The Wool Market.

Boston, January 9.-The American Wool

| the wool trade: The volume of transactions
in medium and low medium domestic feeces
since last writing amounts to over a million
pounds, which shows that manufac turers
using these woods. who have placed orders,
have been in the market this week. Then
there has been, altogether. a considerable
amount of pulled wool sold, which some say
is the cheapest of anything in the market.
taking account of the low prices all around.
Australian wool con tinues to be in good re-
quest for precisely the reasons given last
week. For most other kinds of wool than
the above named, the market is rather
quiet, the trade in them being slower than
was expected. Users of such are waltz -
for fall trade to open. the tendency II
prices having been downward so long, they
are not anxious to buy wool faster than
needed; these are only buying to piece out.
Rates, on the whole, are easier than fort
night ago. We can perceive nothing in the
situation. at home or abroad. that warrants
the expectation of any better prices in the
near future.
The sale of tho week amount to 2.1s7, $50
pounds domestic and 775. 500 pounds foreign.
making total of l,690,650 pounds, against
total of 1885,, $50 pounds for the previous

Shall Womel

Shall Women be Elected on the School
Board?
To the Editor of the PRESS:
The pay of a member of the School
Board not being very large, it is gen
orally the custom of the men elected to
give only what time they can conveniently
snare from business. OF course there are
exceptions to this rule. If woman
is elected she, having more Jime, aud
being more deeply interested in the
school question would give more time
and attention to the schools than man
could afford to. There are great many
little things that occur in the school
life of children that no one but mother
can understood, and 10 one but a moth
81 can have sympathy for. AS large
pumb Der Of our teachers are women, it
would seem both proper and right that
the committee who visit the schools
should be women; as then there would
be more freedom GA tine part of the
teachers to tell the committee what was
needed A woman would better under
stand what was needed in a sanitary
point of view than a man would ever
think of, and the health of the scholar
is of as much Importance as her learning.
Now you gentlemen, who are thinking
of obtaining the honor of membership
in the board next year, pause and think
if it would not be for the interest of the
scholars to have women Oh the board.
1t would not be going out of her station
for woman to . accept the office of
school committee The State has wom-
an on the board to visit the reform
school, and it has been for the interest of
the school; several reforms have been
m ade there within few years.

stood: / am not finding any fault with

compose it are doing as well, if not bet

Call 1t a Craze.
AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The NeaU York Tribune says: 'The habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine opium, cocaine or some
OTTER equally injurious drug having tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off Women usually begin taking them to re-
Iieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
NAV be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phne or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..
pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar Coated, easily swallowed;
once used, al1oays in fa5'or. They posi-
lively cure sick headache and remove
the disposition to it.
