The election of Mr.. Mckinley was the
occasion OF the most rapid and wide
spread business revival ever known in
this country. There is certainty that
good times viii prevail and that people
will earn money and have money TO
spend. The Independent, of New York,
was foremost in upholding the principles
for which Mr. Mckinley stands, and re-
ioices in the better outlook for every man,
woman and child in the country.
For forty-nine years The independent
has held the first position among the great
religious, literary and family weeklies of
this country, and it proposes to fill that
position in the future. 1t has adopted
several new. interesting and important
features, two Of which are: "The Survey
of the world" which gives in concise
form all OF the important events that have
happened in the world during the week,
and ssWork Indoors aud Out," which tells
men. women, boys and girls how TO earn

A Genernrs Act.

Shortly after dusk Monday evening a
scraggy looking pair of horses drawing
covered wagon pulled up at the barn of
the Hotel Vannear. The driver WAS an
intelligent looking man of about forty
years. and huddled together in the box OF
the wagon back of him were a woman
with three or four small children. The
man asked if he and the other members
of the family might sleep in the barn over
night, which by the way was decidedly
the coldest night of the present winter.
Mr.. Vannear, to whom the request was
made, replied, "No, / can't allow you to
take these little children into the barn,
but / viii give you a couple of warm
rooms in my hotel, where you and your
family can spend the night" The faces
of the mother and children beamed with
delight when they heard this generous
proposition and all were profuse in their
thanks to the kind landlord. The fanl-
" were provided with a warm supper be-
fore they retired and substantial break
fast before they departed the next morn
ing. The man said that he had left his
home near Richmond, Va, several years
ago, having accumulated enough money
to buy a small farm in Illinois. Crops
turned ont bad and he was compelled TO
place mortgage on the farm in order TO
keep his family from starving. Six weeks
ago he decided TO return TO his old home;
not having the means to travel by rail, he
gathered his few possessions together and
placing them in the farm wagon along
with his family they set out on their long
journey.

Ought to be Taugl

Ought to be Taught in the Public Schools.
While singing and drawing, says the
Philadelphia Record, are considered by
some good authorities in education TO be
respectively as essential to human happi-
ness and progress as are reading aloud
and writing, there is no doubt about it
that a knowledge of the nature and
uses Of common things Is of equai'impOr-
tance. Take the volatile and infamma-
ble kerosene, for instance, which is used,
in one way or another, in every house
from which children go out 10 school. Ii

may he abused for kindliug the breakfast
fire; il not used for lighting, it may he
put in the wash-boiler; if used for light
ing, it may carriel. about in glass lamps,
easily broken, or spilled over the apron
that is presently to be worn close TO the
kitchen range. In every way, since the
elders are so negligent with il, the school
children ought to be Taught its dangers.
IL was far more important that the little
girl who went last week directly from
filling the lamps 10 stand in front of the
fire should have known all about kero-
sene than 10 be able to bound the States
Of South Africa. She was fatally burned

Immediately; and all the boundary les
sons Of the geography book did her no
good. nor the arithmetic book either, in
this other fatal ignorance.
Surely there might be made room, even
in the Expanded course of study" for
plain talks on common things-that cot
ton will blaze for instance, while wool
will only scorch. Articles in everyday
use are safe or otherwise as they are un-
derstood. Not even older people seem
to be well informed As 20 the dangers OF

by all little Americans, not only those in
the classes who may now have to lend a
hand at home in domestic duties.

Ana Now They Are Married.

Everybody in and about Somerset
knows Jacob W. UochStetler, and most
of those who know him had long been
convinced that he was confirmed bach
elor Jacob patiently submitted to the
chatting of his numerous friends about
his life of celibIey, but at the same time
.'winked the other eye'' when he thought
of the lady at whose feet he had de-
termiued 10 bow. One day last week he
visited the Office of Register and Record
er Miller and proudly asked for license
which would permit him to marry the
girl OF his choice, and Thursday after
noon he was radiant with smiles when he
stepped before Elder L. ID. Braucher
with the bride-elect--Miss Annie Il.
Meyers-on his arm. The words that
made tho two lives one were soon spok-
en-. The bride is a daughter of Mr.. Will
lam Meyers, of Milford township, and is
one of the most estimable young ladies IN
the county. The groom is one of the
most thrifty and upright young men
about town and will make a model hus-
band. a large number of relatives and
invited guests witnessed the marriage
ceremony which took place at the home
of the brides parents. Mr.. and Mrs
Hochstetler are enjoying their honey
moon visiting with friends in the north
of the county.

