believe and accept the doctrine, "In
time OF peace prepare for war;" and
propose an expenditure of $roo,coo.-
900 for coast defenses during the
next ten years. The labor organiza-
tions Of New York have protested
against any expenditure of this kind.
and the people generally concur in
the same view The Geneva arbitra-
tion alabama claims) and the Paris
arbitration on the Bering Sea dispute
are precedents that will determine the
permanent policy between England
and the United States. We believe
in the people and propose to keep
our coast defense for better purpose.
The words of w. +. Gladstone to
London conference to consider this
subject will be read with interest in
this connection:
81 am glad the discussion of arbi-
tration is to be separated from the
Venezuelan question, upon which
do not feel myself in possession of the
facts that should wish. My views
on arbitration in place of war were
gathered from the part l took in the
matter of the Alabama claim. l will
only add that my conviction and sent
iment on the subject grew in strength
from year to year in proportion to the
growth of the monstrous and barbar-
Gus militarism, in regard to which
consider that England has to bear no
small share Of responsibility"

Arbitration and Coast Defenses.

The first public expression upon the
great international questions of the
day may be expected to disclose an
optimistic or pessimistic coloring ac-
cordlng to the sources from which
they proceed, for men are advocates
from sentiments before they are judges
from facts. The united endeavor TO
provide a high court of international
arbitration for the peaceable adjust
meut OF international differences is in
accordance with our highest senti-
ments, and out OF these contentious
history will register the ascendency of
humanity and justice, although the
advance may be much below the pre-
vaIling ideals of this movement.
TO secure peace pesslmistic meas
ures are also advocated. Congressman

Compulsory Education.

The compulsory school law goes
into effect next Su MINER. The law was
passed May I6, 1895, and approved
by the Governor with an explanation.
The different assessors, when making
their Spring assessments for 1896 will
be supplied with an extra book by the
County Commissioners, in which they
are to enter the name, age and resi-
dence of every child in their ward or
township between the age of 8 and Il.
The County Commissioners will
then furnish the school secretaries
with the list of the names. The as
SCISSORS will be allowed pay, but will
not be allowed pay for more than ten
days. After this, every child under
IS years of age will be compelled to
go to school at least I6 weeks in a
year, unless living two miles from
school, physically or mentally disabled,
or receiving private instruction at
home. Each school district will be
allowed to appoint one or more at
tendance officers, whose duty it will
be to apprehend all children playing
uuant.
They are to receive not,,more than
So per day. A room is to be provided,
in which habitual truants are to be
placed. At the end of each month
each teacher shall furnish the secretary
OF the board with a list of all pupils
who have been absent five days or
more without sufficient cause. A
parent trying to evade the law, upon
convection, shall be fined not more
than So for the first offence, or more
than $5 for the second.

Reading Wrinkles.

An Italian scientist, M. Montegazzo
has written an essay on the science
OF wrinkles. He believes ones history
can be largely told by the lines upon
the face. Entering into a description
of the different varieties and their
meanings, he says: Z" Horizontal
lines across the forehead are found
even in children who are ricketts, or
idiots. and that being out in the sun
with the eyes unshaded will produce
them immaturely, but they are natur-
al at 40 or earlier. Vertical lines be-
tween the eyes denote thought and
study. since deep concentration con-
tracts the eyebrows grief and worry
produce the same effect, and. fire.
quently repeated, either leaves a per-
manent fold in. the skin. Arched
wrinkles just about the nose indicate
extreme suffering, either mental or
physical. The earliest wrinkles of all
and the most unavoidable are those
which run down from either side of
the nostril down to the mouth, and
these are produced by smiling and
even by the motion of the jaw in
masticating-a warning to gum
chewers."
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1896-03-19

A member of the Lycoming county
bar says that "we need law author
izing Justices Of the Peace, in case
they find a criminal charge unwarrant-
ed, if it is misdemeanor, to collect
their own and the Constables costs
from the prosecutor and in cases of
felony, from the county. This would
prevent the return of great many
cases to court that are probably made
only because by so doing the Justice
and Constable can get their costs"

FOR FARMERS.

General Booths scheme to colon
izs some of Londons submerged
tenth on farm lands was wise in
purpose and is yet to be scientifically
carried out. The recent movement
in New York city to help the farmer
is quite encouraging. A committee
for promoting agriculture for New
York state has been organized. On
the committee are such men as A. S.
Hewitt, R. F. Cutting, William f.
Dodge, George T. Powell and Pro-
fessor J. P. Roberts of Cornell.
An attempt will be made to inter
est and instruct farmers in more
scientific methods of agriculture and
to carry the blessings of the higher
education into the country. The de-
sire of the promoters is to bring about
a closer and more active cooperation
between the cities and towns and the
country districts. There is no desire
to go to the farmers in the spirit of
missionaries, but as brothers and
helpers. There will be no kid gloved
theorists sent out, but plain, brainy,
warm hearted, practical men. who
understand and love their work. The
farmer needs relief Farming does
not pay as it once did, yet the
farmers are the largest and wealthiest
laboring class in America. These
"lords of the soil should not be
forced by circumstances to be ser
wants, but should agricultural products
continue to decline the average farm

quite as essential that the farmer
should know the chemistry of the soils
and fertilizers as it is for the carpen.
ter to know the strength and grain OF
wood. Let it be urged that live ques.
ton clubs and night experimental
schools be organized for full investi
CATION and free discussion. This age
demands training culture in all human
affairs that are to succeed.

GET WELL& STAY WELL
Get RidOf What Makes You
Sick and Stdu Rid of 1t.

1t is so simple to be well that we wonder
why there are so many sick people,
Come to think about it, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick
If they knew that they could prevent it,
and when they were sick, in some cases
cure themselves. But, so long as we don't
take more care of our health, we shall al
ways be more or less sick.
The simple rules of health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indi-
gestion. Cure it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. A stomach full Of undigested,
fermented. putrid food is the unhealthiest
thing you can think Of
Half our diseases and troubles come
from the polsons of undigested food
More than half Of them could be cured
with Shaker Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when we
think we are sick we are only weaksand a
