WHAT ALLIED THE SAW.
An Old Story Applied to Road OFF,
cials Who Know Nothing About
Their BusinesS.

Several townships in the vicinity OF
Laconia, n. II, are said to be dissatis-
fed with the new system of maintain.
ing the highways and wish to go back
to the old highway district system.
The Laconia Democrat says the new
system is all right and adds: Some OF
the towns near here are loud in their de
nunciations of the present law, but
come to investigate it is either case
where no money is raised or like the
man and the saw. A carpenter went to
a professional saw-filer with hand
saw 70 be fixed; the professional joint
cd, set it and filed it. In short time the
carpenter came back and said he: This
saw don't go right The old filer joint
ed it again and filed it as well as he
could. The next morning the carpenter
came back with the saw, and in the
same languages: This saw don't go
right The professional took 1t, put on
his glasses and sawed off several pieces
of timber and 1t cut true and very nice
ly. He handed It back to the man and
said he: The trouble is not so much
with the saw as the burned fool that
runs IT. Where the law does not work
right it is not the fault of the law but
the men that run it; thousand times
rather shift officers than vote to go
back"

' BEAUTY AND THE BATH.
Tepid or Cold Water Very Good foI
Maintaining the Purity OF
the Complexion.

The complexion is one Of the points
that are noted first III woman's ap-
pearance. The bath is valuable aid
to the necessary purity of the skin,
but, like all beneficial processes, it is
liable to abuse. The hot bath especially
is misused to a great extent A warm
bath, as distinct from hot one, is sell
dom injurious, but the safest is the
tepid or the quite cold one. The test is
a simple one. If, after cold bath,
when the skin is dried the surface of
the body glows with heat and is suf-
fused with a pink tint, all is well. But
if this reactionary warmth fails to re-
spond to vigorous rubbing with the
towels the bath is injurious. A chill
often follows the hot bath, which proves
how dangerous it is. If chill follows
the cold bath it must be abandoned at
once and the tepid tried. Much de-
ponds upon circulation, whether it be
brisk or sluggish. If the former, the
cold bath may almost certainly be ven
tured upon with uniformity and be-
come daily delight. But if the circu-
lation be slow and defective a large
can of hot water should be added to the
cold Only short time should be al
lowed to the bath proper, whether hot,
warm, tepid or cold; but the drying
process should be thorough and Yigor-
ous.-Mrs. Humphrey, in Ladies' Home
Journal.

Round Tables Again.

For luncheons, afternoon teas and
evening suppers nothing compares in
favor or effectiveness with the polished
table. Indeed, it may be said that
polished tables, round, square or OBJ
long, are the fad of the hour. They
are, of course, made the background
for beautiful lace effects, in center
pieces, large and small doilies. New
mahogany may be aged by processes
that are known to furniture dealers,
and defaced or dull woods may be re-
newed and polished. A top 60 inches
in diameter will seat seven or even
eight comfortably, and one 70 inches
will seat ~. A large dolly is placed
at each cover, and every article on the
table excepting the silver and glasses
at the individual covers) has something
under it proportional to its size. These
bits of lace or openworis, with the CEN
terpiece, flowers, brilliant crystal, sill
yer and fine china, give an effect as
striking as it is pleasing.-Ella Morris
Kretschmar, in Woman's Home Com
panion.

THE CRIME OF '99.

