 Lands by the Department.


 The commissioner of the Gener- alU. S. Land office has issued the following rules and regula- tions governing the use of timber On public mineral lands:
 By virtue of the power vested lin the Secretary of the Interior by the first section of the act of June 3, 1878, entitled "An act authorizng the citizens of .C0lorado, Nevada and the Ter ritories to fell and remove timber on the public domain for mining and domestic purposes, the following rules and regula- tons are hereby prescribed:
 T. The act applies to the States of Colorado, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah, and the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and all other mineral districts ofthe United States.
 The land from which timber may be felled or removed under the provisions of this act, must Sbe known to be of a strictly mineral character and mot sub- ject to entry under existing laws of the United States, except for mineral entry.'' Parties who take timber from the public lands under assumed authority of this act must stand prepared to show that their acts are within the Iprescribed terms of the law gran ting such privilege, the burden being on such parties of proving by preponderance of evidence that the land from which the hmber is taken is 'mineraP' within the meaning of the act. xseSThe privileges granted are My6fined to citizens of the United States and other persons, bona. desresidents of the States, Ter sritories and other mineral districts, provided for in the act. The uses for which timber may be felled or removed are limited by the wording of the act b Building, agricultural, min
 ng, or other domestic purposes. :"
 ssNo timber is permitted to be > elled or removed for purposes of ,aale or traffic, or to manufacture nto Number or other timber pro- uctas an article of merchandise, i K f0rzany other use whatsoever Except as defined in section of ] 1hessr Jules and regulations.

IMPORTANT TO DIRECTORS.
Matter of Employing Teachers
 Discussed by Supt. Doyne.


 State Superintendent of Public Instruction Doyne has given out the following opinion upon the law with reference to the employ ment of teachers in the public schools where there is no money in the treasury to pay for their services:
 "Section 1 of article 196 reads as follows: That hereafter it shall be unlawful for any director or board of directors in any school district in this state, to employ a teacher to teach a school in any district in this state, unless said district has money to it's credit in the treasury of the county in which said district is located, to pay said teacher for such work; provided, that if the amount of taxes to be paid in by the collector of any county shall be sufficient to have a school taught in any district in which such taxes are to be paid, then the directors shall have the power to employ teachers to teach a school in such district; provided further, that a majority of the patrons of any school district in this state shall at all times have the right to petition said board of directors to employ teacher and cause school to be taught in any district whenever they so desire; provided further, that said directors do not pay more for services of said teacher than would be necessary to pay said teacher for said service, if said money were in treasury.
 There are three points embod- jed in this section: First, the Directors shall not employ a. teacher unless the district has money to it's credit to pay for the service of said teacher; second, the directors shall have power to employ teachers, provided a tax has been voted, which, when collected, will pay the expenses of the school; third, a majority of the patrons, whenever they so desire, have a right to petition the board of directors to. give them a school.
 Considering these points in order:
 1 The directors must have a school taught when there is suf- ficient money in the treasury to the credit of the district to allow this to be done. See section 7O29 of the school law and comments thereon.
 2 The directors may have a school taught, if tax has been voted, though not yet collected, which is sufficient to defray the expenses of the same. It is, however, left to the discretion of the directors as to whether or not this shall be done.
 3 A majority of the patrons have a right to petition the di- rectors to employ a teacher and cause school to be taught. The act does not provide that the directors shall grant said petition. Clearly the intent of the law is that in case there has been tax voted which will defray the ex- penses of the school, and yet the directors do not see fit to have a school taught, majority of the patrons may petition for school. and secure the same to the dis trict. To say that the electors have a right to petition and cause scnool to be taught when there isl money in the treasury, no tax voted, and no promises that one will ever be voted, would be to destroy the effectiveness of the act. Of course this is simply an opinion, as no court decision has been rendered with reference to the matter.

