element 1t Is true that the proprietor
of the desk may be compelled little
later to search an hour for Il paper ne
needs immediately, but that is nothing
to her: the desk has been strengthened
up so as to look decent and this, of
course. is the main object for which a
desk was created. n schedule of stud
les for Il housekeeping school should
contain Il special course on this line,
and by impressing on the minds of stu
dents the fact that when Il man can find
what he wants to him his desk Is in per
feet order. although to others it may
seem in hopeless confusion, they will
confer 4 favor of no little magnitude on
a host Of men who keep desks and like
to have them remain undisturbed.
The relation of house cleaning to do
nestle comfort is subject which might
protitably find Il place in the list of do
mestico- studies. There are
probably few boys in the land but who,
when in gladstone spring they beheld
an array of buckets and scrubbing
brushes on the back porch, have hidden
their caps under their jackets and sur
reptitiously HE'D them away for Il days
fishing. counting the thrashing upon
their return as dross when compared TO
the toll Of rendering assistance in the
cleaning. Nor are their fathers much
better off than themselves. for when
house-cleaning is to be done all consid-
erationS of comfort must stand from
under. But lovely woman is in her ele
ment for then. If never before, she has
something to complain about, and is
thus perfectly happy. With her hus-
bands linen buster loosely fitted to her
fragile form, and her husbands last
summers straw hat mounted above her
brow, with n brush in one hand, a dust
pan In the other she buStleS about from
room to room. giving directions as %
how things must be done. The spot Of
SCOT on her nose is Il tritle: in vain does
her husband protest; the house has got
to be cleaucd, and that settles it." SO
on she goes in her mad career, with
bitterness in her heart. with Il pain in
her back that makes 1t feel like 1t would
break, with Il certainty that she is
destined to be Laid up on the morrow
and yet With grim determination that
the house shall be clean. though hus
bands rage and imagine vain things
She knows her business. Other women
clean house. so must she. The fact that
the house needs no cleaning is not of the
slightest consequence; the motions must
be gone through with If for no other
reason than to teach the tyrant man
that there are times and seasons when
the down trodden wife. like the crushed
worm. will turn and assert her SUI
prcmacy.
So in many directions there are fields
of usefulness open to the University of

n French army surgeon, Doctor Sar-
azin, writing of his experiences during
the Franco-German war. mentions two
striking incidents of the disastrous bat
tie Of Froeschwiller. He was hard at
work among the wounded in the field
hospital. The French forces had been
routed, and We're in full retreat. The
day was lost hopclessly.
Suddenly the Doctor looked up and
saw little French soldier. with his
knaDsack on his back and his musket
in his hand. walking TRANQUILITY up the
street toward the enemy's position At
that moment Il letter-boX against the
wall caught his eye. He stopped, took
out notebook. scrubbed Il few lines
folded the leaf, addressed it and drop
ped in into the box. Then he looked
at the lock of his musket, and alone
took up his march against the German
army!
What became of that brave boy?"
Doctor Sarazin asks. What insensatc
courage pushed him thus to the front.
one boy against an army, when thirty
thousand men were fleeing behind
him? To whom did he contide his last
thought? / would gladly have saved
that letter. but the next morning the
box was gone. The Prussians had car
ried it away"
Hardly had this boy-hero disappear
ed when the Doctor noticed six miners
OF the engineer corps, who came up
with pickaxes to make loopholes in the
walls of the buildings. They were n
little late. There were no longer any
men to put behind the loopholes
So the miners reasoned, for presently
the Doctor saw them comforting to-
gether Then they put down their pick
axes. took up some muskets and car
tridges, and like the boy before them,
they marched against the German
army.

VIII Revise the Course of Study.

The committee appointed by the
Board of Education to revise the course
ofstudy in the city schoolsis now engag-
ed in the work and Unexpected that all
of the schools will be modernized.
1t is too soon as yet to accurately fore
cast the action of the committee, but
we feel safe in assuring the boys and
girls that the mid winter examina-
tons will soon be but a memory.
Martinsburg is the only city in the
State which retains these Anticipated
tests of fitness for promotion, and il
is time they were no more.
1t is also understood that the inten-
tion is to raise the standard so that
graduates of the High School may be
fitted to enter the freshman class Of
any college in the country. There
will doubtless be two courses in the
High School-Classica and Business
the one leading to college, the other
to the active duties of life. Briefly
the wish of all friends of the schools
is to make our system a model one.
The committee consists of Superin-
tendent Carman, Miss Alice Wilson,
and Profs. Blakemore and William
son, of the High School, and Prois.
Pitzer, Siler, Dodd and Downs, of the
ward schools-a strong aggregation
of brains and experience.

And still we are moderately gay
not uproarishly merry nor destroyer
ously hilarious, but cheerful in a sub
dued and chastened sort of way. 1
is in such times as this that we love
to comfort ourselves with proverbs
such as
I. Every cloud has silver lining
?. The darkest hour is just befor,
the dawn.
8. Sweet are the uses of adversely
4. Whom the Lord loveth he chas
teneth.
S. A kick is more persuasive thar

7. Affections, though they seem
severe, are oft in mercy sent.
s. Nil desperandum.
9. Never give up the ship.
10. L pluribus unun.
II. Blessed are they that mourn.
We advise our Democratic readers
to get these sayings by heart. Our
experience has been that in times OF
affection good proverb is better than
drink, though some people have
been known to take both.
