Vino may Teach.

For the information Of the school
teachers of the State, Superinten-
dent of Education McNIahan has
prepared the following:
Trustees should not overlook the
fact that the law forbids a contract
with a teacher who does not hold u
certificate to teach, issued within
two years by the State Board Of
Education or by the board of educa-
tion of the particular county in
which the teacher is to be employed.
BY neglccting this law teachers
and trustees havo gotten themselves
into awkward consequences. A
person teaching without certificate
with a view TO standing the exami-
nation and winning certificate, and
then being able to draw the accumu-
lated salary has been more than once
disappointed in securing certificate
and salary. The only safe course
for teacher or trustees IS TO follow
the letter of the law, and not to at
tempt to make contract unless at
that time the teacher holds an up-to-
date certificate of qualification, re-
corded and approved by tho County
Superintendent of Education, whose
approval Of every paywarrant must
be obtained before any money can
be drawn.
A certificate expires in two years
from the date of issue. Before the
expiration of this period the old GER
tificatc may be renewed by the
board that granted it, only however,
in case the holder attended the sum
mcr school Gf held in the county,
or rendered to the State Board CT
Education an acceptable excuse for
not having attended.
If certificate is not renewed
within the two years, its holder is in
no better position than one never
having held certificate. A certif-
cate may be obtained by successfully
standing an examination, opportuni-
ty for which is offered only three
times ycar-thc dates arc third
Friday in June, last week of sum
mcr school i'll county, third Friday
in October.
For some years there has been a
regulation of the State Board seek
ing to remove from trustees the
temptation to let personal interest
influence the selection of teachers.
The Legislature itself, at its last scs-
sion, enacted a similar, but more
stringent provision. This is now the
law:
ono teacher shall be employed by
board of trustees of any school
district who is related TO q member of
the board by consanguinity or affinity
within the second degree, without
the written approval of the Board
Of Education Of the county, nor un-
less majority Of the parents or
guardians of the children attending
the school for which such teacher is
employed request such employment
in writing"

Don't Oyerwork Your Talking Apparatus.

Speech is silvcrn, we arc told bya think
ing man of old,
But silence ho assures the world is
golden,
And maxim never bore more emphatic
truth in store
Than tho phrase that comes to us from
ages oldcn;
Such u truth should surely find to the
chambers of the mind,
In its missionary flight, an open lat
ticc,
In this modern age when men, nearly
every one in every ten,
Freely ovcrwork their talking appa-
ratuS.
When a too athletic tongue in its music
box is hung,
AS it were, by balanced pivot in the
middle,
And in propagating sound is forever
dancing round,
Like a drop Of water in a heated grid
die,
'Tis annoying to the ear and clicts but Il
When the fusiladc it shoots is lcvclcd
at us,
And we fain would place a ban on the
freedom of Il man
When he ovorworks his talking appa-
ratus.
TOO much liberty of speech is quito apt
to ovcrrcach
The desired result for which it is in
tended,
And the cup of our desire, by too great
vocal fire,
OFT We crack too seriously to be
mcndcd.
Friends arc never in excess, and with
those we now possess
We are liable to lose our friendly
status,
And they arc apt to pass us by with Il
glacial sort of eye
If we ovcrworl our talking apparatus.
'Tis the men who have control of their
tongues who reach the goal
OF ambition in this lfc's unccasng
battle
Not the men who think they take half
the pie and all the cake
With their volublc and often scnsccsS
prattlc.
Mon whose chinning is arraycd as their
only stock in trade
Should be taken by a posse comtatus,
And in silent cells immurcd until pcrma-
nently cured
Of imposing on their talking apparatus

A Boy to Depend Upon.

