The public will observe that the apporton.
ment is very much smaller in some school
districts for the present year than for the
past. This is due to several causes. TO VIII:

draft was deducted from the present appor-
tionmeut. In some districts fewer pupils
have been reported, the total number or chill
dren, however, has been increased which de-
creased the per capita rate.
The main cause of q decrease In fund is the
fact that the apportionment for last year

Truth and Fiction.

"Struwwelpeter, one of the pic
lures, represents little maiden. supine
in bed, very ill-and no wonder-with
an immense cherry tree growing out of
her mouth. This was the sad result of
swallowing the stones along with the
fruit, in spite of all warnings. But we
all know that truth is stranger than
fiction, and the Petersburgskaya Gazeta
of June &c and July 8, 1897, quotes the
following exemplification of this saying
from the foreign papers:
"a little girl years of age, Amelia
L., whose father worked at the sawmills
in Belgard (Ain). was at play the other
day, when she managed to push the
seed of a plane tree deep into her ear.
Shortly after she began to experience
acute pains, and it was found that the
seed had taken root in the waxy secre-
lions of the ear and was growing apace.
The father proceeded to cautiously up
root the intrusive plant, and the girl
has now recovered"
If this story is true, it is to be hoped
that Miss Amelia L., now that her ear
is once more free and in working order.
will incline it to hearken to the exhorta-
tions of her elders and will not go on
planting plane trees in such obviously
uncongenial soil.-Notes and Queries.

A Bag Full of Breath.

The pueumatophor, an Austrian
invention for enabling miners. firemen,
ETC., to breathe when surrounded by
after damp, smoke or noxious fumes of
any kind, consists of an alright rubber
bag containing a steel bottle of pure
oxygen at a pressure of 100 liters and n
metal protected glass bottle containing
a 20 per cent solution of caustic soda.
The oxygen can be admitted by a hand
screw into the bag and drawn into the
mouth through a rubber tube, the nose
being closed by clip The turn of an
other hand screw breaks the glass bottle,
allowing the caustic soda to flow out
and be absorbed by knitted network
in the bag to absorb the carbonic acid
exhaled, allowing the oxygen to be re-
breathed, the apparatus being capable
of furnishing oxygen enough to last
from 30 to 80 minutes, as has been at
tested by numerous experiments.

Position In Society.

To all those who spend their time
wondering how other people live we
would suggest that an examination of
the plaintiffs petition in the case of
Schneider versus Hosier, 81 Ohio st.
9S, might throw some light ON the sub
ject. 1t was suit under civil damage
act, and the plaintiff alleged in her pc
tition that she Twas the wife of one
Zimri Hosier, on whose good conduct,
frugality and personal labor she was
dependent for the support of herself and
their seven minor children, for the
proper culture and moral training of
the latter, and, to a good extent, for
her OVID position in society. The said
Zimri Hosier. when not intoxicated or
laboring under the effects of intorica-
ton, was an industrious laboring man
and regularly earned and received for
his labor 81. so a day" There's man.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
Ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

everv Ru,,e. n, Own doctor.

In spite of the terrible increase in the
destructiveness of modern warfare the
tendency of the times is to make a con-
flict as humane as practicable. For this
reason the use OF copper covered bullets
has been frowned upon, and a Philadel-
phia physician has plan that he claims
will wonderfully mitigate the suffering
CT man whose body has been perforat-
ed by the modern small caliber bullet.
1t is we'll established that the velocity
and penetrating force of these bullets
are SO great that unless they chance to
strike a bone they will pass entirely
through mans body without his know
ing it. The physicians idea is to attach
a small wad of aniseptic cotton to the
rear of the bullet. This would be cover
ed by the shell of the cartridge and
could not interfere with loading or fir
ing AS the bullet passes through per-
son the wad will antisepticize the wound
and prevent consequent suppuraticn. 1t
may be possible to SO nicely adjust the
adhesion of the wad to the bullet that
as the missile passes out it will leave
the wad to plug the hole and stop bleed
ing. Ultimately this system might do
away with the necessity of large med
ical corps, as each bullet would carry
medical treatment for the. unfortunate
it wounded. -Philadelphia Record.
