Henderson knows when q fuse will do to light and when 1t won't. The powder is all dry along the line and a fuse touched of like the one that CruInpacker was laying would have created an explosion that would have been worse than dynamite to the g. O. D.

Cheap Teachers.

1.-THE day will come when the great
majority OF taxpayers will pass by
chap teachers as the intelligent far
meE now passes by inferior stock and
seed; as ne would pass by thousand
joltwagons or stage coaches to take
the passenger train. In the mean
time, it is the duty Of educators of
clear insight and devotion to courage
ously insist upon a higher Standard
to do what they can to place the licens-
ing of teachers in the most competent
hands" So says an exchange. This
is true, but that day will not come IN
til the taxpayers are willing to pay
salaries that will command good teach
ers. AS long as schools are turned
over to those who will teach for the
lowest amount, the opportunities OF
the children will continue to be vast
ed. The licensing Of teachers should
be placed sin the most competent
hands," but the employment Of teach
ers should be placed in hands equally
competent, Above all, parents with
children to educate, should give more
attention to the education of their
children. They should visit the schools
and become acquainted with the
teacher who has been entrusted with
the training Of the minds Of their chill
dren. This is an important work, and
none buta good man or woman should
be entrusted with it. A drinking or
profane man should not be allowed in
the schoolroom. Yet many parents
do not seem to regard the moral quail
fcations Of the man who teach their
children at all, so long as he is willing
to work for an amount barely
sufficient to pay his board and buy
whiskey to 60 on an occasional jag.
Parents and trustees need an awaken
ing on the educational line. Every
township in Orangeburg County should
have at least one high school taught
by competent, well-paid teachers.

POWER OF SUPERSTITION.
Now York Worker Among the 1gRor-
ant Finds It Hard to
Combat.

Superstition is a force to be reck-
oned with and not despised by those
who labor for the good of the poor
On the East side, as all college set
tlenent workers will testify, says
the New York Tribune. A philan-
thropic woman tells the following
experience:
a poor italian housewife, living in
Mulberry street, had swelling Of
the knee. She told me of her trou-
BILE, and I gave her the address of a
free dispensary, where she went for
treatment. The treatment did not
cure her, and she drew out from the
savings bank large part of her lit
tie hoard of savings, and in spite of
all my protests paid it to a gypsy
woman on the outskirts of Brooklyn
for charm. This charm consisted
of piece of parchment, on which
were written some queer characters.
The whole was tied up in a little bag
and was suspended by a string
around the patients neck. When
she showed it to me I laughed the
thing to scorn and tried to show her
how foolish she was to pay hard
earned money to a miserable quack.
I could not convince her of her folly,
however, and 50 gave up the effort,
trusting to time to prove me right.
The neighbors of the woman with
the swollen knee soon heard of her
gypsy charm, and one of them who
had an eruption on the skin which
had long defed the power of medi-
cine to remove it begged for a copy
of the charm. The first woman was
ready to do this favor to her fellow
sufferer, and as neither could read
nor write they used ten-year-old
son of ono Of them to make the
copy. This boy had been attending
a public school, and his parents were
exceedingly proud OF his ability to
read and write american" But
the lad could make nothing of the
gypsy writing on the parchment.
He was equal to the occasion, how
ever, and showed he had the making
of a true American, for he would not
acknowledge defeat. What he wrote
was: This is know good"
It was not until some time after
ward that heard of this, when the
woman with the skin trouble was
showing me the copied charm. When
I saw the trick the boy had played
on both of them I thought my vim
dication had truly come. But when
explained it all to her, she met me
with the knockdown argument:
well, miss, it cured us both"
What could ] say to that?

The RnPal School.

Mr.. Branson of Georgia has recent
ly told In the Worlds Work the story
Of the model rural schools which the
Federation of Women's Clubs is help
ing to establish in that state. In
speaking Of one he said: The CON-
mon school subjects will be taught,
of course. But cooking, the cultiva-
tion Of school gardens, a half dozen
forms of remunerative handicraftS, a
school library, a mothers club and a
fortnightly institute for the teachers
of the country will be some of the
features of this school," Yea. verify:
why not include in the work of the
school so much of the work Of the
community as the children can appre-
ciate and employ in their own educa-
tion? A school is a place in which
children should live and move and
have their being 1t should reflect
the larger life without and prepare it's
pupils for a better life in the future
by helping them to live truer, more
normal life in the present. That
which is treated with respect in school,
whether it be arithmetic or grammar,
cotton picking or hog raising, religion
or politics, will rarely be an object Of
contempt after school. Time and eX-
perience will eliminate what is useless
or harmful in the curriculum and
methods of such experimental schools.

TOWN OFF IN DATES.
Curious Taagle In Which Sweden,
q. z, Eiads Itself By Use OF Last
Years Alno02o. Z

Almanacs scattered broadcast In the
town Of Sweden, n. Y, with the month
Of November printed from an old plate
have badly mixed up the entire pop
ulation. Supervisor Sutphin came to
Rochester the other day to attend q
under the impression that it was Fri
day. When convinced tina: November
81 this year came on Thursday he was
dumfounded It seems that the whole
town is day ahead.
Last Sunday all the stores in Sweden
were open under the impression thst
it was Saturday and the usual Satur-
day business rush took place. On Mon
day the people had attended worship
under the impression that it was Sun
day. Supervisor Sutphin is author
ity for the statement that on Sunday
he and the Baptist minister went fish
ing. He also states that there were
several husking bees. winding up with
: big dance on Sunday night.
Rochester newspapers received nu-
merous complaints from Sweden sub
scribers on account Of the papers be-
ing a day late. The complaints were
incomprehenible until sweden's su-
pervisor came to the city the other day
and explained the situation. He says
it will take several weeks to strsighten
the calendar out in the town.

PostmSSters in Politics.

The Postoffiee Department has made
4 very fine distinction as to the degree
OF political activity permissible to post
masters. z postmaster, in view Of the
warnings that had been issued against
"pernlcious activity" asked the de-
partment to make closer definition
OF the offence and asked these ques-
tions: Am I prohibited from Joining
a political club? Can l make voluntary
financial contributions for the good OF
the party? Would l be prohibited
from acting as delegate TO county.
Congressional or State conventiOn2a
The assistant postmaster general made
this reply: In reply to your letter.
you are Informed that you are not pro-
hibited from joining political club,
nor making voluntary financial con-
tributions outside Of government
office or building, nor from acting as a
delegate to county, State or Congress
sional convention. You should not,
however, serve as chairman OF a State
or county committee, nor take active
part in conducting political conyen-
tion, nor make yourself unduly pro-
mlnent in local political matters"
The Charleston Post says ''the line is
very fine and it will be hard to keep
from crossing it. For instance, q post
master may 60 to convention but
may not take active part in conduct
ing it. What is the use Of going if
one can't have hand in the doings OF
the convention, unless, Of course, the
postmaster should happen to be a
Platt ora German and can sit behind
tho scenes and pull the wires without
appearing in the public eye at all. If
he should happen TO be a Bryan,
though or 2. Roosevelt, who must get
on the stage and have plenty Of open
t,,eld for action, he would never be able
to make any headway under tho re-
strictions Of the Postothce Depart
meat. However, the Important privi-
lege Of contributing money to the
party's campaign fund is carefully ex-
empted from the list Of indulgences
forbidden to postmasters and that is
the main thing"
