 other manures have been before New England farmers until they are household words and farmers in probably every town testify to their effect. The princi- pie of special manures for special crops was originated by Prof Levi Stockbridge of the Massachusetts Agricultural col lege, himself practical working farmer from boyhood and the ablest exponent of the calling yet produced in Western Mas sachusetts. To-day every manufacturer of complete fertilizers recognizes the soundness of this principle and initiates, to the best of his ability, Prof Stock bridges work. At the end, however, of something like quarter century the Stockbridge manures stand higher than ever before, and the tributes to their su- perior value, especially for potatoes corn and grass. are such as to satisfy any un- prejudiced mind that, submitted to the crucial test of field use they leave little to be desired, and that their rivals must that little

Assuming that comparatively few will read the report of the State Board of Ed ucation, have endeavored to set forth brie fly some of the facts relating to our public schools; and some of the theories and standards of those who have official supervision of that department of gov ernment.
 The state aims to make teaching a learped profession, and an honorable public service which shall be protected against social and political abuses, and promoted and compensated according to it's real importance to the c ommonwealth.- The theory of the board is ''that the re suits of education are measure of the teaching" Accordingly they urge that "only qualified and competent persons may be allowed to teach" r4 .-@
 Moreover, the state. maintains three normal training schools in which persons are not only instructed in the art of teach ing, but actually serve an apprenticeship as practical teachers, under experienced masters. The state sets up it's standards and the day cannot be far off when those standards will be adopted by every town and school district. "A high school, an academy or college must furnish the broad literary education required, and the time has passed when persons may go straight from the desk of a pupil in an elementary school to the desk of the teacher. The history of the last 50 years has proved that, in addition to an ad- vaneed education, teachers, 10 be sue cessful, must receive broad prufession- al training. Whatever the grade. from Kindergarten to the college, the teacher needs that special preparation which on ly a normal school can furnish. And the fS,~ zy1t. 1s2I qualifications which are needed must be >nore than training school.''
 January, 94, the board of education of New Haven adopted the following rule, "No candidate shall be appointed teacher in the district who has not re- ceived diploma from some normal or training school of good standing; de- gree from some college or university !; or who has not, by successful experience in teaching, proved himself competent. No graduate of any normal or training school shall be appointed a teacher in the district who has not taken course for three full years in the New Haven high school, or has taken an equivalent course of study elsewhere
 There is no word of personal dispar- agement, expressed or implied, against the untrained and inexperienced teachers who may be making the most noble ef- forts under the most discouraging cir cumstances, and deserves great credit for having the courage to try to teach at all :; but as the report puts it, ssIt is plain that the educational machine is faulty in not furnishing a supply of educated, trained and duly certificated teachers. We have no thought of casting blame upon those who undertake to teach. The system in- vites them, the utter absenceOf supervis- ion or criticism invites them, the lack of real professional competition invites them; the door is wide open. .'-[O. O. Wright.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS.
 Friday, April 5, was joyous day at John Benedict's. Among the invited guests were Mrs Nancy Burr, MT and
 Mrs George $. Burr, Mrs R. B. Rockwell
 to celebrate the birthdays of Mrs Nancy
 Benedict, mother of John Benedict, and Mrs Nancy Burr, mother of George S.
 Burr, also in honor of Mrs Sophia Hunt,
 mother of Mrs John Benedict, whose
 birthday was last month, being of the same age as the others, S5 years. Their combined ages are 255 years, all born in 1910. Mrs Burr and Mrs Benedict be- came acquainted in middle life and learn- ing their ages and birthdays were the same, they naturally sympathized with each other. On better acquaintance they learned that their experience in life had flowed in almost the same channel.
 Not only was their Christian names alike, their birthday the same, but they have realized the same joys and sorrows.
 To each were born one son and two daughters. Both of the sons living,
 both of the daughters of each having died. One daughter of each died before marriage, the other daughter of these la dies married, each having one child which also died with it's mother. Both of these ladies have been bereft of their husbands. How long this wonderful affinity will continue remains to be seen.
 1t has been their custom for years to meet on or near their birthdays to cele- brate. This year the meeting was at John Benedict's and grand spread, which Mrs Benedict knows how to pre- pare, was enjoyed at the noon hour. Time did not drag as Mrs JohnIBenedict's witty remarks added life to the occasion.

REV MIR JONES DONATION.

