Keen them clean

Keep them clean.
FIJI the lamps each morning.
Look especially after the burner.
DO not try to burn old, gummv
dirty oil.
Lamps having metal bowls are best
and safest.
Have good wick, aud keep it
properly trimmed
DO not fill lamp when burning- II
is dangerous.
Use the best oil to be had; it is
cheapest, the cleanest, the safest.
In case of accident, keep cool. and
attend TO business right away.
Have closet for the lamps and
their belongings, and keep them there.
Trim off that portion of the wick
which has been burned out-no more.
In getting new burners, see that
there is perfect fit also in regard to
the wicks.
do not live from hand to mouth :"
have a good supply of everything not
of perishable nature.
Handle the lamp carefully when
ahame; it is an invaluable friend, vet
contains elements Of disaster.
Never turn down the lamp SO low
that the combustion is imperfect it
poisons the air beyond endurance.
If a lamp tips over and is not broken
ngAt It Immediately; if broken pick
up the part containing the wick and
blow it out, Or toss it out of the win

DIPHTHERIA IN PHILADELPHIA
During the past year there have been
5000 cases of diphtheria and 1,425
deaths from the same disease in the
city of Philadelphia. This is an alarm
ing number of cases and a very heavy
mortality through disease which is
generally believed preventable by the
medical authorities. 1t is about as
fatal as cholera was in Europe last
summer. But just imagine what an
alarm would have been created had
there been 5000 cases of Asiatlo chol-
era developed in that city during the
past year, accompanied by the same
number of deaths.

Typhus in New York.

The existence Of between eighty and
hundred eases Of typhus fever in the
city Of New York has not unnaturall =
created some alarm, and caused some
activity by the board Of health. All
the cases so far have originated in or
been traceable to one or two of the
crowded lodging houses in the lower
part Of the city, which number llG.
and contain on an average, about l25
occupants each. Most Of these places
are especially designed to promote such
disease, as it can only breed in filth.
and is quickly confined 10y cleanliness
and ventilation.
Typhus fever is one of the most fatal
of diseases, and while having some
features in common with typhoid, such
as continuing fever, it is clearly dis
tinguishable from it. The name of
the disease comes from the Greek
word "typhOo" meaning "a mist" re.
ferring TO the stupor which is one of
the symptoms of the disease. Typhus
fever was formerly known unde. the
various names of spotted, putrid, Jail
fever and some others.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Governor Reynolds speaks highly Of
the effects of the law by which school
books are furnished without cost to
pupils of the public schools. He
showed the cost of furnishing the
books to have been S22, ,9S5, and goes
on to say From the superintendents
of each of the counties it is learned
that the attendance of scholars since
the law went into operation shows "a
marked increase, and at the same time
the school fund, which is derived
chiefly from licence fees, has increased
in proportion with the expend iture
necessary to furnish school books free,
the dividend for 1890 being $lO2, ,94S,-
IS, and for 1892, after deducting the
cost OF text books, being $l2l ,OS0,94.
0Tho auditors report SHOWS that
$5l ,A43 is in the hands of the clerks Of
of the school diitricts of the several
counties. This statement would seem
to show that the reeeipts for school
purposes in many districts are in excess
of the amount required for running
their schools, and that the tax necess1
airy to be levied as a condition upon
which they receive their proportion
ate share Of the school dividend Is
unnecessary. In view of these facts,
| would recommend that the laws be
so amended as to reduce the amount
of tax required to be levied by the
school districts. The rapid growth Of
the school fund will soon be sufficient
for ell school purposes, and there will
! no longsr be necessity for any tax

THE MATTER OF TAXATION.
He refers to the agitation in favor of
new tax laws and of the report Of a
commission appointed to investigate
this matter, which will be made at this
session
1T will be your duty" he says, "to
deal with this report and the subject
generally in a calm, deliberate and
rational manner As equality is one
one OF the fundamental principles OF
taxation, il seems unfair and inequitablt
that any class or species of property
should be entirely exempt from the
tax burden. All should contribute to
the support Of government in proper
ton to their capacity or respective
ability"
In making Il revision OF tax laws
however, 50 de to subject Investments
TO their operation, you should con-
slider whether it would be expedient
to make them a part of the common
basis of taxation. You should ever
keep in mind that capital is very shy
and will always seek those conditions
which are favorable to the production
OF the largest amount of profits with.
out diminution on account Of expense
or taxes" He also refers to the ad.

ing TO be a time when he gets here this
morning"
Thinking he was not the man was
looking for, left him. | did not hear
any more tell of the r porter, and
guess he got along all right, for soon
there wos large crowd seated around
the tables, or desks, and did not see
any vacant seat.

Only 4,16O miles of new railroad
lines were built during the last year,
which is, we believe, the smallest
number of miles built for many years
past, and may account in some meas
ure for the dullness of the iron trade,
during the past year. The largest
number of miles put down by states
goes to Washington, where 426 miles
miles were laid. Five states, Delaware
among them, did not put down a single
mile. This, however, brings the ag-
gregate railroad mileage of the coun-
try up to l74, 900 miles, which is near
ly or within five per cent. of half the
entire railroad mileage of the whole
world.

INSTITUTES DOoMED.-Supervisins
Principal Gregory expressed himself
in emphatic terms on Teachers Insti-
tutes, at the meeting of the New Jer-
sey Council Of Education which was
held at the State Normal School, Tren-
ton, last week. He said that there
were about $500 teachers in the state.
The expense of holding an institute
could be figured up as follows Loss of
service to the state, their salaries at So
per day for three days, would be $27.-
600; board, at 81 per day, $l3,5 500.
travelling expenses, at 81 a person,
$4,000; state appropriation, s2,lOO;
total, $47,lOO. Granting that some
teachers lived at home or could get
there, the aggregate would be reduced
to $4,000. This is large outlay, and
it suggests the query: Is the return
commensurate with the expense p

4 Hard Corner,

The age of 80 is a hard corner for u
woman to turn, and So is still harder
She feels that she is fast leaving her
youth behind her. But there is NO
reason why woman should be faded
and pass at 30 or even 40. The CHIEF
of the early fading of American WON
en- is found in the fact that many OF
them suffer from some form OF
female weakness ordisease, which robs
the face of its bloom, draws dark cir
cles about the eyes, brings early wrin-
kles and sallowness, and stamps the
face and figure with signs of ill-health.

cure all these troubles, will bring the
