school Entertainment.

The eight months term of school in
District No. Z, Penn township, taught by
John Richards, closed Friday evening
last with an exhibition, which if not the
best ever seen there, it was really ex'
ceptionally fine, presenting as it did,
several unique features. Not the least
of which was Mr.. Byland's Talking Ma
chine, that, under the skillful manipu.
lation of Will Coffman, rendered many
vocal and instrumental pieces of music,
besides speeches of distinguished men
and comic dialogues, in manner that
delighted everyone. OF course there
were the usual recitations, readings and
school songs, all of which were we'll de
livered, and this is remarkable, as we
are told there we're but two meetings of
the school for drill. This goes to show
that Mr.. Richards was "the right man in
the right place" And we are glad to
add that the school officers are of that
opinion as is shown by their re employ.
ing him for the next session. While we
are sorry we have not space to mention
every one who contributed to the success
of the entertainment, we must refer to
the splendid work of Henry Knots.
This talented young gentleman gave four
superlatively excellent numbers. He
kept the whole house in roar from his
first sentence to his last In word the
exhibition will be remembered long by
those 30 fortunate as to be present.

Getting Out of q Difficulty.

Mr. N, struggling lawyer in
a small town in Ohio, received call,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, from
farmer who wanted legal advice. Mr..
N took down a much-used vol
ume from his small bookcase and gave
the required advice for which he
charged the modest sum of three dol
lars. His client handed him five
dollar bill. With a troubled look Mr..
N flushed in the face as he passed
his fingers nervously through his
pockets and his embarrassment in
creased as he continued his search
among the papers on his desk. "Well," "
said he, taking down the law book
again and turning over the pages
"I'll give you two more dollars worth
of advice"

MORTALITY IN THE ARMY.
Soldering the Safest Profession in the
World

As it is by no means impossible
that all ablebodied Enghshmen may
have, in the near future, to become de-
tenders of their country, it IS reassur-
ing to learn, on the authority of sts-
tisticians, that soldering is about the
least dangerous profession in the
world.
Protestant clergymen are popular
ly supposed 70 be the best male ''ive
going. But they die at rate of nearly
IL per thousand each Year, while the
British army shufies off this mortal
coil at a rate of less than five per thou
sand. Even ladies' maids, who have
usually life of great comfort and lit
tie work, die faster than this, depart
ing this life at the rate of eight per
thousand.
It might well be supposed that the
troops who do as much fighting as the
British soldiers abroad would be car
ried off in large numbers. This was
true in the past, when the conditions
favored disease, but in these days war
is by no means as dangerous. For in
stance, in all our wars of the past 20
years the death rate on the battlefield
has been only Is per thousand per
annum.
Now solicitors cannot be said to be
engaged in very risky work, yet they
depart hence at the rate of 16 per
thousand per annum. Roman Catho-
lie priests die at the rate of 1S per
thousand, and cabmen at the rate Of
26 per thousand. Your chances Of
death, then, if you become a cabman,
are five times as great as if you join the
army at home, and nearly twice as
great as if you form part Of the fight
ing forces in India or Africa. And
there are scores Of trades-such as
lead working, glass-blowing, match
making, public-house keeping, etc
ever so much more dangerous to life
than cab drving.-London Mail.

BILLS OF FARE.
Duke Henry Of Brunswick Invented the
Menu Card.

The menu was not invented in
France. It was Duke Henry of Bruins
wick who was first observed in the in
tervals of banquet to scan carefully
long strip of paper by the side of his
plate. When the curious guests ven
tured to inquire into the nature of his
studies he explained that it was sort
of programme of the dishes which he
had commanded from the cook, to the
intent that If some delicacy which es-
pecially appealed to him were marked
for a late stage in the repast he might
carefully reserve his appetite for it.
The simplicity and beauty of the idea
appealed instantly to the good dukes
convives, and the menu card from
that moment became an institution.
In the old-fashioned form the menu
was usually written large, on cards, of
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end of the table In the medieval
dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was a mine of sur
prises. It was divided into courses,
but whereas nowadays the diner has
a general idea that fish will follow
soup, and that entree is succeeded by
relieve, and can conceive generally the
sort of demand that each course will
make upon his appetite and digestion,
there was no possible arguing as to
what was going to happen at an early
English dinner, and close study fails
to reveal the existence of any princi-
pie of arrangement Invention.

A GREAT many Republicans are

cause he has seen fit to appoint color

but such criticism will only serve to
increase the number of colored men

Colored men who voluntarily offer
their service in defense of the flag