On Thursday evening, week, the Bap- tist parsonage was fairly crowded with the many friends of Rev H. W. Jones, who had gathered for the purpose of showing their kindly feeling and esteem to the popular pastor, and beside bring ing an abundance of all kinds of meats and pastries that they might eat and drink together to each others happiness, nice sum of money was presented to the young minister which added to the donation, 8 few weeks ago when it was almost impossible to travel on account of the roads. The handsome sum of $S1.50 was received. Beside this there were cords of wood, butter, and potatoes presented. It would be well for the various papers, and they were many, which published to the world the news that Rev MT Jones must of necessity im- mediately, if not sooner, resign, because of lack or friends and financial support, to have the unfortunate reporter severe ly rebuked for reckless and untruthful correspondence.

TWO OPINIONS GIVEN.
Attorney General ChiIds Renders
Them on Special Subjects.

Attorney General Childs delivered
yesterday morning to Gov. Clough the
following opinion defining the state
law relating to the business of storage
companies:
1 beg to acknowledge receipt of your
communication of the 18th inst, en-
closing the letter of a certain corpora
ton, in which it is asked, in substance,
the provisions of General Laws, 1895
lNo; 90. Pop. Ed, are authorized to
no business under the provisions of
General Laws 1855, chapter 2O2.
The legislation upon the subject of
storage companies has become some
what involved by reason of the passage
Of the said act of 1885. 1t is evident
that the legislature intended to pre-
serve the law of 1885, as it is not only
expressly referred to in the later law
at the same session in which that law
was passed. &C. L. 1885, No. 173)
The legislature must be deemed to
nave narrowed the scope of the appli-
tent that it now applies only to rail-
ro3qS or transportation companies
holding goods in cars. freight houses
Or warehouses for period not exceed
ing ing twenty NJ days. All other transporta-
ton or storage companies, except those
receiving grain in bulk, fall within the
contemplation of the law of 1895
While this seems the most rational
view to take of the law, it does NOT
perfectly harmonic all of the various
provisions.
1t is expressly provided that when a
transportation company transfers
goods to a storage company and col
lectS therefrom its proper charges, the
latter shall have a lien upon the goods
enforceable under sections l, 2, and
4, of the law of 1885. To that extent at
least. the earlier law still applies TO
such companies. 1t is to be observed
that it is expressly provided in section
3, Of the law of 1885, that cit shall
>e unlawful for any person. persons

G. A. r., Louisville, ny.

ment of the Grand Army to be held at
Louisville, KY, Sept. 10th to 18th, the
Chicago Great Western Railway will
sell excursion tickets to Louisville at

Tickets on sale Sept. Sth to 10th in
elusive, with return limit of Sept 18th.
This popular line will run through
sleeping cars to Louisville and they
offer the most attractive route, par
ticularly from Iowa and the North
west. The Chicago Great Western have
successfully handled several large GA
r. excursions in the past and they
spare no effort to make the trip pleas
ant and attractive.

or corporation, not duly licensed, as
herein provided, to conduct or carry
on the business of a storage company
or Warehouseman in this state" All
brought under its provisions, and it
follows that the only bond required
Will be the one therein provided, viz:
y bond of 5000. FurtherIn ore, reply
ing to a suggestion of the inQuiring
company, the law recognizes no such
classification as general and special
Warehousenen. 4 person or corpora
ton engaged in storing one or more
classes OF merchandise for the public
Tor hire, is storage company within
the meaning of the act Of 1895.
He also gave County Auditor Nye, of
Hennepin county, the following opin-
ion as to the intent Of the legislature
in those portions OF the state game
law that refer to birds and dogs
1t appears that the law has, by amend
ment, been rendered very obscure:
You call attention to section 13 of
the game and fish law. and inquire
what animals are therein contem-
plated.
By the terms of the section. the
hunting CT the animals mentioned in
section 0 are prohibited. Section 8,
however, has reference only TO birds,
and 1t IS therefore evident that the
prohibition has by / gisla tive oversight
bctit HIS lttdSS0. ItAlS u ItlciI4lISSliy SO
when reference IS had to the pre-ex-
listing law. Section 8 of the law of
1881 prohibited hunting with hounds
or dogs any elk, moose, deer, ante
lope, buck, doe or fawn at any time
But that section was radically amend
ed in 1898 (chap. 124, sec, ., SO as to
eliminate all reference to the animals
originally named therein. Section 10
of the law OF 1891 did not in terms re-
fer to section 9, but when the act was
revised i'll 1888 the 1irst-named section
was SO amended as to read as at pres
ent. Generally, if not always, the
terms animals and birds are con-
tradistinguished in the statute. AS IL
5ustratiye of this see sections 8, Is, %,
q, % and q. Section II of the present
game law is the section which refers
to the animals mentioned in section
Of the act of 1891. If, therefore, the
prohibition against hunting with dogs
is still in force, it must, in my opinion,
be deemed to apply to section II, rather
than to section 8. The question is.
however, of such a, nature as to render
1t impossible to determine with the ut
most confidence what construction will
meet with the approval of the courts.
