The superintendent of the State
School Fund has been made this
year and Preston county receives
sIo,547.77 as her share. The emu
meration of school children for the
county is 7,43o, so that we received
over one dollar and forty-one cents
for each pupil. The Boards Of
Education will meet soon to lay the
levy and fix the wages for teachers
this year, and we hope that they
can be much more liberal than
heretofore.

to the consideration Of various
minor laws and amendments OF the

the pension law which it is minated

the Senate would ratify them, and
also some amendments 10 the bank

NOT THE RIGHT IsE.ASON.

Bishop Scarborough of the New Jer- l church has entered an earnest protest l against the tendency of women to un- ticularly in church. He declares that the practice indicates decreasing mod esty among women.
 We think the good bishop Is wrong
 for once in his life. It is not decrease in modesty that influences or allows
 women to take off their hats in public places. In public places of amusement the custom grew out of an increase in politeness. It didn't grow very rapidly at first on account of the influence of ancient habit. But when women thor oughly realized that the lofty and bob ping structures which they wore on their heads in theatres were a serious annoyance to those who sat behind them and couldn't see the stage be- cause of them they politely took them off And they have rarely done more pleasing thing. Now anyboy can go to the theatre and see the show and at the same time see rows upon rows of beautiful heads shining in the electric light and indicative of good will. Per haps there isn't any necessity for women to take off their hats in church, but we do not think they can fairly be called lacking in modesty if they do it, It is a plain and sad truth that some of the fashionable hats are irn- modest, and if they are taken off in church the situation is thereby inn proved.

fNFUL.

l The Boston Herald says: It is pain
 full to see Congressman Littlefeld writ
 ing to the newspapers to correct mis-
 statement concerning himself, and be- ginning his communication with the | somewhat familiar expression, My att tention has been called.' That is the same as saying that it is necessary to
 direct his attention to what is said about him in the newspapers. Other wise he would never know what they are saying, And yet we judge from
 what MT. Littlefield has to say as to the useful influence of the press on congress that he keeps his eye on the newspa- pers.
 The Herald does well in being pained by this exhibition. Some great men are in the habit of having their attention
 called to things in the newspapers
 which they have already seen and
 don't want to have people think that
 they were eagerly looking for It Is
 little trick and doesn't fool anybody. It is about as transparent as that other little trick of great men who, being urged by their friends, slowly and re- luctantly accept a nomination which they have been anxiously seeking and wouldn't allow to get away from them if they could possibly help it.

SHODDY AND OLEO.

Within few days President Roose-
 act imposing a tax of 10 cents per
 pound on oleomargarine sold as butter
 or initiating butter in color. The in-
 tent of the law is solely to prevent the
 defrauding of the consumer. It does not
 tax oleomargarine out of existence as
 that substance, when sold for what it ] is, Is subjected to but nominal tax. | Every argument advanced for the oleo- margarine law will hold good for the | passage of the GrosVenor Shoddy bill. The latter measure does not pronounce the manufacture of shoddy to be ille- gal or subject it to any onerous tax, The bill merely requires that where fabrics or garments are made of pure wool that has not already been used in some process of manufacture, they shall be labeled or tagged a s wool, and where any component of such article is not pure wool, the cloth or garment shall be labeled as mixed goods A very large proportion of the clothing sold as wooen contains little pure wool, the chief components being shoddy, or old rags torn to pieces by machinery. Shod- dy having a short staple, and having already parted with some of it's life by wear, is a cheap and inferior sub sttute for the natural wool With the aid of improved machinery the shoddy mills are enabled to produce cloth which initiates wool so as to deceive all but the expert The consumer, tempted by the appearance of the goods, and, perhaps by the price, buys shoddy clothing, and does not detect the imposture until his garments prove de- f1cient in wearing qualities. Like oleo- margarine, shoddy has it's usefulness, but it should not be permitted to count erfeit the real article, namely pure wool. The Grosvenor bill being for the protection of the public against fraud deserves to meet with prompt and fa- vorable consideration by Congress- Philadelphia Ledger

was paid out by smaller companies not making such reports. The payments made in the same year by insurance associations, societies and orders of other kinds is estimated to bring up the grand total to $3OO, .0o0, or pay" ments of $1,OOO,o00 a day for each busi- ness day of the year. This is irrespec- tive of large amounts paid out by acci- dent and liability insurance companies in settlement of claims for death caused by accident, of which no estimate is given.
 It is evident that much of what the life insurance agents say is true, and that they are really the benefactors they say they are. But there are times when the importance of their mission doesn't seem to be what it is.

 When meadow-lands are all yellow sea Of dandelions, to myself l willingly con
 fess
 I'd rather be a butterfly or bee. To enter in the palace of violet so blue I'd deem the sky were underneath my

 of dew. A golden-bottomed cbalice, ah, twere

SOME RIG TIC URES.

Those who have seen the able and willy life insurance agent in his beloved work of persuading men to lay up treasures on earth will not be surprised to read that that work has had great results. Facts have been collected by the Insurance Press which show that in 1901 the regular life insurance compan- ies paid out in the settlement of death claims or matured endowment policies in the United States and Canada $13e- C00 000 To this sum must be added SPA 100000 paid in dividends to policy holders and $24,000,000 more paid to those who for some reason were un- able to fulfill their agreements regard ing payments on their policies. Be- sides this total of $1S4 100000 which is based on returns made to the insurance department of the State of New York, it is estimated that at least $6,O00, 900
