classroom door, and whatever else
is neglected English should not be.
The best results in other studies
cannot be reached unless we are
skilled in the use of English; all
agree that excellence in English is
most desirable, and that this excel
lence is the ability to express ones
self easily and gracefully in a style
appropriate to the subject and to
the occasion.
The word literature is used in
two distinct senses:
(a) Its literal meaning is some
thing written. In this general sense
we may say that the literature of q
nation includes all the books it has
produced, without respect to sub
iect or excellence.
(b) By literature, in it's secon-
Diary and more restricted sense, we
mean one especial kind of written
composition which we cannot strict
ly define Works of literature in
this sense aim to please, to awaken
thought, feeling, or imagination,
rather than to instruct. Like paint
ing, music, or sculpture, literature
is concerned mainly with the feel
ings, and in this is distinguished
from books effects of science. 1t is
true that literature may deal with
facts, but it uses these facts to ar
ouse the feelings or to please the
imagination, by making them of
universal interest and expressing
them IN a form ofpermanent beau
ty or value.
We are impressed as we study a
great writer that he is impelled to
give us through written words much
that he has gained by experience,
Thus in Sartar Resartus he find the
results of Carlyle's years of uncer-
tain prospects and physical suffer
ing, the critical period of doubt,
despair and spiritual conflict. Car
lyle lived through much to make
this book in which he reveals him
self and gives us what he has
gained.
We study the poets verse and
we find the lesson he has learned
from living; his experiences touch
our own, and thus we see that lit
erature is born of life; it is in this
sense that in Areopagitica Milton
calls a good book the precious life
blood OF master spirit embalmed
and treasured up on purpose to a
life beyond life"
In the study of literature we not
only come to look on the works of
each great writer as part ofhuman
life preserved to us, but we go fur
Their, and realize that nations have
a continuous inner life; that men
and women have embodied in liter
allure not their own souls merely,
but some deep thought or feeling Of
their time and nation. Thus in the
study of Tennyson, the poet of his
age, we discover scientist in his
views of human progress, for he
recognizes gradual and orderly de-
velopment as the law alike of hu-
man society anG of the material
world, AS we study his Idylls of
the King we trace the entrance and
growth of an element of sin and
discord; spreading, it pulls down
into ruin that Fellowship of noble
knights" which we may take as an
image of the mighty world. In

crease revenues to meet the expenses Of the

cy," reported by the republican majority of
the ways and means committee. The bill
repeats the present tariff law until Aug. 1,

ley rates on wool and woolens, carpets and
lumber and makes a horizontal increase of
the present rates i'm all other schedules, ex-
cept sugar, of Is per cent. The vote was
205 to 81. The republican leaders all an

living in widely separated states is one of
the best evidence of how Paine's celery COM
pound is regarded all over the country.
Women's peculiar life brings a languor
and listlessness that are best met by Paine's
celery compound. The ~dispirited condition,
the backaches, the neuralgia headaches, the
sleeplessness and nervous debility, that so
frequently attack women when their blood
is robbed of its vitality is soon. dispelled
when Paine's celery compound is used.
Mrs. Collman, writing October 80 from
her home, 1877 Scott street, Wilkesbarre.
Penn, says:
''Fully appreciating the benefits from the
use of Paine's celery compound l recon-
mend it to others. Suffering from sleep
lessness and nervous debility, 1 was per-
suaded to use this truly greatest of rene
dies. Although l can have every medicine
from my brothers, the druggists here, /
gave Paine's celery compound a trial, and
must confess only to my benefit. My only
boy, four years old, was also treated with
it, and his nervousness has disappeared.
My father, Rev. G. Knehn. with whom 1
live, thinks a great deal of Paine's celery
compound. 1 shall always keep it in my
house,"
There are untold numbers of women who
are working and worrying enough to drive
them into their graves if Paine's celery COM
pound were not always in their homes to
strengthen and restore their brains and
nerves when there was great need IL il.

On the other hand, when reduced health

Paine's celery compound is used to restore
the integrity of the nerves and blood, no
further trouble is to be feared.
Paine's celery compound at once corrects
an unhealthy condition of the nervous sys-

The action of Judge Daboll in granting a
mandamus compelling the county treasurer
to pay all sparrow bounty orders presented
to him will cause an increase in our county
tax, but the damage done by these birds far
exceeds all the expense this order will incur.
Judge Daboll held the law to be mandatory
and that the action of the supervisors in Or
dering the treasurer not to pay orders was
unlawful.

called to the address of Gov. Rich, deliver

pp,,.nv scuoon INTEREST FUND FROM 1887 TO
1904 INCLUSIVE.

The balance at the close OF business yes
terday. December 0, 1895, was $31, 644. 40,
but there had been borrowed 5000, 600, and
$50, 900 advanced by Wayne county. There
are taxes due from various counties and
from the insurance companies and charter
railroad companies, which will enable the
bills to be met until the money from the
present tax levy can be realized. There
will, therefore, be 1858, 800 to apply on the
deficiency. Then the expenses Of the legis-
lature amounting to Sl2S,929 have been
paid, and $50, 900 for strike expenses.
The census, amounting to, probably,
$75, 900, has been paid. There will be some
interest to pay on loans, n some received
for deposits, but which will not materially
change the result. There is also being con-
siderable expended in the collection of
accounts against counties which have
been delinquent in payment of taxes, but
there will be from $500, 900 to $3.50, 600 col
lected which would otherwise not nave been
paid to the State.
In view of the increased expense 1t Is pos
sible there will be o small deficiency at the
close of the year 1896, but every effort is
being made to collect past due taxes and to
keep down expenses.
This in brief is the present condition Of
the treasury, and the cause of the present
high taxes. 1t is to be sincerely regretted
that this high tax comes when people feel so
lily able to pay, but the appropriations are
no more than the necessities of the State and
its varied interests and institutions require,
and the honor of the State and Of its people
demands that the unauthorized debt be can
celed at the earliest possible moment.

BAKING POWDERS ANALYZED.
Prof. Kedzie's Report Shows the Purity and
Wholesomeness of the "Royal' brand.

Prof. Kedzie's Report Shows the Purity and
Wholesomeness of the "Royal" brand.
The severe chemical tests to which the
various baking powders of the market have
from time to time been placed have been
most valuable to the public In enabling con-
sumers to discriminate between the good
and the bad.
The latest of these tests, those by Prof. r.
G. Kedzie, Of the Michigan Agricultural
College, are the most important. Prof. Ked-
zie's extensive work in the examination of
the food articles sold in Michigan, carried
on in his official capacity as state analyst,
have made him an authority whose reports
and opinions will be ~undisputed.
1t is indeed fortunate for the public that
the baking powder in largest use in this
community was ascertained by these exhaus-
tive analyses to be the best and purest and
of most wholesome quality.
Dr. Kedzie says: my tests show the
Royal Baking Powder of very superior leav-
ening power and a most commendable prep
aration. 1t is a cream of tartar powder of
the highest purity, containing no alum, lime,
ammonia, or any unwholesome material"
This important recognition, not only of
the absolute purity and wholesomeness of
the Royal Baking Powder, but of its SUI
periority oyer other powders in strength and
efficiency as o leavening agent, will add to
the already wide popularity of this we'll
known article and will be especially crafty