There is a farmer out in Kentucky, a
free silver farmer at that, who believes
that a greater financial crime has been
committed in the year 1899 than the in
famous ''crime of '73." This farmer has
recently told his tale of woe to the Louis
vile Evening Post. He says that back
Wonder in 1896 he had mortgage on his
farm and no money with which to pay IT.
Those who were fortunate enough to have
little money to lend could easily dispose
of it at 10 per cent. interest. This was the
time, says he, when the Money Devil
flourished and squeezed the last dollar out
of his every debtor, all of which was due
to the horrible "crime of 49, to the
striking down of half the redemption
money of this country, thereby doubling
the values of the moneys of the rich.
But a great change has come. In spite
of the gold standard this Kentucky farmer
has managed somehow to pay off the mort
gage on his farm, and not only SO, but to
accumulate handsome surplus. Instead
of being borrower he now has money to
lend. Having money to lend he has re-
Gently been casting about for borrowers.
He found neighboring farmer who need
ed little money and was disposed to bor-
row. He told his neighbor that he was a
man of generous impulses, always ready to
help friend out of hole, and that he
would let him have few thousand dollars
for his accommodation and would only charge
him 10 per cent. interest on the loan. To
his utter surprise the neighbor did not
show any gratitude or enthusiasm, but,
on the contrary, great surprise at the rate
of interest demanded. "Why," said he,
81 can borrow all the money 1 want at
bank for per cent, and some Of the banks
are charging only five. If you cannot
come down to that rate, will goto the
bank for my loan, for the bank now has
money to burn
Hence the tale of woe of the Kentucky
farmer and fnancier He says that this
is hard world and that the farmer has
no chance. That when the farmer had no
money to lend, interest was high, but that
now that the farmer has little surplus to
invest, the Money Devil has put down the
interest charge to less than living rate
Richmond Times.
The sound money views of the Times
enables it to see and enjoy the satire as re-
lated in the experience of that Kentucky
farmer. But the Times and the other en-
emies of the policy of the Republican party
are correspondingly as ridiculous and un-
grateful as the old farmer. They admit
that conditions have been greatly changed
since 1896, but will not assign the cause.
There has been no change in the money
standard, and there must have been some
other cause for the prosperity of the agri-
culturists and all other classes of our peo-
pie. Will the Times undertake to say
what is the cause? We belieyeit has been
done by the general policy of the Repub-
lean patty.

EDUCATION IN Japan.
Jealousy in Preserving National Charac-
teriStics.
Seattle Post-Intelligcncer.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
At the recent general meeting Of men,
bers of the Yokohama Educational Asao-
citation it was decided to petition the Gov
eminent to prohibit foreigners, after the
operation Of the new treaties, from estab-
fishing elementary, middle or girls schools,
and the question is expected to come up
for discussion at the forthcoming higher
educational conference, says the "Jji."
This shows how the anti-foreign spirit still
prevails in the educational circles Of Japan.
They allege that if the education of child
rem be left safely in the hands Of foreign
els they will be gradually deprived of the
spirit of patriotism, which characterizes
the people of Japan.
This is an undue apprehension, says the
writer, as patriotism is an instinct of the
nation, and the japanese are absolutely
invulnerable to any change arising from
the introduction of foreign ideas. This
contention is abundantiy proved By the
fact that the patriotic spirit of the Japa-
nese has, on the contrary, greatly deyel-
0ped since the introduction of foreign civ;
ilization. The schools established by for
egners are, of course, put under the con-
troll of the educational department and
subject to the law of this coun'
try, and we ('Jiji'') fails to foresee the
possibility of any abuse in allowing for
eigners to undertake the work of educa-
ting japanese children.
The people love their country as they do
their parents, and the absurdity Of the
position of anti-foreign educationsts may
be shown by simple analogy. Children
love their parents as much as ever, though
they are fond of their neighbors, and may
outwardly seem to prefer the latter. This
question admits of no considerations of
nationality, and whatsoever the person
may be, in so far as he is well qualified
and of correct conduct, it is quite certain
that he will succeed in his undertaking
rhe writer sees no necessity at all for for
bidding foreigners to undertake education
al work in Japan, and adds that even ad-
hitting the necessity, it is actually impos-
sible to entirely stop them by law, since
the foreigners may, as at present, continue
to conduct schools, in the names of Japa-
nese.

No Wonder IT Panied.

A tender-hearted old woman noticed
a horse with broad rubber band
stretched around its leg just above the
hoof. She asked the waiting driver of
the cab why it was there and suggested
that 1t was more than cruel to place it
on the animal.
Eyes, num-" replied the cabby, its
painful to the horse no doubt, utthat's
not the worst of it. It's the getting of
1t on that pains the poor thing. Why,
we had to stretch the band and draw
it over the horses head and down all
his body to get it on"
"For the lands sake alvev" exclaimed
the woman, and walked away Mortified.
