The second fioor has two schoolrooms of the same dimen- sions as those on the first floor, and chapel or assembly hall 26 feet 6 inches wide and v feet long, and from hoor to ceiling it is b feet. The hall has convenient stage and is used for school entertainments and us an assc.-bly hall for the entire school. The exterior of the building presents solid and at tractive appearance.
 The building was completed in ls95. in time to open school in October, and three rooms were used, but by the end of the term more room was wanted. as well as another teacher. In 1876 four rooms and four teachers were needed to fully accommodate the needs of the school. Another teacher will be needed in a few years, but the problem of room for the pupils has been solved for at least the next ten years.
 The trustees or tDlS ulStflcl nave used, Us rule. good judgment in the selection of teachers and each school year has seen an improvement in the standing Of the pupils over the preced- ing year. The salaries paid the teach CTS are reasonable and it is the desire of each teacher that every dollar paid them be returned fourfold to the par ents of the pupils in the interest taken in the instruction of the children. While the parent or the child may not realize it, the teacher has much to do with the moulding of the mind of the child that in af CT life will affect it for good or evil.
 The present principal of the school is D. A. Drew, an experienced and pains- taking educator. The grammar grade teacher is Miss Grace Dutton. who is now teaching her second year. Miss Mary Hennessy has charge of the inter- mediate department - for the third

If life were one long summer day and Its
journey through a garden of flowers, 1t
might be possible for people to be careless
of their health without fearing evil results.
Unfortunately. since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden life has
no, been toiless journey through garden
of flowers. Man must earn bread by the
sweat of his brow. and woman must bring
forth children in pain and suffering
In both cases the curse is multiplied
many times over because both men and
women neglect their health. Mans toll IS
rendered a thousand times harder by the
added burden of ill-health. The woman is
a still greater sufferer. She suffers IN 81
lence untold agonies from weakness and
disease i'll a womanly way. Motherhood
becomes to her menace OF death, and her
babes are born with the seeds of disease
already implanted i'll their little bodies.
There is but one unfaling remedy for wom-
en- who suffer in this way. tits DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that bear
the brunt of maternity. 1t makes them
strong healthy, vigorous. virile and elastic.
1t allays Inflammation, heals liberation,
soothes pain and tones and builds UP the
tortured nerves. 1t fits for wifehood and
motherhood. II does away with the trials
of the period of apprehension and makes
baby's advent easy and almost painless.
Thousands have testified to its marvellous
merits.
Il was afflicted fer fonr years with local weak
ness, but would not confess it for time writes
Mrs. Beulah Woodall. of Batenan. Patrick Co,

and Golden Medical Discovery and they cured
me. I cannot praise Dr. Pierce's medicines
too much" .

IIFE'S PHILOSOPHY.

| liz younger u Illal IL tIlc lnOIc III
has to unlearn.
Our mistakes contribute much to
the wisdom of others.
Every dog has his day, but, like
men, they always want two.
Time is caught by the tail more
frequently than by the forelock.
For every dollar man wins on fast
horses he loses two on slow ones.
Every man knows how a wife should
be managed, but few are able to do it.
When a woman loves man she
loves to make him believe she doesn't.
Youth is going to do things to-
morrow that old age didn't do yester.
day.
A great many of the thoughts man
has to-day appeared in yesterdays
newspaper.
The trouble with the disagreeable
things people say about us is that most
of them are true.
A man never realizes the worthless
ness of his earthly possessions until he
tries to pawn them.
When man isn't willing to practice
what he breaches it's about time for
him to give up preaching.
Whenever some husbands and wives
agree it is to the effect that they made
a serious mistake in marrying.
1t is said that men who never drink,
smoke or stay out late at night live to
a ripe old age. Perhaps that's their
punishment.
What Naval Officers Must Know.
A curious thing about naval officers
is the vast amount of requirements
they are expected to have. Every
line officer is now required to be an
expert seaman, navigator, gunner
and torpedoist, international lawyer
diplomat, electrician, engineer, geo.
grapher, astronomer and surveyor
He can specialize in any of these
branches that he chooses, but is not
likely to get much thanks for it if he
does, and certainly no promotion OF
other substantial reward. If fortune
has gifted him with the genius to in.
vent, he has rocky way before him
His inventions, even if patented, stand
a chance of hcing confscated by the
government without pay or gratuity
and himself looked upon askance by
his comrades because he has imposed
upon them the study of other things
in addition to those which theil
multiple duties compel them to learn
and understand about. In fact, the
naval officer who desires to pas,
through life in the easiest possibl.
way finds his best course is simple
mediocrity. Most of the officers o.
the navy who distinguish themselve,
by any particular inventive or literary
ability get little out OF it.

The common objection among
womankind to letting their ages be
known is not shared by the women Of
Japan, who actually display their age
in the arrangement of their hair.
Girls from nine to fifteen wear their
hair interlaced with red Grape DIES.
cribing half-circle around the head,
the forehead being left free with a
curl at each side. From fifteen to
thirty, the hair is dressed very high on
the forehead, and put up at the back
in the shape OF a fan or butterfly,
with interlacing of silver cord and a
decoration of colored balls. Beyond
thirty, a woman twists her hair
around shell pin, placed horizontally
at the back of the head. Widows also
designate themselves and whether or
not they desire to marry again.

Two POINTED QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, SO that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prom
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public
will very quickly pass judgment on
them and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years
and have found that it can always be
depended upon. They may OCCASION

claims, but are certain to return to

reliable, and for coughs, colds and
