SALARIES.

The question Of salaries, in view of
tt hard times, has been distressing
one. We find by an examination of
the salaries at other places, in the
states, that as to superintendent. prin-
cipal Of high schools, assistants, prin-
cipal of ward schools and special
teachers, the salaries at Ell Paso are
much lower while the cost of living is
30 per cent higher. Also Ell Pa5o be-
ing remote from educational centers or
advanta- es, where schools Of methods
are located, teachers are obliged to
pay 100 per cent more on an avera ge
than teachers elsewhere for going and
returning. For these reasons. the sal
aries OF regular assistant teachers are
paced some higher than at other
places in the state. In other words,
the salaries OF sUperint endent, princi
pals and special tea hers are placed
lower than at any otter place iu the
state, while regular assistants are a
little higher-the general average be-
ing below the salaries of all parallel
schools in Texas. The salaries of the
teachers in the common school depart
ment are raised at the expense of the
High school, principals and special
teach ers, by which we have ben able
to maintain a splendid corps of teach
ers in the past in all the departments.
By the trea5urer's statement and es-
innate for the ensuing year, we find
that the income for the maintenance of
the schools for the ensuing year is

A Bat In q Tomb.

A queer story is told of naturalist
who died in 1860 and was buried at
Blankney, in Lincolnshire. Among his
pets was large gray bat.
This bat was permitted to enter the
tomb and was sealed up alive with the
corpse of his dead master. In 1866 the
vault was opened, and to the surprise
Of all the bat was alive and fat.
On four different occasions since the
relatives of the dead man have looked

was still in the land Of the living, al
though occupying quarters with the
dead. 1t was last seen in 1802.-Pear-
