many portions OF the south and south
west advices from the interior are that
the country merchant is doing an in
creased volume OF business. based on
favorable weather and large crops. This
is more striking in view Of the continued
reports OF the unfavorabie effect of trase

A funny incident of a drawing room
meeting was recently noticed. a grave
looking gentleman, with an unusually
tall hat, entered, and seeing no rack in
the hall placed his hat on the floor just
behind the door. Pretty soon another
grave man entered with a large, drip
ping umbrella, and peering anxiously
for the usual receptacle saw in the
gloom the hat resting on the floor. His
eyesight was probably poor. for he mis-
took il for one of the new umbrella
holders, and in it he deposited his drip
ping umbrella This was an example
for those who followed, and in a short
time the solemn looking hat was stanch-
ly holding a dozen umbrellas AT the
end of the meeting the water in the hat
was an inch in depth. London Tit Bits.

tonear the bottom of the crucible, where
il is surrounded by dry metallic oxides
or other compounds capable of attacking
carbon under heat and in rarefied air.

Unrequited Charity.

Every noble deed is attributed to
impure motives by some people.
For example
Andrew Carnegie, the multi-mil.
lionairc. has contributed 500, 900 to
the suffering poor of the city of
Pittsburg, and offers TO duplicate
every dollar the city contributes to
the same cause.
Then the Philadelphia Times, sub.
stituting words for Carnegie's dol
lars, comes TO the front with the fol
lowing ungroteful comment:
"Alr. Carnegie is one of those
whole souled Samaritans who does
not let his right hand know what
his left doeth. His right hand holds
out liberal charity TO the suffering
poor of Pittsburg, in placid ignor-
ance of the fact that his other hand
is cutting down wages to starva-
tion point
And yet the Times knows full
well that Carnegie pays rs high
wages TO his hands rs are paid to
any iron-workers in the world.
If Jesus Christ were to come upon
the earth this New Year day and
say, Come, We blessed of the
Father" men like the editor of
the Times would protest and say,
II will not. He is Protoctionist
aud has an axe to grind More
over, it is not presumed that such
fellows would be included in the
summons.

in county seat ne thought he
would have less than 100 days, or
more days for play than for school,
not counting the Sundays. He
boosted of his reckoning i'll the
presence of heavy tax payer and OF
veteran teacher. The former
growled with some show of justice
ut the waste of public money with
out an adequate return, and the
latter complained that the increas-
ing breaks III the regular school year
made it more and more difficult to
get the pupils ready for promotion.
The recent ruling of the State
superintendent IN regard to legal
holidays was evidently step in the
right direction. 1t docs not imply
that the schools must be kept in
operation on Christmas and on
Thanksgiving day. 1t simply leaves
the matter in the hands of directors
and controllers. Nor does it lead to
inconvenient consequences i'll regard
to school on Saturday. The univer.
sity of Pennsylvania gives instruc,
tion on Saturday. Three state nor
NAL schools and several colleges
have their weekly holiday on Mon
day instead Of Saturday. Thos,
who have this change are not willing
to go back to the old arrangement
The state department will, unde
the recent ruling, not be required t.
withhold the state appropriation
from districts in which some teach
er, through ignorance of the law
happens to teach on Saturday.
Many school districts We're accus
toned to begin the school year o.
the first Monday in September, an
found themselves greatly annoye
when this day was selected by legis
lative enactment AZ Labor day. Il
obviate this difficulty in the scho'
year the last Legislature change
Labor day to the first Saturday
September. The farmer on the II
cent holiday act wisely omitted ord
nary instruction at school from I'll
list of purposes for which the da.
enumerated therein were create
legal holidays. 1t may be right an
proper to shorten the number {
study hours in the school days, bl
the time has certainly como to ste
curtailing by Legislative enactment
the number of days in which teacl
ers can give regular instruction
their pupils.
