The impending danger

results flowing from the reunited and
rebuilded nation. The progress that
has been made in the United States
since the white flag of the rebel army
was run up in 1865 and peace declared,
has been 50 varied and so great in near
ly every department of knowledge and
every line of human skill, in the edu-
cation, elevation and better condition
of the people that he seems to be living
in a new world, amidst new creatures
and among people having advantages
never dreamed of in the days of his
youth, and who are in position to ac-
quire comforts in every day life that
were luxuries scarcely obtainable thirty
years ago.

a NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS

Now that the duty devolves again
upon the board of directors to select a
superintendent of the public schools in
Fairhaven it is hoped that they will
not act hastily nor without the fullest
information as to the fitness of the per-
son selected. The education of the
youth involves too grave responsible
ty to permit any reckless or ill-advised
action in selecting proper person to
place at the head of the schools. These
children ought to be educated so as to
acquire the elements requisite to good
American citizenship. When anarchy
and communism has been transplanted
from Europe into the United States to
such an extent, no person should be
placed at the head of any public
school in America who is not
wholly and fully in sympathy with
our form of government. A superin-
tendent of public school ought to be
more than a mere blackboard delnea-
tor or rehearser of text books. He
should have an individuality that
would aid in building character. He
should have an address and presence
that would inspire effort, induce cour-
tesy and demand integrity. In this
age respectable style and reasonable
polish are essentials in culture. A good
education with gruff manners or boor.
ish actions does not give the advantage
that the same education with polished
manners and discreet actions do. SO q
superintendent, having so much to dc
in casting the character of the pupil
and moulding his manners should be q
courteous, polished lady or gentleman
imbued with good common sense, pa
triotic instincts and American ideas, az
well as fitted In the branches to be
taught, with the faculty to impart tc
others his own requirements.

On Wednesday aud Thursday next
the Whatcom County Soldiers and
Sailors association has its annual meet
ing at New Whatcom. The manage
ment has made an effort to provide for
entertainment In the way of addresses,
Rotations and vocal and instrumental
music. The citizens of New Whatcom
provide the bareback, sowbelly and
other delicacies of camp life. The chief
pleasure, however, will be the meeting
and exchange Of greetings of the boys of
lS8l-65. They will retell their old
stories and recall their pleasures, preju-
dices, pains, hardships and heart-break-
ings Of thirty years ago. While these
old associations are agreeable in many
respects 1t is well for the veterans to
look over another aspect Of the war Of
the rebellion, and that is, the wondrous

The Antiquity of the Umbrella.

The antiquity of the umbrella is undis-
puted The Chinese, who in their lavish
notions Of antiquity credit their institu-
tons with centuries galore, think moth
ing of dating the first umbrella back to
1900 or 5000 years anterior to the Mo
sale date of creation. Many distin-
guished scholars have claimed to dis
cover in the Bible reference to the exist
ence of shield against sun and rain,
while the Sanscrit poets, writing when
Latin was young, are full Of illusions to
it. Various have been the speculations
as to the origin of the umbrella. Some
say that the introducing of leafy
branches into a sort of bower first
suggested it, as the fig leaf of Father
Adam gave the first mighty impulse to
the clothing trade. Others that the no.
madic tent was the only natural proto-
type Of what so strongly resembles it in
miniature.
In the Chaldaic sculptures of Nineveh
the umbrella is of frequent occurrence,
as shown by the excellent reproductions
of Layard, who wrote concerning it:
"The umbrella or parasol, that emblem
of royalty so universally adopted by
eastern nations, was generally carried
over the king in time of peace and some
times even IN war. In shape it resem-
bled very closely those in common use,
but it is always open in the sculptures.
1t was edged with tassels, and was usu-
ally ornamented at the top with flower
or some other ornament. "-Clothier and
Furnisher

The Democrats at their convention
yesterday at New Whatcom nominated
three Fairhaven gentlemen for places
on their ticket-C. V. Reid for repre-
sentative, Percy +. Smith for county
assessor, and p. G. Mccormack for
county commissioner. We are glad to
state that these gentlemen are good cit
liens and among the most reputable Of
their party. They are alive, wide

G. w. Albright, superintendent of
the public schools in Fairhaven, sub
mitted to the board of directors his
resignation yesterday morning. 1t has
not yet been accepted. Doubtless it
will be accepted at the next meeting of
the board. We are informed Mr.. Al
bright contemplates entering the min
istry, which no doubt furnishes the
cause for his resignation. We predict
a bright future for Mr. Albright in his
contemplated field of action.

The annual loss to American stomachs
from the adulteration of food in this
country is 81 100000. This does not in
clude the doctors bills and the loss of
time from illness caused by the irrita-
ton Of foreign substances in the human
insides, substances taken under the sup
position that they are food. Yet there
are people who object to the passage by
congress of stiff law against food adui-
teration. Some people are mean enough
for anything.

Suddenly there was loud squawkmg,

There is general concensus of opin-
ion that the Democratic convention
was conducted with but very little of
the combine spirit and with much more
fairness and less intrigue than usual in
the party. 1t has, however, developed
that the Eleventh street statesman,
who wanted to be prosecuting attorney
received a severe political fall. After
the delegate slate was fixed up for the
primaries in Fairhaven, containing the
name of Judge Maxwell, jealousy de-
veloped question as to the loyalty of
the judge to his promises and he was
wiped out in the interest of saloon
man. The judges friends sent him,
however, as a delegate and in about
thirty-six hours he developed as a
formidable candidate for prosecuting
attorney, and just then the Eleventh
street statesman's feet slipped from I'M
der him, and the judge has been repeat
ing the ancient statute-An Eye for an
Eye, ETC., and is feeling happy. Had
it not been for this accusation of bad
faith against Judge Maxwell he would
not have been in the field and the
Eleventh street statesman instead OF
Mr.. Hill would have been the nominee
of the party.

Many Languages in German Colonie.

The Germans are trying to count the
languages that are spoken in their colo
NAL possessions. In east Africa they
have found fifty languages, in southwest
Africa, twelve; in Cameroons, twenty;
in Toga, five or six. These figures do
not include large number of dialects
which are almost equivalent in some
cases to another language. The Ger
mans have no idea yet how many Ian
guages are spoken in their South sea
possessions, but they have thus far
counted fifty. Their missionaries and
agents are hard at work reducing the
