There is no happiness without health. The woman
who is a constant sufferer may learn to bear her burden, to
without health. Nothing is more necessary than extreme
care of the health in girlhood. It is in girlhood that
the little seeds of neglect are sown, the harvest of which
may be lifelong suffering for the woman. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is to be recommended as the one
remedy which Is sure to helpsand safe to. use. Many
preparations offered for woman's use contain deleterious

SCHOOL NOTES
By SUPT. l.. B.


"a liberal education is the great
est blessing that a man or woman
can enjoy, when supported by
virtue, morality and noble aims"
President Mckinley.
The month of February is
crowded with birthdays of noted
persons, the foremost of Americas
patriots and authors, as follows:
Lincoln's birthday February II.
Washington's birthday February
%.
Lowell's birthday February %.
Longfellow's birthday February
27.
An excellent opportunity is thus
afforded for instruction in patrio-
tism,. biography, and literature.
A circular issued by the State
Superintendent containing sug-
gestions for the observance of the
birthdays Of Lincoln and Wash
ington has been sent out to teach
ers. AS these days are legal holi-
days in this state, it is advised that
special exercises for their obser-
vance be held on the afternoon of
the school day preceding each, if
inconvenient to have a public cele-
bration on the days designated as
holidays.
An excellent outline for teach
ing manners and morals may be
found in the back Of Whites
School Management, one Of the
reading circle books for 1856.
Every teacher should have this
valuable book.
The law nov provides that phys
ical culture must be taught in all

The postoaice inspector made an

everything in apple pie order.
VIM. Britton has closed a con
tract for putting up 50tons of ice.
Ice cream will be the popular bev-
erage for cooling our thirst during
the coming summer.
The Dundards who arrived here
Wednesday say the wheat crop in
Indiana is a complete failure this
year owing to it's destruction by
the Hessian fly. Many of the
farmers. they say, will be unable
to save enough for seeding.
A few of our Scotch residents
celebrated, in kits, the gallant
deeds attributed to the Highland
ers in the present Boer-B British
war Several Scotch songs, in
which "Annie Laurie" figured
prominently, were rendered at the
gathering,
Dorsey Hartsoch closed a deal
last week by which Jas. A. Horne,
of Dry Lake, becomes the own
er of the Hartsoch farm. Mr..
Horne already owns some very
valuable land in this section, and
thinks his investments are away
ahead of gold-mining.
The marriage of our popular
citizen, DR.. Sihler, while not alto
gether a surprise, did cause a rufae
in our social realm. Congratula-
tions, Doc, for now the blues will
flee before you as the big fog be-
fore the west wind; your going into
your own home will be like a. flood
OF sunshine over a. meadow. of
b%uttercups, and may your wife and
children blossom in your presence
like a June. rose.
: The party which occurred on, the
End February at the home of
Misses Bate and Lott Blanchfeld
was most highly enjoyed by old
and young. Dancing and games
were the chief features of the even
ing, after which a dainty lunch was
served. The music was so invit-
ing that all present we're inspired
to trip the light fantastic until the
wee sme' hours of the morning.
The two-step was the favorite, and
even those who couldn't two-step
stepped anyway. A number Of
young people from the Harbor
were present-those who could not
ride walked or an after the mule,
who, getting scared at the cars,
took a 2:4O gait and strew the road
with some valuable articles, such
as longs, leans. fats and smalls.
One Of the longs, being onto his
job, outran the mule and again
succeeded in soaring the animal.
"Get there!" cried Billy the driver,
and the mule started on a home
stretch. Billy acknowledges that
all we're lucky to arrive alive.
Moral: Girls, beware of a mule.

Everything in any way connected

lar mention. The forefoot OF the horse

speed and endurance depend. The foot
of the reindeer is most peculiar in con-

IL
Clean and Neat.
Never pretty but scrupulously clean
and with virtue unfailing, the Filipino
woman is like no one else in the
world, and from the white mans stand
point is the least like woman of any
feminine creature. Most women Of
tropical countries are fair to look upon,
but the Filipino is the unloveliest of all
the sex Her eyes are not large, but
they are black and beady and unread
able. Very often hunger looks out at
you; often hatred, but 1t is not pas
sionate hatred. 1t is a stare which
neither revolts nor appeals. 1t seems
to be the result OF instinct rather than
an action of the brain. Her nose is
fat and thick skinned and her hair 10
dead black. Then again. as II to make
her still more unsightly, pock marks
are freely distributed over the face of
nearly every woman of the island. The
Filipino woman has mania for wash
ing, and 30 long as water Is handy for
her laving purposes, she doesn't seem
to mind its nature nor the wherefore of
its presence. She is mildly devout.
Religion to her is an infexible duty
bred in her babyhood. 1t is partly
fear. partly pleasure. but in 1t there is
no fervor of intensity or fanaticism.