For forty years he served either il, a

these forty years he spent on the Hem

of Vineyard sound. 81 He was 80 years
old, and first went on a whaling vuy-
age when he was "A. On his next voy-
age he became III. The captain, who,
like the skipper on all Wha1ers, was
also the ships doctor, was unable to
cure him. and it was decided to- put
him ashore at Otaheite, one Of the So
Eciety group. The chief who was asked
to- look after him consented on con
5dltion that the boy would become a
member of the tribe. The chiefs con-
sditions were agreed to, and young
Doane was taken ashore. He received
kind treatment from the natives, and
was soon nursed back to health. When
he was strong enough to undergo the
ceremony he was received into the
tribe, the tribal mark being placed on
the backs of his hand. He remained
with the tribe for many years, learn
ing the language and becoming one

taken off the island by an English
brig and was landed on the South
American coast. As the quickest. way
to get home he enlisted for service on

way to Chinese waters. This was DUR

home, all of that time being spent on
the Constell alton. The cruise in Chi

home. Soon after his return he again
decided on a whaling: voyage, but when
three weeks out he fell through an

That ended his career as a Whaler, and
soon after he got a berth on a light

ETY.. as to the d divisions Of time they
measure. There are hour glasses,
three minute glasses, and SO On; and
these several glasses are used for
many different purposes. b. The hour
glass is mostly used in the sickroom,
and in the music room. In the sick
room it is used as guide in adminis-
tering medicine. With it there is no
need of watching the clock, no doubt
about when the last dose was given, or
anything of that sort; but when the
sand in the glass has run out the medi-
cine is given andss the glass is turned,
and so on. In the music room it is
used for the convenience Of the teach

pupil. There are also made. ten min
ute glasses, of which a few are used
for medical purposes, and this glass is
also used in the kitchen. There is a
fve-minute glass which is largely a
kitchen glass, used to boil eggs by and
for other purposes, and the three-min-
ute sand glass is called an egg boiler.
While the sand glass in its various
forms is thus commonly made to serve
some useful purpose, it is also some
times used for decorative or ornamen-
tai purposes, and sometimes the hour
glass is made usesof for the purpose
of a souvenir. A traveller brings home

Last Monday was regular County
Court day for Prince Edward Ed
ward. The crowd in attendance was
an unusually large one. Not much OF
interest on the court docket. The old
Tredway mill race was presented as a
nuisance, and the trial of the case was
fixed for next court. Messrs. Lee and
Franklin are associated with Judge
Watkins in the prosecution Of this case,
and it promises to be lively.
Brown, the escaped prisoner, was
indicted. There was no meeting of
the farmers as we expected there would
be, though many of the leading farm

DR.. Richard Vcnable Leach Dead.

DR.. K. V. Leach died IN the city of
Lynchburg, where he had gone for sur
gical treatment, on the 18th inst, in
the 10Th year of his age, haying been
born ON the Dist of July, 1924. His
remains were brought to the home of
his father, Rochelle in the county of
Cumberland, for burial, and the funer-
al services were conducted 10y his
nephew, Rev. Richard Lancaster, Of
Abingdon, assisted 10y Rey. DR.. Hard
ing and Rev. Mr.. Davis.
Dr. Leach received thorough academ.
ic training and then selected medicine
rs profession He mastered it in all
It's details as student, and pr9cticed it
for number of years i'm civil life with
success. He served the Confederacy
efficiently and well throughout the en-
tire war Is assistant surgeon, and sur.
rendered at Appomattox with the i'm
mortal Lee.
Early in life DIR. Leach united with
Cumberland church, and was during
life close reader aud earnest student
Of the bible. A familiar hymn, breath
ing spirit Of humble trust in the Sa-
viour, was found, copied in his own
hand, on his desk after his death, and
those who knew and loved him best
are comfOrted with the hope that he
died in that faith. DR.. Leach was "a
man Of liberal culture, an accomplished
physician and could have gained repu-
tatiOn and won success if he had so
wished. He preferred the quiet circle |
OF a few intimate friends, and to such |
he was ch rming companion, his books
and his own home. Increasing deaf |
ness kept him from enjoying the SER
vices Of the sanctuary and no doubt
from the walks of more active life.
In this age of intense striving for
dollars and reputation, it is refreshing
to meet with characters willing to serve
and not 10 shine.
