a certain hgure had been reached. The
present board, II appears Is disregardlng
this excellent custom. and the salaries
OF several teachers who have been en-
ployed for Onlr few years are greater
than those OF other teachers who have
held positions FOR seven or eight years.
This is an injustice, although the teach
ers whose salaries have thus been rc-
duced DO not complain. feeling. no doubt.
that complaint would result In the board
giving them an opportunity 10 resign.
Some OF the teachers who have been en-
ployed for six or eight years are receiving
the same salaries that have been given
teachers who have worked only one or
two wears. The equalization" or ''regu-
lation" recently made has resulted In
considerable dissatisfaction.

Rules For Living Long.

Sir James Sawyer has been
confdiug the secret of longevity
to a Birmingham audience. Like
so many other secrets, it consists
in "paying attention to a number
Of small details" Here is a
schedule Of them, collected from
the reports of Sir James Sawyer's
lecture:
/. Eight hours sleep.
2. Sleep on your right side.
8. Keep your bed room window
open all night.
4. Have a mat to your bed room
door.
5. Do not have your bedstead
against the wall.
6. No cold bath tub in the
morning, but a bath at the
temperature of the body.
7. Exercise before breakfast.
s. Eat little meat, and see that
it is we'll cooked.
9. (For adults. } Drink no milk.
10. Eat plenty of fat, to feed
the cells which destroy disease
germs.
II. Avoid intoxicants, which
destroys those cells.
IL. Daily exercise in the open
air.
13. Allow no pet animals in
your living rooms. They are apt
to carry about disease germs.
IA. Live in the country if you
can.
Is. Watch the three D's-drink-
ing water, damp and drains.
16. Have change Of occupation.
II. Take frequent aud short
holidays.
1S. Limit your ambition; and.
19. Keep your temper.
Keep all these commandments,
and Sir James Sawyer sees no
reason why you should not live to
be 100.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
il not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
usinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error
is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. 10 find out correctly, set
your urine aside for 2l hour; a
sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect OF DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root. the great kidney
and bladder remedy, is soon real
lied. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. At druggists,
price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail Men,

address to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y. The proprietor of this
paper guarantees the genuineness of

A Word or Two of Good Advice
From q COlored Man.

Mr.. EDITOR: Please G % me
space i'll your paper to give my
colored friends little advice for
the year 1898. Tie first thing to do
is totake your county paper; it will
keep you up with the times, will
make you more kindly thought OF
by the whites and rlore respectable
with ell classes. The county pa
per is sorter like a sign board at
the Cross roads, it tells you where
to 20 and where you are a.swine.
To my white friends I will say
in all courtesy and respect: If you
want your lands worked by the
colored people you must feed and
pay them, settle fair and pay
promptly. You must also protect
them while on your lands. Where
tenants move from one place to
another it is a sign of wrong or
injustice somewhere. Sometimes
it is the white man, sometimes the
colored man. Do not speculate on
your hands, treat them well AMI
nine times out of ten they will stay
with you till The COWS come home.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely. receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
mnnt of other diseases.

VEGETABLE GEMS.
mi Opais and Cocoanut Pearls FOun,
In the Philippines, Though Rarely.

Bamboo Opals and Cocoanut Pearls Found
In the Philippines, Though Rarely.
Among other queer things found in
the Philippines are vegetable gems.
There are not many of them, though.
The bamboo is empty normally. One
might cut open n jungle of the giant
grass and find unaltered hollowness.
But once in IA million times or more ac-
cident brings to light in the bamboo
stem a gem. Nature has nodded into q
lump a little of the f1inty material
which makes the outer stem so hard.
The nodule usually presents the appear
ance Of III opal, and several specimens
are in the museums which reproduce
the characteristic lines of that gem.
These nodules are known as tabaceer.
1t is interesting to note hat the first
chemical and meteorological examina.
ton of them was made by the James
Smithson whose munifcence establish
ed the first of the scientific bureaus of
the American government.
In the condition in which the fruit is
known in the United States the milk
i'll the cocOanut is considered it's only
content. The really ripe nut, however,
is filled with a white spongy mass, rich
i'll the finest oil which the nut produces.
This sponge is exposed to the hot sun
for two or three days in a wooden
trough until thoroughly pulped. The
last of the oil is then extracted by
squeezing the soft sponge in the hands.
Very rarely this careful handling has
developed the presence of small spheres
which have much of the luster of the
pearl. Eight or ten of these ~cocoanut
pearls, all discovered in the Philip
pines, are treasured i'll European muse
ums. They range from the size of a pin
head to that OF a very small pea.-New

England's national flag has been
called ga triplet of crosses, :" for it is
composed of the cross of st. George, the
cross of st. Andrew and the cross OF
st. Patrick. Thus: The flag of st.
George for merrie England, " a red cross
on a white ground, the red lines drawn
straight from top to bottom and from
side to side; the flag of st. Andrew for
Scotland, "a white cross on Il blue
ground; the flag of st. Patrick for Ire.
land, a red cross on a white ground, the
narrow red lines drawn from corner tc
corner. By placing the cross of st.
George OF that of St. Andrew we have
"the Jack" as ordered i'll 1906 by
James l, whose signature was always
Jacques" hence the expression, 1.-THE
jack" By laying the cross of st. Pat.
rick over that OF st. Andrew and then
placing that of st. George over both,
we have ''the union jack" as borne
since the union with Ireland in 1907
