FOR THE sCHOOL-TEACHER.
Reverses All Predecessors on De-
cisiOn Regarding Salaries.

TOPEKA, Kan, March S0.--A school
house in Reno county was burned
down, throwing the teacher out of en-
ployment The teacher demands pay
for the full term and a member of the
school board and l. L, Dayhoff, the
county uperintendent, have written
State Superintendent Stryker asking
if the district is liable for the full
terms wages. Stryker referred the
matter to George r. Smelling, assist
ant attorney general, who rendered
an opinion that if no provision was
made in the contract to the
contrary, and if, after the teacher
had made reasonable effort to secure
another school, he had failed to do so,
the district would be compelled to pay
wages for the full term, whether there
was school or not. The same decision
would hold in cases where schools are
dismissed on account of contagious
diseases. Smelling says the board
should make provision against such
emergencies in the contract. This de-
cision is in opposition to all former
ones along this life.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 3O.-The
feeding in transit privilege on live
stock is not to be withdrawn by the
railroads on April 1 in the state of
Kansas. Two months ago the rail-
roads announced that because of the
manipulation of expense bills by ship
pers they would charge full local rates
for the reshipment of cattle to the
Kansas City market which were
stopped in transit for the purpose of
being fed and fattened. The Santa
Fe and Rock Island railroads served
notice on all the other Kansas City
lines to-day that they had decided not
to withdraw the privilege. This action
will force all competing roads into line.

Spain have also been ordered to hold
themselves in readiness for hurried
call
The levee at Shawneetown, Ill,
broke at six o'clock on the evening OF
the Sd and the water shot through the
opening, sweeping everything before
it. Houses were tossed about like
boxes and 200 people were said to be
drowned and it was feared the number
would reach to nearly 1000. The
water stood from 20 to 80 feet all over
the town and there were no lights or
fires after the catastrophe and it was
impossible to get definite information
during the night.
M. WHEREABOUTS, his three children,
sister and brother-in-law were drowned

Spring Medicine
A Good Blood Purifier d Neces--

Hoods SarsapariIIa UnequaIIed for
Making Rich, Red Blood.

The necessity for taking good Spring
Medicine to purify the blood and build up
the system is based upon natural and I'M
avoidabe causes. In cold weather there
has been less perspiration and impurities
have not passed out of the system as they
should. Food has consisted largely Of
rich, fatty substances, and there has been.
less opportunity for outdoor exercise.
The result is, the blood is loaded with i'm
purities and these must be promptly ex-
PEELED or health will be endangered.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best Springs
Medicine because it is the best blood
purifier and tonic. 1t thoroughly purities
the blood and gives vigor and vitality.

THOSE MORRO CASTLES.
How So Many of Them Happened to
BE In Cubn-MeaninS st
the Name.

Readers of war news must be struck
by the number of "Gorro castles with
which our forces have to deal. Ha.
vana's fort of that name is the best
known building in Cuba. When Ad-
miral Sampson went down to Puerto
Rico to shake up the Spaniards there
the principal fortifeation he had to
deal with was another Moro castle.
And now comes word of an attack 10y
American warships on a third Moro
castle at Santiago de Cuba, the most
important port in the southeastern
part of the island. Some readers have
probably wondered how it happened
that no such castles were encountered
at Matanzas, Cardenas and Cienfue-
gos.
The explanation of this occurrence
of the name MORO castle" is found
in the fact that the word MORO"
means "promontory.' Many of the
harbors of Cuba are remarkable land
locked bays, opening to the sea
through narrow channels. usually long
ard deep. They are shaped somewhat
like a mans hand. with the fingers
more or less spread and the wrist re-
duced in size. At Havana, Santiago
and some other ports, one side of the
channel connecting the inner bay with
the sea ends in bold, rocky headland.
The opposite point IS lower ard less
conspicuous. Where the higher and
sleeper angle of the shore, between
the channel of the harbor entrance on
one side and the open sea on the other.
is crowned by an elaborate fort, form
idable in the times when it was erect
ed, this fortification is usually and nat
urally named Moro castle, or "the
Castle of the Promontory."
At Cienfuegos there is no such fort,
although the harbor is one of the
typical bays of the Cuban coast, with
a narrow entrance. One reason is that
the city is comparatively new, and it
has become a place of Importance
since the era when Spain fortified her
American possessions with the mas
sive and picturesque stone castles
which modern artillery has rendered
nearly useless. Besides, the shores
are much lower there than at Santiago,
or even Havana. San Juan, the chief
city of Puerto Rico, has plenty of
room for a Castle of the Promon-
tory" and it was natural that there
should be "Morro castle to fight at
that port. Matanzas and Cardenas are
on rather low parts of the coast, and
the latter is a small place. So they
have no MORO castle"
This explanation is sufficient to
show why the name made familiar by
Havana's picturesque old fort is ap-
pea1ing continually in the dispatches
and why it is necessary to discriminate
between the various MORO castles"
which figure in the news of the day

OLD FLOORS TO MEND.
How to Do Away with Summer n~sta
and FIJI Up the unsightly
Cracks.

When the winter floor coyeringI are
cleanliness is the result, too often an
unsightly stretch of board is presented
to view. Flooring in any except the
best built modern houses is so often i'll
laid that the house keeper is puzzled
how to conceal the small chasms be-
tween the planks. Rugs are costly, and
to paint or yarnish a struggling floor
is loves labor almost lost.
Common sense advises her to fill up
the cracks, but how-not with putty?
There is a better plan than that. Gath
er up all the letters from the waste pa
per basket, until there is big bag full ,
enough paper to stun couple of big
sofa cushions. Set the idle or willing
members of the family to shredding
into bits the paper board. This ac-
complished, pile the tatters into pot
with water and cook it. To every quart
of paper and water add a handful of
gum arabic, and let the whole simmer
to very thick, thick cream.
The sequence is easily guessed. The
mixture must be put hot in The cracks,
well packed and neatly smoothed
When cold it is ready for the coat of
floor paint. and as hard as the rest of
the boards; for it is really nothing more
or less than papier mache, and every
one knows what a tough article that
is.
Cracks in floors are altogether too
great temptation for insects, so it Is
best to do away with the possibility of
their proving a harbinger by adding a
little paris green to the paper filling.
This poison will Danish entirely the
hdeous water beetles that often infest
even the e.eanest Kitchens and bath
rooms. Care must be taken to keep it
away from children and pet animals, as
it is very poisonous. a little, mixed
with sugar, and put on old plates or
saucers over night. and used once or
twice season, will be all that is re-
auired. Those familiar with country
life know what boon this green paint
has been to farmers in Kidding them of
the ubiquitous potato beetle, and there
is no reason why the housekeeper
should fear this ammunition ii used in
telligently.
There is yet another hint as to the
placing of this poison. Those who have
studied the habits Of the eroton or
water beetles know how they are routed
Immediately by light, and how like a
fash they disappear. Their fortress, or
home, is generally ct the base of the
kitchen water and sink pipes. and it is
behind these that they scud up and
down so mysteriously. Forewarned is
forearmed. There is little use in de-
stroying a few insects upstairs while
allowing them to multiply below.-Kan-
sas City Star.