Indeed, so unlocked for was happen

Berlin's Budget

The reception given to our esteemed fell
low townsman ID. j. Brubaker and his
bride, who came here after being mar
ried on Thanksgiving day. was very
happy affair. Quite a number of their
friends assembled at the home of the
groom to welcome the newly married
couple. A sumptuous feast had been
prepared. In the afternoon the happy
couple were rendered serenade by the
eornet band. The "bOys" were highly
pleased with their reception and speak in
the highest terms of the bride and groom.
Mr.. Bruhaker is one of the favored and
highly respected citizens of this place

Schools Of the State.

n. c. Schaeffer, superintendent of pub
lie instruction of Pennsylvania, has just
submitted his annual report to GOV.
Hastings for the year ended June / last.
While it shows great progress in the
school system there is no evidence TO in
dictate that the large appropriation of
s., 500,OO) is effecting any substantial in
crease of the salaries of teachers or ad
ding TO the length Of the school term.
The increase i'm the salary of male teach
ers was only 26 cents month while the
salary of female teachers underwent a
decrease of q cents.
Superintendent Schaeiler refers TO the
last United States census TO show that as
a rule the earning power of the industrial
classes rises as the percentage of Hitter
acy falls. lie also says the modern fac
tory is thriving upon educated labor, and
that its development has helped the in
tellectual progress. of the masses. Supt.
Schaefier also urged IA liberal appropria-
ton for higher education, especially
system that would benefit the rural pop
ulation.
Compulsory education, says Superin-
tendent SchaefIer, has steadily decreased
the number of children employed in the
manufactures. He claims il was neces-
sary ito Danish illiteracy and to make
ignorance impossible" The law in
Pennsylvania, he says, has not been fully
tried and many defects in it will appear
which must be remedied by future legis-
lation. Compulsory vaccination is not
favored by the superintendent, and he
says it serves 10 neutralize the compul-
sorry education law. Ii is better, he
thinks, to educate the pupils aud parents
in the laws of health. With few excep-
tions the school houses have perfect sani-
tary arrangements, and this is a point
that eau not be too closely watched.
Supt. Schaefier makes caustic refer
ence to the sharks" who appeared when
the school appropriation was raised to
S5,00O,0O0. Agents for charts, maps and
blocks induced many uniformed school
boards 10 purchase their high-priced
goods. This the superintendent terms
extravaganza, and issues warning
against it.
OF the distribution OF the school appro-
priation the superintendent says: ut
discriminates against the districts which
lack industries TO hold their adult popu-
lation and in favor of the districts to-
ward which the young people gravitate
as soon as their school days are ended.
II is needless TO say this method fails to
carry out the theory which makes it the
duty of the State 10 provide at public ex-
pense equal common school advantages
for all its YOUTH
The teachers employed, according to
Supt. Schaeifer. are rs a rule competent,
and under the present system, only those
properly qualified can secure positions.
The studies are advancing in tone, and
noteworthy feature of the text books is
that they have begun to treat the State
government as of equal Importance with
that Of the Nation.

1t is said that the expense of making
the Companion Art Calendar for 1887 was
50 great that had it been published in the
usual quantity it could not be sold for less
than one dollar. Four beautiful female
figures are reproduced on four folding
pages. Each figure j. autographed in
twelve colors. being a true reproduction
of the original water-color painting,
which was selected because Of its excel
lence of design and charm OF color and
tone The size of each of the four fold
ing pages is I0l by 6 inches.
1t Is by far the best piece OF color work
the Companion has ever offered. Both
as a calendar and as a gem of the litho-
grapher's art, it is 50 attractive that it be-
comes a valuable addition TO the mantle
