same time Mrs. Martha Sweeney who is
visiting at Mr.. Sweeney's was in the
kitchen but fortunately for her she only
received slight shock and got her
hair singed. The rest of the family were
in the dining room and very strange to
say, with the balls of fire darling here and
there through the room, no one got hurt.
But to say they were scared, is putting
it mildly. A newspaper lying under the
table in the same room was burnt to d
crisp.

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Cattarrh being constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list oftestimonials.

Free Textbook Law.

The State board of education has pre-
pared number of opinions upon points
in the new free text book law which goes
into operation in the counties in Maryland
with the school term just beginning
The first supply of text books under the
new law, in the opinion of the State board,
should be secured by competitive bid
ding, but after this the matter of competl-
tive bidding is in the discretion OF the va
rious boards of county school c"mmlss-
toner's.
A contract for furnishing text books
made by any of the county school boards
previous to the passage of the new law
does not bind these county boards, it is be
lieved, with reference to textbooks pur-
chased with funds received by the county
under this new law.
Copv-books are not regarded by the
State board as text books, and should not
in its opinion, be purchased with money
received under the provisions of the free
textbook law.
Prof. E. B. Prettyman. State superin-
tendent of public instruction, is also of
the opinion that moneys received under
the provisions of the new law may be used
for the payment of expenses in the hand
ling and distributing of free text books to
the schools.
He has prepared series of rules for the
care and distribution of the free text
books. Under these rules the principal of
each school is to make requisition upon
the secretary of the county school board
for the textbooks needed for his school,
and will be held responsible for them and
required to report upon them ten days be-
fore the close of each term. In the same
manner the principal is to distribute the
books to each teacher, holding them re-
sponsible for them and requiring report
from them.
Before the books are given to the pupils
the books will be protected by a cover,
supplied by the school boards, with labels
pasted in them. giving the number, dis
trict and county of the school, with admo-
nitions for the proper care of the books.
Text books may be taken home by the pu-
pills whenever the teacher thinks it neces-
sary for the preparation of lessons. Pu-
pills destroying or injuring a text book
will be deprived of the privileges of the
school until the book is replaced or paid

GladneSS Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills. which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle etforts-plcasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge. that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to constipated condl-
ton of the system. which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
Nv removes. That is why it is the on y
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes Internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine arti-
cle which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health.
and the system is regular. laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
NAV be commended to the most skillful
physicians. but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
