SCHOOL MATTERS.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
The latest proposition in the evolu-
ton Of the school affairs in this village
is popular subscription to pledge an
necessary to single the school
house. Forty dollars has been raised
thus far. The motive back of this
is one that cannot be con-
demned too severely. Next June, this
village becomes a district, and If
the present building, the sentiment
would be overwhelmingly against it,
and the voters u the district would |
vote to raise by popular subscription |
and a tax assessment, the amount nee |
essary to erect a substantial building.
This tax would fall heavilyupon certain
of the largest taxpayers and property
owners. AS the matter now stands, If
it is slightly repaired the plea in force
will be that it is in a good enough
state of repair, and consequently no
new school will be apt to be voted. The
fact of the matter is that the present
building is absolutely unfit for repairs.
1t needs new clapb0arding, shingling,
plastering, painting inside and out,
new chimney, foundations repaired,
new windows, and two new Out-hOuSeS,
and the proposition is to fOist
upon the people of the village new
shingled roof. Let the people OF our
village know of this scheme to ulti-
mately deprive them of a new school
house. Refuse to repair structure
that has been condemned by the health
officers Of the county, and see whether
or not, in the face of existing circum-
stances, the people Of West Cornwall
dare refuse to build a decent structure.

 The Winslow base ball team played at Williams yesterday. Seven innings were played when the Williams boys withdrew, with but one score to their credit while Winslow had ten. Better get a few ball players up that way before you try again.
 The Navajo County Bank sent out a very neat advertising scheme yesterday in the way of a check, entitling the bearer to "a glorious time on the day we celebrate" This institution is just entering upon its third year and is in a healthy condition.
 Levi Savage has accepted the position of bumper for the Santa Fe Pacific at this place. Dan Divelbess, who has held the posi- tion for some time, has taken q place with Wetzler Bros, as bookkeeper. We are pleased to see the home boys working into the good jobs.
 Hon. Wm. Morgan and family had quite a split up Tuesday. Mrs. Morgan and daughter and Miss Lizzie went to Los Angeles for a visit; Dan started alone for Chicago on No. 8, and Mir.

,ambers' Journal.

from SnhmDcre JOURNAL
The dress Of the Turkish lady at home,
as have limited, is simplicity itself. Often
Il Is composed of a loose cotton or muslin
wrapper. rose and yellow being the two
favorite shades. Green seems to be only
permitted to those who have the honor of
counting themselves among the descendants
of the Prophet, and their name is legion. In
warm weather the women sometimes discard
stockings and display their pretty pink and
white toes without embarrassment; nor do
they clothe themselves with a multiplicity
OF garments. The hair ia too often disfig-
ured with henna dye, which, though 1t pro-
duces deep auburn or red tint at first,
gray to appear; and at an early age the
multicolored crop fails, and the owner, be-
coming perfectly bald. seeks refuge in the
all-concealing turban. Hair brushes are al
most unknown, and a very coarse comb
alone Is used; which perhaps may account
for the fact that the hair Is so seldom glossy
or well kept.
1t forms a matter for deep regret, from
the artistic as well as the antiquarian point
silken trousers. full to the ankle. gauzy
vest. wide sash and embroidered zouave no
longer forms part of the modern Turkish
lady's wardrobe. The slaves still sport 1t as a
fancy dress on grand occasions; and l be-
lieve it fingers within the seraglio walls
when the pampered beauties take patriotic
freak; but would-be French" atrocities
and the old world charm Ia fled. Every
Turkish lady wishes her ac-
qIaintances to believe that her dresses have
come direct from Paris, and that her Jew
els and silks have cost more than those Of
her neighbors.

decrepitude? Of what use to them will be
the discovery?
II say to such patients, You must be
willing to give up what Is necessary 10

extent you must abstain. But
ID To start with you must cut OF all

II answer that while 1 do not profess to

for the alienation of chronic diseases it
mas been based on these lines. For exam
pie, take the celebrated DR.. Cheyne of the
last century, whose book called The Eng

monograph on neurasthenia. At q time
when everything was port wine and beef
steaks. when physicians were the pillars
of the coffee houses and gave consultations
in their favorite restaurants, he showed
that abstemiousness and a milk diet are
the true cure for the spleen'-the nouras-
thenia of our fast-living ancestors.

