CLARKsBURG, w. VA, October In
Novem Der, 1898, the Supreme Court
of this State held that County Court
cannot bind the levies of future years
under sections 25 and &c, chapter 1884, Of
the Acts 1872 and 1873, to pay for i'm
provements made on roads and bridges
without first submitting all questions In
relation thereto to vote Of the people
as required by section s, article TO- OF
the Constitution.
Some years ago Mr.. E. w. Williams
OF this city, erected a court mouse
at Spencer, w. Va. The County
Court of Roane county issued orders
10 him for the work, payable out Of the
leyies Of 1887, 1888. 1889 aud 1890. 1ne
most OF the orders were cashed oy lhe
Merchants National Bank and the west
Virginia Bank Of this city, and were
paid by the county, except two orderS
of 81, 900 each, held by these two banks,
the uavment OF which was repudiated
bv Roane county, after the decision OF
the Supreme Court above referred TO
was made. Ose of these orders was
transferred by Mr.. Williams TO COL l.
s. SDates. to whom 1t was paid by the
West Virginia Bank, which brought
suit to recover OF Mr.. Spatss the amount
so paid by it. Upon demurrer to the
evidence Judge Hagan held that tHe
plaintiff could not recover. And the
same order will be made in the case OF
the Merchants National Bank against
Mr.. Williams, brought to recover the
amount of the other order. IL Is salo
the plaintiffs will appeal the cases, but
this is Dot likely, in view Of the opinion
OF the Conrt In the Wayne county case.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN.



1t seems to me, said woman who
had spent long life battling with un.
favorable circumstances, that there is
a grave Misrepresentation about the
obligation of children to parents.
think the first obligation should be
from the parent to thGehild. If pa
rents have children, they are by the
fact of bringing them into existence
responsible for their mental. moral and
physical well-being up to their major
ity. and they should under no circum-
stances forget that such obligations
rest upon them
In the first place, they ought to be
morally certain that they will be in
condition to give their children educa-
ton enough to fit them for their posi-
ton in life. If the child shows any
particular talent, the parents are under
just as much obligation to cultivate
this as they are to give the little one
proper food and clothing. AS they
grow up, the youngsters should have
reasonably good society and the sur
roundings to give them proper famil-
iarity with the usages of the world. To
rear child in total ignorance of the
good graceS and oourtesies of life is lit
tie short of a crime. OF course, if par
ents are ignorant themselves, they
have Just so much to struggle with
and as children grow older special
pains should be taken to bring them
into contact with other young people
and to put them into society of their
own age.
OF all the melancholy situations in
life, that of brilliant young person in
community where there is nothing
congenial is about the worst. Such per-
sons especially girls, are bound in the
due course of time to marry, and many
times out of hundred the marriage is
uncongenial They do not expect it
beforehand, and when the awakening
comes it is altogether too late to help
matters then.
There has always been a good deal
of talk about a millennium, but it will
never come until parents realize their
responsibility to their children and
take some pains to meet the demands
that tbe relation of parent and chilu
brings upon them.-N. Y. Ledger.

Arrangement of Curtains.

A new way of solving the curtain
question that is certainly convenient
and by no means ugly, is to have two
sets of sash curtains, one for the upper
and one for the lower half of win
dow. Both are hung on rods, and con-
sist of two parts, so that they can be
parted in the middle. The upper set
should be made long enough to fall
about an inch over the top of the lower
set. They may he made of muslin,
silk. or any other fabric, with edges
hemstitched. frilled, or trimmed with
lace The arrangement is a good one
for small bedrooms or for kitchen win
iows.-N. Y. Post.

To Remove whitewash stains.

The stains of whitewash are best re.
moved from glass with knife or
scraper Similar stains on woodwork
are easily removed with warm water
and brush, making little circular
strokes instead Of lengthwise ones,
and wiping up the whitewash, or soft
cloth dipped in warm water. When a
house has been plastcred, after the
mason has cleaned, it will be found
that there is great deal of lime and
plaster remaining behind. This must
be thoroughly scraped off and swept
up, and then the .foors should be thor
oughly scrubbed in warm water soft
ened by ammonia. 1t will require two
or three scrubbings before the floors
are absolutely clear.-N. Y. Tribune.

SOMETIMES.


sometimes in depths Of lonely solitude
We note birds song, clear and marvellous
Above beyond all bird-songs Of the wood,
Tender, and sweet and calm as the Angelus,
Sometimes In the tumult of the day
holy thought will rise,
And bird-like bear the soul away
To the gates of Paradise.
Sometimes shadow falls across the spring
Making the rainbow fountain dull and cold,
Until sidelong dash Of snowy wing
Turns all the shivering waters into gold;
Sometimes, somehow, cloud will lie
Across the souls white light
Then comes q stroke from the upper sky,
And all is fair and bright.
sometimes we vex ourselves with mystery;
IL grieves us that we cannot understand,
Liking not happenings that bring no key,
VI held, or shell, or star, OF sea or land
Sometimes strange lights disturb the soul
That flash and hide again;
But far as double stars that roll
Are they beyond our KEN
