WHAT PRESIDENTS COST.

Sums Appropriated by the United States
and France.
Presidents "come high, but we have
got to have them" 1t costs US $114,'
865 year for a chief executive.
His salary is $4,000 and "found,
as our western neighbors say. The
presidents finding is rather compre'
hensive, covering about every possible
requirement of q family. His private
secretary, the clerks, the doorkeepers,
messengers and steward, and three
other servants, cost US $685. 1865 year.
Then there is a contingent fund of $S,-
900 a year, which the president may
use according to his discretion.
In furniture and repairs to the
White House, the sum of $4,000
more, to be used by the direction OF
the president, is provided by the ma.
ton and is always expended. For
fuel alone $4,000 is allowed, and for
necessary repairs to the greenhouse
there is $4,000.
Altogether, the presidential "6nd-
ing" annually amounts to the snug
sum of $64,s65, nearly $4,000 more
than his salary. The two aggregate
$114,S65. This is an imposing aggre-
gate, but it is small compared with
other presidents. The president ol
the French republic receives as salary
1920, 900 year; $92, ,4SO for contingent
purposes, and a handsome house, rent
free. So we get our president rather
cheaply.-Boston Journal.

nine months. After the teacher pays
living expenses for ~ months, buyf
clothes and pays necessary expenses,
there is not much left for going off to
normal schools. Of necessity there
will not be much money left out of the
salary to go to normal schools. In the
present state of the finances of the
public schools we are about of the opin-
ion that it would be more profitable to
take the money spent for these normal
schools and put it into the public
school fund. Of course those who are
to teach in these schools will be strong
advocates of them but we do not be-
lieve those who are ostensibly to be
benefited by them will reap much
profit, and the great mass of the teach
ers will be unable to take advantage
of them. To make attendance com.
pulsory would. result in failure for the
reasons we have given.-Newberry
Herald and News.

LINCoLN's "SELFIsHNEss." - Mr..
Lincoln once remarked to fellow pas
senger on the old.time mud wagon
coach, on the corduroy road which an
tedated railroads, that all men were
prompted by selfishness in doing good
or evil. His fellow passenger was an
tagonizing this position when they
were passing over a corduroy bridge
that spanned slough. AS they cross
ed this bridge and the mud wagon was
shaking like sucker with the chills,
they espied an old razor-backed SOW
on the bank of the slough making a
terrible noise because her pigs had got
into the slough and were unable to get
out, and in danger of drowning. AS
the old coach began to climb the bill
side Mr.. Lincoln called out, "Driver,
can't you stop just moment?" The
driver replied, eff the other feller

that time "Colonel" E. D. Baker, the
gallant general who gave his life in de.
fence of Old Glory at Balls Bluf-did
not object, when Mr.. Lincoln jumped
out, ran back to the slough, and began
to lift the little pigs out of the mud
and water and place them on the
bank. When he returned Colonel
Baker remarked, "Now Abe, where
does selfshness come in on this epi.

that suffering old SOW worrying over
those pigs. 1 did it to get peace of

How MUCH DID JUDAS RECEIVE
The coin most frequently discovered
by excavators in Jerusalem, Bethle
hem and other places in the Holy
Land is a silver piece slightly heavier
than our dime. 1t is of pure meta
and is now worth Is cents as bullion
It is not known to certainty what the
exact value of each of the "thirty
pieces of silver' was which Judas re-
ceived for the betrayal of the Savior
but it is believed that the coin men
toned above was of the kind in which
he was paid. If this is true, and the
historians and numismatists are in
clined to give the weight of theil
opinion in it's favor, Judas only re-
ceived the small sum of $500 for com
mitting the blackest crime known ir
all history.

TOMATOES on Stills.

Set the plants three feet apart in the
row, and as they grow trim off all the
leaves up to the first fruit stem, and
then leave the next two suckers OF
prongs that come out above it.
Now get some stakes or poles about
eight feet long and sharpen the lower
ends and set them in the row-one at
each plant and one on each side of it,
a foot from it. Tie up the main stalk
to its stake, cutting out all suckers as
it grows, leaving only the leaves and
fruit stems. Take the aforesaid two
suckers that were left, and as they
grow tie them up to the stake on each
side, and treat each of them as sep
arate vine, tieing it up to its stake and
pruning as it grows.
By this process we can get more
fruit and better than by any other we
have ever tried !; and the fruit is soon
up out of reach of predatory chickens
that come in (from your neighbors,) of
course. Some varieties do not stand
this treatment 30 well as others. l
find that we get our best results from
the acme and its kindred varieties.
In order to set the stakes 30 firm
that they will stand the winds and
rains, we use a piece of hard wood
about two and one-half feet long, ia.
pered to a point at one end and having
hole bored through near the other,
in which we put a cross stick for
handle. We call the thing a spud.
We drive this into the ground where
we want our stakes, about one to one
and one-half feet, and then taking
hold of the handle, work it back
and forth a little, and give it a twist
and pull. We have nice hole into
which we force our stakes as firmly as
we can and tramp the soil around the
stake on the surface. Stakes thus put
in will stand firm all season and hold
up your fruit nicely. BY this process
you keep your vines in reasonable
space, and when your fruit begins to
ripen you have all kinds; from the
punches of ripe fruit below up through
all grades to the bloom and the vines
will bear until frost closes the scene.
This process is intended for small crops
of course, it is not adapted to field cul-
ture.

that Partisan writers always put their

such fidelity that when the board was
put into a pond of water it sunk like
stone."

DANGER In SODA.-Common soda
is all right in its place and indispensa.
BILE in the kitchen and for cooking and
washing purposes; but it was never
intended for a medicine, and people
who use it as such will some day re.
gret it.
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
habit which thousands of people
practice almost daily, and one which
is fraught with danger moreover, the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri.
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels, and cases are on record where
it accumulated in the intestines causing
death by Inflammation or peritonitis.
