancing in shade and sunshine
To the music of pleasures beat.
A holy place is the hearthstone.
Where the youth have wooed and won
And wed and gone to the battle
OF life with full armor on.
A holy place is the hearthstone,
Where manhood has settled down
With blessings poisoning round him,
And love for priceless crown.
A holy place is the hearthstone,
Whence the old and young have gone
To rest from their weary labor
When the battle of life was done.
And oh, from the holy hearthstone,
WhSn parted from those we love,
May we go to meet by the hearthstone
OF our Fathers house abovel

The tendency in many cities and towns
TO the system of ''inbreeding" in the
selection of teachers is one that needs
careful watching. On the plan of pro
lection to home industries some boards
of education have such regulations as
practically debar teachers of high pro
fessional skill from entering their ser
ice. This ''inbreeding" has in some
places got so close that school trust
prefer to appoint to vacancy only
teachers as have been graduated
the school or live in the ward. In,
to have been graduated from parns
lar school is a peculiar merit, very he
full toward getting an appointment. AZ
Mr.. A. w. Edison, agent of the MasS
chusetts state board of education, III o
report to the state superintendent, c. 4
demned the practice very strongly
the following quotation shows: "One -
the discouraging features, and g
drawback to the best of work, is III;
custom too rigidly followed of utllizl ~
home talent for teachers. To be SUI,
many of our best teachers live in to-
towns or cities where they teach, bIr7,
the policy that gives the girls at home :
monopoly of the schools, and ignor'
competition from outside, is bad, even
vicious. 1t discourges thorough scholar
ship and professional training, tends to
favoritism and low wages and prevents
the discharge of poor teachers.
eff teacher can obtain a position
through political or personal influence,
rather than professional ability, she can
retain it in spite of poor work. Too Of
ten it would appear that the schools are
for the teachers, not the teachers for the
schools. When a superintendent or com
mittee feels that public sentiment will
support him in selecting the best teach
ers to be had for the salary offered,
wherever they may be found, the schools
are sure to rank high. Teacher.

Queer Face characterization.

At any time from 16 to % years of age
the male Esquimaux have their lower
lips pierced under each corner of the
mouth for labrets. When the incision
is first made sharp pointed pieces of
ivory are put in.
After the wound heals the hole is grad
ually stretched to half an inch in diane
ter. Some of the poorer natives wear
labrets made from camel coal, ivory,
common gravel and glass shoppers OBJ
tanned from ships, which they shape for
the purpose. All who can obtain them
have agate ones.-Washington Letter.

American Song Writers.

The most successful of all living popu-
lar song writers-that is, those who have
made the greatest number of pronounced
hitS-are uaqUestionably VIII S. HAYS
and Dave Hraham. The former is
journalist, having been the river editor
of The Louisville CoUrier-Journal for
several years past. He has probably
written a greater number of songs which
have become universally popular than
any other composer, except Stephen C.
Foster. He first became generally
known through his Write Me Letter
From Home" which was sung from one
end of the United States to the other.
This he followed up in rapid succession
with I'VE Parted by the River Side"
Beautiful Dreamer" Nora O'Neil,"
"DLollie Darling" and Driven From
Home" OF every one of these songs
more than 100000 copies were sold,
while "Mollie Darling had a sale of
more than 800, 600, making a fortune for
its publisher, j. L. Peters. OF minor
successes, any one of which would have
been glorious triumph for a less for
tunate composer, Mr.. Hays has made
host. Prominent among these are "Ill
Remember You, Love, in My Prayers"
1.-The Moon Is Out Tonight, Love-" and
"Genevieve." The last named must not
be COMPOUNDED with Sweet Genevieve,"
an entirely different song, written by S.
G. Tucker.-G. w. Christine in Chicago

Albuquerque Citizen; A very unfortu- nate affair occurred at Winslow, Ariz., last Saturday, in which a machinist who lately arrived there met his death. It seems that for some time P. II. Mcclure, the well-known saloon man, had been keeping an old revolver behind his bar, which he and everybody else supposed was not loaded. On Saturday number of railroad men came into the saloon and one of them asked to see the gun. McGuire carefully examined it and then handed it out over the bar. Several of the railroad party handled the gun, then passed it back to McGuire, who, in a spirit of fun, aimed it at the machinist and pulled the trigger, when to the ut ter consternation of every one present the cartridge exploded and the poor ma chinist fell dead. A coroner's jury ex- onerated Mcclure.

There's good deal of guarantee busi- ness in the store keeping of to-day. It's too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half the time it means nothing. Words only words.
 This offer to refund tte money, or to pay reward, is made under the hope that you won't want your money back, and that you won't claim the reward. Of course.
 So, whoever is honest in making it, and works-not- on his own reputation alone, but through the local dealer, whom you know, must have something he has faith in back of the guarantee. The business wouldn't stand a year with out it.
 What is lacking is confidence. Back of that, what is lacking is that clear honesty which is above the average practice"
 Dr. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed to accomplish what they are intended to do, and their makers give the money back if the result isn't apparent.
 Doesn't it strike you that medicine, which the makers have so much conf- dence in, is the medicine for you?

Foster, Wiggins and other weather prognosticators keep up their reputation as true prophets, or rather the elements keep it up for them. We will have two or three days of warm, clear, spring-like weather, and then, without any note of warming or the slightest provocation, it will suddenly cloud-up, turn cold and either rain or snow.
The St. Johns herald., 1891-03-26

We would suggest to those who are using the acequia water fer drinking and domestic purposes, the advisability of taking immediate steps to have the river cleared of dead cattle for at least five miles south of town. Two or three men could do it one day, and it is claimed that running water purifes itself in that distance. This should be done and done at once on sanitary considerations.

 The farmers surrounding St. Johns have built dam about fifteen miles south of St. Johns, that will insure them all the water they want after this year. The reservoir which is created by this dam will be twenty-five deep on $40 acres and from three to six feet deep on about 5000 acres more. This reservoir is intended as fee Ter to the one abou t a mile south of town, which experience has proven does not impound sufficient water to meet the requirements of the land now under cultivation. It is said by those most experienced in such mat ters, that the increased supply of water guaranteed by this new enterprise, will enable the farmers in this vicinity to al- most double their present acreage, and insure an abundant and never failing supply of water. There are several oth- CT sites south of town which can, with a small outlay of money and muscle, be constructed into reservoirs that will hold sufficient water to irrigate twenty times the amount of land now under cultivation. The sites are so situate that natural channel permits of drop ping the water into the Little Colorado
