A man is responsible for not knowing
what he might have known. This will
fix dreadful responsibility on some of
us. We will not be allowed to plead that
we did not know better when ne neg
lected the opportunity to gain such
knowledge. When an opportunity once
passes it is gone forever. Another may
come just like the one past, but it will
not be the same opportunity. The young
do not fully appreciate this, but they
might be taught to realize it nearer than
they do. Parents fail to seize the pass.

they fail to supply their children with

We would urge the patrons OF all the
schools to put their school houses in good
repair, so that the children and teachers
will be comfortable. Also make your
arrangements for teachers. Do not wait
and just take anybody, but go to work
and secure good teacher just as any bu-
siness man would secure a good clerk,
salesman, book-keeper, &c. It is a most
important business with parents to en-
gage teacher. Do not deal carelessly
and loosely with the training and edu-
cation of your children. Be exceedingly
careful in reference to their training.
Trust not their future life to just any
body. Protect their training with jeal.

Church, and God requires this of you.

4 Convention OF Farmers.

ST.. LOUIS, August 1S.-The executive
committee appointed by the Fort Worth
Farmers Alliance convention, with us.
Hail, president of the Missouri Alliance,
as chairman, has issued circular to the
members of the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union and of the farmers and
laborers of the United States, calling q
convention of the members of those bod
les who are in accord with the resolu-
tions passed at the Fort Worth meeting.
The convention will be held in ST. Louis
on Sept. 18th next at a period when tall
festivities are In full blast, streets illu-
minated, exposition wide open, and the
fair only a few weeks distant. Nearly
all the railroads have agreed to make re.
duced rates for the convention. The

ers to vote against all schemes that
would make loan establishment of the
United States Treasury. The circular
concludes as follows:
"This meeting will be protest on
part of lovers of the constitution of
the Alliance against seeing that organi-
zation prostituted by body Of men who
have no interest in farming and whose
love for the organization is limited by
the amount of personal gain they can
get out of it. This is an effort on the
part of conservative members and real
farmers of the order to emancipate the
Farmers Alliance from the control of
scheming politicians and designing dem.
agogues. That We will succeed in this
effort we entertain no doubt"

Some Familiar Ouotations.

Walpole, the prime minister of the
Georges, is misquoted in the expression,
Cali men have their price," He never
said SO, and entertained no such narrow
views of mankind. He was referring to
certain persons, and said, "All these
men have their price," money is
the root of all evil" is another misquoted
quotation, and wide deviation from
the truth. "The love of money is the
root of all evil'' is the correct quotation.
''Love me little, love me long" is a
household phrase sometimes supposed to
have originated with Charles Reade, be-
cause he wrote novel by that name.
Those who are familiar with the poets
know that the expression originated
with Christopher Marlowe, and is fcEad
in his slew Of Malta" It was after
ward given a new impetus by Robert
Herrick. k.-Philadelp Ledger.

When Sleep Is Labor.

Wonder if many people think of the
snnny side of night watchman's life?
An employee of the Broadway Cable
Railroad company was overheard dis
cussing it as follows: sit isn't so un-
pleasant loafng around here in the street
these nice evenings. It's trying to sleep
during the hot days that makes fellow
thin 1t isn't half so hard on man to
have to work all day in the hot sun as it
is to have to sleep during the same hot
day, or get no sleep at all.
"The night watchman is always a
poor man, living in small space, and
often with several children. My young
sters begin to find their legs and voices
just about the time l want to go to
sleep. You can't keep them still. They
are in and out and whooping it up and
down until I'm nearly crazy. Some.
times get but two, three, four or five
hours sleep. If can catch six once in
awhile I'm in luck. But man must
live, and to live he must work or steal.

Teddy Was Surprised.


Teddy, a little three-year-old, was one
day following his father about the farm,
when he saw terrapin for the first
time.
"Oh, papa" he called, "come and help
me catch the bug with shell on his
back"
"Just cut his head off," his father re-
piled, land you have him."
Teddy excitedly hammered away, but
the terrapin, after the manner of his
kind, scenting danger near, drew in his
head.

ther.

fellow; she has swallowed his headr'-

D,nbtheria raken from a kitten.

P. G. Coleman, of Colorado, Tex,
states that after residence Of five years
at Colorado he saw the first case of diph-
liberia. A child of four years, living
thirty miles distant in the country, and
with no neighbor within six miles, had
diphtheria, followed by paralysis. The
child was far away from any source of
human contagion and had rarely seen
other children. The father stated that
two kittens had recently died from what
seemed to be the same disease, and the
child had frequently kissed them. DR..
Coleman does not doubt that the diph-
liberia was contracted from them.-Dr.

A Bridge pullt of Old Iron.

Crossing the Pequabuck river on South
Main street in Terryville there has Just
been completed an iron bridge, which is
unique in design and worth the atten-
ton of town officials throughout the
state, as it is the only one of the kind
known TO be in existence. With the ex-
ception of the plank flooring and few
comparatively small castings. the bridge
is made entirely of old railroad iron. 1t
is truss bridge, having span of 10
feet The roadway is 80 feet wide, and
broad, the whole surface being covered
with concrete.
The bridge rests upon stone abut-
ments on each of which an iron rail
rests and forms the ''mudsills." Upon
these the strings" which are also old
iron rails, are laid. OF these there are
fifteen in this bridge, as they are placed
at equal distances of 21 feet apart. An
other rod or spindle" across the center,
under and at right angles with the
stringers, is supported by iron rods de-
pending from the trusses, which also
support the bridge.
Each of the trusses is formed by two
rails, the ends of which are fitted into
solid iron castings made of especial
shape to receive them, and meeting at
the center of the bridge are also held to-
gether by similar castings, through which
the iron rod extends, and braces extend
ing ON either side to the end of the spindle
give strength as well as rigidity to the
structure. Heavy plank covered with
a concrete pavement forms the floor of
the structure.
The idea of using old railroad iron for
town bridges was conceived by Jason 9.
Fem, of the board of selectmen, who
built the first one of this character three
years ago and has designed and con-
structed several more since that time, in
each of which he has made improve
ments The one just finished, under his
personal supervision, is the most perfect
and combines beauty, strength and
cheapness. It is believed that these
bridges can be built at no greater cost
than substantial wooden bridges and
their durability is of course much
greater. Hartford Courant.

Philadelphia Men Revolt Against Women.
There is determined movement on
foot among the masculine population of
Philadelphia against the promiscuous
surrendering of seats in public convey
ances to strange women. A call will
shortly be issued for mass meeting to
take some definite steps in the matter.
This is not because our male popula-
ton is growing less courteous, nor our
female population more discourteous,
but simply because the custom has grown
so common among Philadelphians that
women do not appreciate the sacrifice
which a man, who has probably been
working hard all day, makes in giving
his seat in car to woman, who, in
nine cases out of ten, not only neglects
to thank him for it, but by act, if not
by word demands the homage. The
custom is peculiarly a Philadelphian one.
In no other city is it observed to the ex-
tent that it is in the Quaker City.
A man who travels considerably, and
who voices the sentiment of thousands
of Philadelphians, said yesterday, "While
| do not wish to be considered lacking
in courtesy, have seen enough to dis
gust me with the practice, and now
only give my seat to an elderly woman
or woman with a baby, or in such
cases where courtesy really demands it. y