Jeremiah Jones is even meancr
than the man who splits up his wifc's
tombstone to repair his doorstep,
says the Philadelphia Enquirer.
Jones was an invctcratc tobacco
smoker, but, as his wife dctcstcd
the practice and made home tenn
pcstuous and stormy for him when
he INDUCED in the habit there, he al
ways smoked when away during the
day, and declared to his better half
that he had stopped permanently.
But one evening, upon entering the
front door and drawing out his hand
kerchief, he accidentally pulled out
his bunch Of tobacco, and, without
noticing it, left ii lying on the floor.
When Jones sat down to his sup
per his wife walked in with the to.
bacco in her hand, and, looking Jones
firmly in the eye, said: 'Do you
know who this belongs to %
With great presence of mind
Jones turned scowling to his eldest
son and said with a severe voice
Immortal Mars is it possible that
you have begun to smoke? You
young reprobatc! Whcrc'd you get
that nasty stuff? What dye mean
by such conduct, you young villain
Ilavn't | told you often enough to
let tobacco alone? Come here to
me or Pll tear the coat off you"
AS he spoke the stern father made
q grab at the boy and dragged him
out into the hallway, where he chas-
tiscd him with a cane.
Then Jones threw the tobacco
over the fence, where he went out
and got it the next morning and cn-
joycd it during the day.
"Mcrciful heavens 2" he exclaimed
when he told us about it. "What
should have done if my children
had been all girls? 1t makes an old
fathers heart glad when he feels
that he has a boy he can depend
upon in such emergencies"

Girls Should Learn to Cook.

Good housekeeping has far more
to do with domestic happiness than
young lovers dream Of. l believe
that these times need women whose
most beautiful work will be done in
side Of their own doors. Without
good housekeeping the romance will
soon go out of marriage. OF course
the man who prizes women chiefly
because she "looketh well to ways Of
her household" does not deserve to
have good wife. lie should merely
employ a housckccper and pay her
good wages. But there are social,
moral, and spiritual uses proceeding
from the wise regulation of the
household which bcstow a dignity on
what would otherwise be triiling.
No matter what a girls accomplish
mcnts may be, her education is in
complete if she has no knowledge of
bakcology, boilology, roastology,
stitchology, and mcndology. Even
if the girl Should never be required
to do the work herself, she ought
to know whether it is done in
proper manner
The whole country is looking for
men in public life, Republicans and
Democrats alike, who are brave
enough and strong enough to con-
tend with the monstrous trust evil.
Is Secretary Long one Of them?

PHARMACY BOARD WINS
JUDGE MINISTER UPHOLDs ITS con-
sTRUCTION OF THE LAW.
A Decision I'm the Case of John Milton
Rhodes-Glass Trust Case
Other Court Cases.

An important decision was made by
Judge McMaster in the Superior Court yes
terday, in sustaining a demurrer in the
case of the State on the relation of John
Milton Rhodes against the State Board of
Pharmacy for a mandate to compel the
board to issue a license to Rhodes. The
pharmacy law which went into effect June
1. 1899. provided that all pharmacists not
holding license should be required to pass
an examination after that date, but those
who were in business and applied to the
board before the law took effect would be
granted licenses.
Rhodes purchased a drug store, June 49,
and June % applied to the board for license.
1t was refused on the ground that he had
not been in business long enough and that
the pharmacy law was in force April 81
1899. when all other 1899 laws were made
effective. Suit was then brought to man.
date the board TO compel 1t to issue a
license.
Judge McMaster decided that as there is
no emergency clause to the law, 1t went
into effect April q as the constitution pro-
vides, but that the penal construction OF
the law was not effective until July l, as is
set out in the statutes This sustains the
board in it's action, a decision that has been
watched for with interest by all druggists
in the State, as many may be similarly af-
fected. The case will go TO the Supreme
Court.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Mrs. Potter to Marry Kitchener.

LONDON. April ADMINISTRATION of the
rumor circulated here and cabled to the
United States that Mrs. James Brown Pot
ter, having been divorced from her hus-
band by mutual consent. was shortly to be
married to Lord Kitchener of Khartum,
shows the story to be entirely without
foundation. Before her marriage with Mr..
Potter the now noted actress was Cora
Urquhart. a New Orleans beauty who went
to New York and captivated its society.
Mr.. Potter-a nephew of Bishop Potter
was a domestic man. fond of his home
and averse to gay life. Mrs. Potter was
devoted to amateur theatricals and liked
to show her talents. At charity affair In
Washington she recited "Ostler joe" a
very naughty poem. The incident created
much unpleasant comment, and everybody
was shocked. Then Mrs. Potter left her
husband and adopted the stage as her pro-
fession. She was a failure at first but
during recent years, in association with
Kyrle Bellew. she has risen to high place
in her art. She has played in every Eng
disappearing country in the world.
