.SWEENY FOR NO. A

It is said on good authority today that
Mr. William S. Sweeny, late Principal
of the High School, will be appointed to
the Principalship of No. IA School, made
vacant by the elevation of Principal
Haskell to the High School. The rumor
further states that Messrs. Degnan,
Obergfell, Stowe. Daily, Mclean and
Walker are willing to vote for Mr..
Sweeny; but no confirmation of that part
of therumor could be had. Mr.. William
H Beach is the committeeman of No.
IA School, and the appointment Is his
by courtesy. There are several names
mentioned for Mr.. HaskelPs place, but
Mr.. Sweeny seems to be the favorite.

WASTE OFF HAPPINESS.

There is nothing which we waste
more than happiness. Even those who
are thrifty and prudent in other direc-
tions are prodigal here. They stint and
plan to save a half penny, but they are
often Indifferent about the loss of days
of happiness. We do not enjoy our
friends until they die or we lose them
in some other way. The early spring
and summer days pass without our
realizing their beauty. We rush
through holiday trip and miss half
the scenery, because we are in a hurry,
or cross on anxious about worthless
trifles. Nearly every old or even mid
dleaged man who looks back honestly
on his life will admit that, however
wretched he may be now, opportunities
of happiness were given to him A
French writer recorded what most of
us know from experience to be true
when he said that many people could be
made happy with the happiness which
is lost in the world. We lose happiness
because we often scorn calm, quiet
pleasures, and seek only for those that
excite. Or we make the mistake of
thinking that happiness lies only in big
sensational events instead of in the
small, trifiing incidents of daily life.
Or we seek for it in the future rather
than in the present, which is like a.
man looking for his hat when it is all
the time upon his head.-Home Queen

THE MILKY SEA.

In 1910 the expedition to the East
Indies under Martin Ping, when in the
tropical Pacific, had one night what
was mystifying spectacle. They be-
held the sea all about them pale and
white, resembling vast cheese vat,
so that one might have imagined 1.-The
ship to have been sailing in whey in
stead of salt water, it carried such a
milky appearance along with it. The
air and sky at the same time looked
white and hazy, without doubt the
effect of the reflections from the sur
face of the water SO disposed and
colored."
In February, 1881, Mr.. Daniel Pidge-
on, a very acute observer, witnessed
the phenomenon of this milky sea"
of the Pacific, when he says, 1.-The
whole ocean from the ship to the WISH
BILE horizon looked exactly as if it
were covered with snow.
1.-The snowy surface evidently re-
f1ected the light of the sky, for Venus,
being very bright, threw distinguish
able line of radiance across it, while
the phospherescent crests of waves
were now and then seen breaking
above the layer of shining matter
which OVERLAND the water" He con-
WINGED himself that the appearance
was due to thin layer of mist, pro-
duced when the sea surface happens to
be considerably cooler than the moist
atmosphere above, so that the air in
Immediate contact with the water is
chilled below the dew point and be-
comes misty, while the air above re-
mains transparent
1t would be interesting to know
whether the same explanati ton will APP
ply to all displays of the milky sea-

NEW YORK, Dec. 21-The holiday

gladness to every one, but the detec-

ception which proves the rule.
Christmas time to them is period
of ceaseless work, unlimited bother
and oftentimes with not much to show
for their labors. 1t is the harvest time
of the pickpocket and the sneak thief
and they haunt the shopping district

aggravating to the police is. that this

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The Schenectady Locomotive works
are using for certain parts what is
called "steeled iron,'' a mixture of 20
per cent good iron and 80 per cent
steel, of which the castings obtained
are about 20 per cent greater in
strength than common cast iron.
North Carolina has a mica output of
100000 pounus year. New Hampshire
produces about $4,000 pounds, South
Dakota $4,000 pounds and New Mexico
LOCO pounds. The mica of North Caro-
lima is of the best quality and brings
the highest price.
Our exports of iron and steel and
their products for the first nine months
of this year amounted in varue of about
$32, O00, 600, the largest by over $4.000,000
in the history of the country. Includ-
ed in this sum were 1876 locomotives,
which were mostly sent to South
America.
The worlds record for lumber cut
ting is claimed for the Port Blakely mill
of Port Blakeiy, Wash. During the ten
months of this year up to the end of
October S3,676,212 feet of lumber had
been cut at this one mill, and it is esti-
mated that the total output for 1895
will be at least 105, 900, 900 feet. Loaded
in regular car lots, this amount would
make a train more than sixty miles
long.
An apostle of physical culture. ac-
cording to the Medical Record, says
that nervous headache may be cured by
the simple act of walking backward
for ten minutes. TT is well to get in
a. long, narrow room, where the win
dows are high, and walk very slowly,
placing first the ball of the foot on the
floor, and then the heel. Besides cur

is credited with 25.6 per cent of male
and 1873 per cent of female general

TEMPERATURE OF DINING ROOMS.

The temperature of dining rooms is
frequently too high. 1t is a common
thing for servants to neglect airing the
room and attending to the temperature.
Probably the majority of people would
name 20 Fahrenheit the proper heat for
the room, but this is much too high.
An authority in this matter says that
60 is none too low, and person who
has suffered from the discomfort of an
overheated room is likely to agree with
him after making a trial of different
temperatures-N. Y. Tribune.

The ShopIifters.

that only the most daring women fol-

Of the latter scores are caught every
day. Many of the professionals carry
baby with them for the double pur-
pose of hiding the goods in the long
clothes OF the infant and appearing to
belong to the respectable married class
to divert suspicion.
Slowing away the stolen goods is a.

things, but when she was caught a. tinv
