For the Common School.

The Pennsylvania Changers do not agree
with King William of Germany that educa-
ton is bad thing for the people. Neither
do we, and therefore we agree with all our
might to the proposition that the State
shall double It's appropriation to the
common schools. The appropriation of
"a, 00O, 900 to the schools, instead of the
s., 600, 900 now appropriated, would relieve
the local taxation to just this extent, and
local taxation is the most burdensome up
on every community. Practically there is
no State taxation, the bulk of it coming
from corporations, licenses, collateral in
heritanees, and fees for commissions.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-two will
wipe out nearly the entire debt of the
State, and unless some such disposition is
made of the immense revenue it will only
prove source of corruption and extrava-
gance injurious to the morals of thepeople.
1t is true new Capitol building is needed,
but this ought not to cost at the utmost
limit more than $5,OO0,0 900. and as it
would take four or five years to complete
it, it would not require much more than
81, 600, 900 in each year. 1t will be neces
sary, therefore, either to decrease the
revenue, or provide for its proper dis
tribution, and what better distribution can
be made than giving it to the schoolsf
Let the Changers agitate the question:
They will find many who are not Changers

dying Like a Man. !"

Beatric Cenei was golden haired, deli.
cate blonde. Lucretia Borgia was creature
so slight and weak, it is said, that a strong
man could have crushed her with his hands.
The ideal Judith, saving off the head of
Holofernes, would be slender, pale
blonde, with gentle blue eyes and rosy
mouth, and at first glance ere ature who
could not hurt fly.
just such slim, delicate, graceful,
golden haired giIl was Eleanor Pearcey,
who was hanged in London the other day
for numbering Mrs. Hogg and child.
Eleanor Pearcy was so modest and grace
full that she even impressed the Judge at
her trial. She had the most innocent,
trustful face and large, lustrous eyes-a
beautiful girl. Yet she flew into passion
of rage and fury, and committed one of
the most fiendish murders in history. At
her trial she maintained the calmest DOS
sibie demeanor. She knew from the time
of her sentence that there was no hope for
her, and simply announced to the prison
attendants that they would find she would
''die like man."
During all her Imprisonment she be-
haved in Il most courteous, high bred
manner, being considerate and gracious
to all around her, never once losing her
extraordinary composure. Such nerve and
GOODNESS have seldom been witnessed in
any eondemed prisoner. Upon the scaf-
fold, to her last breath, she maintained the
same ladylike composure, and went to her
death without sigh, sob or moan, dying
indeed '1ike a man.

Starting Seed by Electricity.

1t appears from the results of series OF
experiments recently undertaken in Russia
by n. Specnew that electricity may event
ually be made to play a prominent part in
agriculture. These experiments, which
extended over five years, showed that by
submitting different seeds to the action of
an electric current their development is
rendered more rapid and complete. The
seeds of haricot beans, sunfowers, winter
and spring rye were used. A second series
of experiments was made with pot herbs
and Towering plants at Kief. The infu-
ence of the electrical treatment was shown
by larger crop and by the growth OF
vegetables of enormous dimensions. In
third series of experiments electricity on a
large scale was applied, static electricity
being used instead of current electricity.
The results were quickensd ripening and
larger growth. Barley ripened twelve
days sooner with electro culture. Potatoes
treated in the same way seldom showed
disease, to percent. being bad, instead
of 10 to 40, which is the usual percentage.
An important factor in this treatment is
that vines which have been subjected to it
possess immunity from phylloxera. and
this points to new means of combating
the microscopic diseases which attack
vegetable growth. 1t is suggested as a
weapon with which to fight the potato bug
and the army bug. The cost of the pro-
cess is exceedingly small.-Chicago Neus.

Game for Winter Evenings.

The spelling game is a popular amuse-
ment for winter evenings Each player is
provided with pencil and slip of paper
and the person having charge of the game
sits where clock or watch may be readily
consulted. A word is then selected and
announced, long one containing num-
Der of vowels being preferable. This word
is written at the top of each paper, and at
given time each Of the players begins to
write down as many words as he can think
OF which commence with the letters of
which that word is composed, each letter
being used only as often as it occurs in the
word selected. At the end of three min
utes the leader calls "time, and each per-
son reads aloud the words on his slip and
sets the number of them down in numerals.
When ones writes word that contains a
letter or letters not in the original word, he
loses two marks, which he must set down
against himself; and if anyone has words
which no one else has thought OF, he is al
lowed to take two credits for each. After
the words have all been read, the next
letter of the original word is taken as the
initial for a new set of words, and when
these have been treated like the others the
next letter is taken and so on until all have
been used.
Take, for example, the word aristocratic-
Beginning with the letter will be found
the words art, artist, air arctic, soria, at,
attic, acts, acto; etc. These having been
read and the debit and credit marks set
down, new set of words beginning with
are written, such as rot, rota, etc. When
letter occurs twice or oftener in the word,
it is used but once as an initial. The play
er who has been able to remember the
fewest words, or who has made the most
errors in the original word, is sentenced to
pay forfeit by the one who has the most
credit marks. This game not only affords
considerable amusement, but it also serves
as an excellent drill for those who are not
well up in spelling.

Here is an item that should be pasted
in the hats of our Councilmen. Annually
scores of our people are notified to repair

Mary Readily fell and broke her arm.
Mrs. Readily brought suit against the bor-
ough and obtained judgment for 1912. The
case was taken to the supreme court and
Judge Rockefeller was sustained. The
supreme court took the ground that if the
person is notified to repaiD his pavement
and fails to do so, the council must compel
him to make the improvement or abide by
the results. The case will cost Shamokin

The Cars excuse for prosecuting the
Russian Jews seems in substance to be
that they know more than his Christian
subject aud must be kept under to pre-
vent them from gaining too much adyan-
tage. This is an eminently Asiatic policy
and emphasizes the old saying that "If
you scratch a Russian you find Tartar"
1t is a reason, also, far from creditable to
the Russians themselves, and amounts to
an admiss that, as people, the Chris
tians.of Russia are inferior to other nations
where Jew and Christian thrive, side by
side, each able to keep his place in the
grand march of life with due regard for the
rights of his fellow.
There was duel in Georgia town
couple of weeks ago. 1t was purely
local affair, weapons being shotguns, the
duel ground the public street, and no Sec

was brought before Coroner's jury, where
he swore it was fair fight and no advan-
tage taken, because they fired on stroke of
the town clock The jury rendered ver-
dict of accidental death" In event
of fatal result from French
duel this might have been
proper verdict. but we thought Georgians
too proud of their skill with firearms to
make such an excuse.

The Better Way.

The official hangman Of England says
thereis no neater way of taking murderer's
life than to hang him. If the knot is right
ly adjusted, the condemned man suffers no
pain whatever, and if he is rightly coach

exeeutioner to do perfect work. He says
