PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

1t is pleasant to read of the inter
est taken in their public school by
the people OF Salubria, as shown in
the correspondence in another column.
The people of our sister town, in dis
playing such active concern in that
institution, show themselves to be q
good and high people. All commu.
mites prove to be so who look to their
schools, place them on the high
pedestal and clothe them in pride.
1t indicates patriotism, grandeur and
the Unborn nobility and wisdom out
OF which our nation fashioned itself
and grew The public school is the
ground work of all our greatness; it
Is the breeding ground of good gov
eminent and love of country. With
out it we are nothing, with it we are
all. Dark be the day when the pub
lie school does not hold first place in
hearts OF the people for then the de-
generation which weakens the solidity
OF the state comes. That is why the
gold-socalist, the believer in n wealth
autocracy desires to have doctrines
IN touch with that eventual condition
promulgated in these institutions.
and is sureptitiously and almost in
visibly getting it done and great will
be the people who will not allow it.
lper past remarks on the Macy book
But for the influence of the public
school and the national trait of char
acter generated by it, this country
ere now would have drifted into an
absolute aristocracy. 1t will be only
through the effects, results and in
huences of the public school, con-
Quoted on the existing broad plan,
that this nation will ever be saved
from the iron heel Of imperialism. if
1t is saved. Let the public schools
ever occupy first place, equal with
our country, in our heartsl

THEIR PLATFORMS.

The politicians In Massachusetts
are certainly plain spoken enough
this year, and are not beating about
the bush. They are speaking just
what they think, in their platforms,
no matter how cold, beartless, un-
patriotic, mercenary and grasping it
may show them to be. Knowing
themselves to he shylocks, they throw
of disguise. Craving their pound Of
flesh, they throw aside human feeling
and sentiment and decide TO demand
every ounce and brazen it out. Being
vile, they admit it and tell the world
If il call them relentless sharks, they
care not for its opinion. In this in
stance 1t happens to be adopted by
Massachusetts republicans. Massa-
chusetts democrats will doubtless try
to Guido them. They admit all the
main arguments of the silver men
and incorporate them into their plat
form as the very reason, because Of
the elevating and beneficial results to
the masses, why they don't want any
thing OF the kind in theirs. Notice
particularly the forcible and striking
ly arrogant sentences IN the following
financial plank adopted by the repub
licans OF Massachusetts.
We in Massachusetts belong TO the
creditor class. Hence we insist that there
shall be no money but The best and If
that money has appreciated 100 per cent
we demand that all our debts shall be
paid on that basis. Having fixed things
as we want them, we insist upon keeping
the contracts. and that the credit of the
United States must be maintained Mt any
COST, no matter ii nine-tenths OF the work
ers In the land are working without re-
ward. We stand ready TO denounce any
man or any community that enlertains
An idea that the present premium on gold
should be stricken off
That is not the exnct wording-it
is bedecked with words and sounding
phrases--but no one Understanding
the English language can make any
thing else out of it,

Good roads are glory to any ma
ton, as well as true source of
material prosperity. Germany rec
ognizes this and makes the care of
her roads an important part of her
public economy. Compare the splen-
did roads in the Harz Mountains, for
example, with many of our highways,
and the result is far from gratifying
to national pride. Let US hope that
better roads are coming.

G. W. Hollis gives the Athens
Press man some valuable information
in regard to exterminating squirrels.
A gentleman who was bothered more
or less with these pests, hit upon the
novel and inexpensive plan of clear
ing his place of them by the use oil
concentrated I've. He dissolved the
I've until it was like paste. He then
spread thin coating on chip, small
FIAT stone, or anything at hand, which
could be conveniently placed in the
squirrels hole. When the squirrels
come out they step in the lye. In a
short time their feet begin to burn.
when up sits Mr.. Squirrel, and into
the mouth goes the injured foot, and
there is one squirrel less on the ranch.
Hr. Hollis informant vouches for the
destructive power of I've as a squirrel
destroyer, and as there is considera-
BILE difference in the price of I've and
strychnine and other poisons, it will
cost scarcely anything to experiment.
Lye costs but 10 cents can, while
the cost of strynchnine is about
VI. 90 per ounce. Try I've when the
squirrels come out and see how it
works.

quent stump speakers in the republican

democratic administration with the fl

ing near Frenchburg. Who he asked,
is making any money! If any one is, ]

ABOUT BLUE BIRDS.
What Has Become of the Beautiful Little
Companions of Our Youth.

NNAAA
It's refreshing these days to read some
thing on the editorial page of news
paper besides politics, SO we were de-
lighted Tuesday last to see in the Hunts !
vile Mercury the following:
What has become of the little blue
birds? Every man can remember when
he was boy, seeing the little mother
with her four dainty baby blue eggs in
the cedar post hole; seeing her restless,
anxious tlutter WREN the cruel by came
around. We can also remember the
male bird, darker blue upon his plu-
mage, as he sat in a neighboring post
hole doing picket duty, and often, too,
protecting the nesting, not by rocking
the cradle, but by sitting on it while tie
tired mother bird sought exercise and a
fat delicious worm in the heighboring
brush or cooled her thirst in some brook
Then we can remember the first appear
ance of the fair nesting, first with their
shiny looking feathers in their bald heads.
The chirp of the blue bird was familiar
sound. SO we often wonder while stroll
ing what has become of those beautiful
little companions of our youth. We
would be glad to contribute to fund to
impors some more blue birds. In fact
anything to bring back the memories and
asso siations of youth.

THESE BUGS WOULDN'T BURN.
Bushels of Them Pat In a Roaring stove,
But Crawled Out


From the New York Press.
Harry Clay Norton, of Byron, is sorry
that he went to church last Sunday, and
so is his wife. just before starting he
brought in something less than bushel
of potato bugs and put them in thu
stove; then he built fire in the stove,
and went away without finding out low
well the fire did up the bugs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norton are congenial
people, and they stayed out till evening.
When they opened the door of their
house on returning such moving sight
met their gaze that they came near fan fan
ing down in fit. There were bugs sew
eral inches deep on every bit of furni-
ture, and the floor could not be trodden
on without crushing few dozen assort-
ed potato bugs at every step.
An eyewitness has it that the bugs were
singing Psalm tunes on account of their
escape from cremation, and were rush
ing about shaking hands and winking
their other eye at the poor farmer. and
his wife as they stood dumbfounded
on the threshold of the door. If the
door hadn't opened outward it is doubt
full whether they could have got it open
at all. 1t took a good part of the night
to get the sealebacks out of the house so
that 1t was safe to stay there, and even
then an old stager would make his APP
pearance in the preserve jar or take
trip across the butter plate some days al
forwards.

Iaaho,s aslnklng Mountains

We are told that we are separat ed
from the molten liquid which fills the
interior of the earth by crust of 'earth-
ly matter" which is only eighteen miles
thick, and in some places the crust is
actually believed to be much thinner.
In Idaho, for instance, it would not take
much argument 10 make some of the
biologists believe that it is less than 49,
600 feet to the molten interior outposts
o the globe. The reason that the earth's
shell is believed to be very thin 10 the
region named is the known fact that
some of the greatest mountains in that
state are actually settling down through
it, According to recent measurements,
it has been ascertained that at least four
different peaks in the state mentionC d
are from fourteen to twenty-six feet low
er than they were in 1880. 1t is believ-
edthat these mountains have been grad
ally sinking into the earth for years bus
no cause has as yet been assigned for the
phenom ena,