SPEAKING OF SOUP.
How It Was Served in a Primitive
German Hostelry.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Speaking Of SOUP" said prominent mu-
stefan who has travelled over a good part
of the earth. reminds me of an experience
I had some years ago while in one Of the
provinces Of Germany. I had stopped over
in small town for day or two and was
at the best hotel in the place. This is not
saying a great deal, for the patronage did
not justify anything like gorgeousness in
the matter of service or in the kind and
character of the food furnished the guests.
The proprietor at any rate, was doing the
best that he could, and. no doubt, / would
have got along all right but for the pecu-
liar method they employed in serving soup.
1 have never seen the method employed in
any other place. and, to be candid about It,
have not been on the lookout for the
unique way of serving the first number on
the menu. The first intimation I had Of
the curious practice was when big, heavy
Hollander, with husky voice, who had
rushed up behind me, asked Soup? Yes
replied, and before 1 knew what had han
pened he had squirted the soup out into my
plate. / was surprised and shocked and
not a little puzzled at first, because I did
not know how the walter had managed to
squirt the soup into my plate so quickly.
had expected him to bring my soup In the
usual way, In a plate. But he shot the soup
over my shoulder before the echo of the
ia had left my lips. watched him make
a receptacle Of some sort that looked like
cross between a bagpipe and something
else. and 1t worked with a suctlon-rod ar
rangement If a guest wanted soup he
squirt out into the plate. 1t was interest
ing enough, but. to save my life, l couldn't
eat the soup. and, in fact. couldn't eat
was ali right, but simply couldn't stand
for it. and when I left the place was
nearly starved"

THE MYSTERIOUS wooDcocK.
Disappears in Moulting Season and
Then Appears Again.

From Outing.
1t is during the months of August and
September that the mystery Of the wood
cocks life begins. This is the moulting
season, when the bird changes it's plumage
before beginning it's journey southwark.
At this time it leaves the swamps. Where
does 1t go? That is question which has
never yet received a satisfactory answer,
although each sportsman and natural list
has his own opinion and many fine-spun
theories have been advanced. Some say
that the birds move toward the north; some
that they seek the mountain tops, coming
into the Swamps to feed only after night
fall; some that they seek the cornfields.
And there have been many other such the
cries. Probably the truth lies in mean of
all these statements. l think it probable
that the birds know the loss of their feath-
ers renders them to certain extent help
less and more exposed to the attacks of
their natural enemies, and they therefore
leave the more open swamps and hide in
the densest and most tangled thfckets. 1t
Is certain that they scatter, for at this sea-
son single birds are found in the most I'M
usual and unexpected places. Years ago
when shooting in Duchess county, n. Y.
1 knew one or two swamps which we cali
ed moulting swamps, where in August, we
were sure to find limited number of birds.
These swamps were Overgrown with rank
marsh grass and were full of patches OF
wild rose and sweetbriar. If We killed the
birds which We found there We were sure,
in a week or ten days. to find their places
filled by about the same number.
The food of the woodcock consists of
worms, leeches and grubs, which the bird
seeks by probing with it's bill the earth of
such swamps as contain them. There are
miles and miles of wet swamp lands among
our hills where the soil. composed of peat
and decayed leaf mold, is too cold and sour
to hold worms; into such swamps the
woodcock never goes. The best woodcock
ground is along the banks of woodland
brooks, that wind in and out through alder
swamps. where the rich black mold Is soft
and full of worms and where the skunk
cabbage and hellebore grows thick and
broad leafed. Such places are the wood
cocks dining rooms, and in them he leaves
his sign manual, the oblong almost TRAM
gular holes which dot each and every
square foot Of earth where a worm might
possibly Turk.
