II Ia said that the school boards of
the state Of Kansas have recently
adopted resolutions forbidding the fe-
male teachers the "unalienable right
to be courted, and the male teachers
the masculine right to CONTRIBUTING
school terms. This causes the teach
ers to view with alarm" this most
singular curtailment OF their privi-
leges under this free government. Our
sympathy is, Of course. entirely with
the teachers. When a pretty girl Is
attracted from the effete east to the
blooming west, shall she give up for
ever and day the inestlmable right to
be courted? Never! or the blooming
west would straightway become q wild

citation, to be held in this city Sept.
23 and "a, has been issued. 1t promis-
es to be an event of importance in
financial circles and will doubtless draw
large attendance. One of the mat
ters to which consideration will be
given will be the proposition to raiso
$4,000 for a silver service for the
battleship Ohio. Some months ago
the association took it upon itself to
undertake to raise this sum for the
purpose stated, each bank being made
depository for contributions The
money has not been coming in as rap
idly and fully as anticipated, and it
is possible that some change may be
made in the method of collection to
eXpidite the work of solicitation.
Some carefully prepared papers will
be read at the meeting. The address Of
welcome will be made by Governor

An examination of the drinking
water at the state house by the chem
ist of the state board of health shows
that the filters are unreliable and only
afford partial protection against pol
luted water. In many cases 1t was
found that the water, after being fl
tered contained more bacteria than be-
fore. The filter In the governors Of
fee was among the worst. An efficient
filter should remove 9S per cent. Of ths
bacteria In the unfiltered water, but
none Of the filters reached this per-
centage. The examination shows that
filters cannot be depended upon to pur-
ify sewage polluted water and that tho
only real safeguard is to boil all the
water. A clerk died from typhoid fe,

The Origin Of Mr. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John-that is to say, be
had only Christian name without any
kind of "handle" before 1t or surname
after it, says the Philadelphia Record.
Some means of distinguishing one John
or William from another John or William
became necessary. Nicknames derived
from q mans trade or bis dwelling plaoe
or from some personal popularity were
tackled on to his Christian name, and plain
John became John Smith. As yet there
were no "misters' in the land.
Some John Smith accumulated mora
wealth than the bulk Of his fellows-be'
came perhaps landed proprietor or an
employer Of hired labor. Then be began
to be called in the Norman-French Of the
day the "maistre" of this place or that,
of these workmen or Of those.
In time the "maistre," or "maister, I"
as it soon became, got tackled on before
his name, and be became Master Smith
and his wife was Maistress Smith.
Gradually the sense of possession was
lost sight Of, and the title was conferred
upon any kindly mere possession or
wealth or holding some position OF more
or less consideration and Importance.

THE KITCHEN RANGE.
How to Economize on the Csc OF
Conl-BuIlding Fires. .

HOW to IGcOnOmiZc on the Use OF
ConI-BuIlding Fires.
One Of the most fruitful sources Of
household waste and extravaganza is
the coal bin, and tons Of fuel are used
where q single one would give the
same results. Open drafts and range
full to the covers Of glowing Goals not
only burn a needless amount of coal,
but burn out the range Mt the same
time A shoyelful Of coal or sufficient
to lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish rs much as 4 half scuttlcful, eX-
cepting in the increase of the coal
mans trade.
For q small range nut coal Is best;
for large one, small egg coal. Red
ash coal makes q hotter fire, with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly. For
these reasons an equal mixture Of the
two Is wise economy. The ashes
taken from the fire should never be
thrown into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat Is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal Is we'll aglow.
A third Of cupful Of kerosene with
which to saturate the kindling and
coal before putting it in the range
will facilitate the housemaid's morn
ing work, whether or not the fire has
been kept overnight. Kerosene should
never, however, be poured directly into
a stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way Is to lay the wood on
shovel and cover it there with the
oil and then. add e sprinkling to a
shovelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving a part of a
cupful of Oil for the servants use and
locking the rest in the storeroom.
A handful Of sugar will revive an
expiring fire as quickly as will kero'
sene, but happy the housewife whose
maid is ignorant Of the fact. This ac-
counts in many cases for the rapid dis
appearance of the kitchen sugar sup
ply.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Effect of Highway improvement In
New jersey.

Effect of Highway Improvement In
New Jersey.
The importance Of good roads and
their value to each district having
them have long been advocated, but
not until recent years has the public
been awakened to their full stgnif-
canoe. After all, it was not by argu-
ment that the public was convinced,
but from necessity in the beginning
and then by example. The state Of
New Jersey is wedged in between New
York and Pennsylvania, with one Of
the great cities of the country on its
eastern borders and the second largest
city on it's western borders. Its farm
ers are mainly engaged in raising truck
for the millions Of people living in
those two cities. To do this thousandsl
Of them drive to each city daily with a
load Of truck, starting in the morningl
anywhere from II to o'clock to get to
the markets early enough for the huck-
sters.
Jersey mud" a clay loam, is pro-
verbal for it's sickness and disagree
able nature to travel through when
wet, says the Putnam Comm Patriot.
The Jersey farmer knows the value oil
dollar and is opposed to taxes, but bel
could reckon the difference betweenl
what he lost daily by reason of bad
roads and the tax he would have tol
pay for building a smooth rock road.
That having been worked out, one good
road was built and those near it got to-
market regularly and easily, rain or
shine, saving enough each trip to pay
the road tax. Seeing Is believing"
and farmers in other parts became con-
vinced Of their economy, and the exam
pie was followed, slowly at first, but
gradually going on more rapidly.
Last year 100 miles Of new roads
were built in that state at cost Of
about $500,000. This year the demand
for them Is so great that the state will,
the coming year, venture to put 81, ,000,-
600 into 200 miles of macadam. The
state commissioner Of public roads de-
clares that this movement has in
creased the taxable property Of the
state by $27,000,000. Just think Of
thati .-.

q, It costs on an average $1,000 per.
mile to build a state road in Massa-.
chusetts, says the Boston Globe, but
the actual cost depends on locality and
conditions, hardly two cases being
alike. One-fourth Of the cost Of q
state road is borne by the county In
which it is situated, the balance being
contributed by the state.
/ The work Of the highway commission
has developed number Of high class
professional roadbuilders. Many Of
the younger and more ambitious have
entered the employ Of the national gov
ernment in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines in the same line Of work.
Most of the state roads are Of broken
stone, but a few are Of gravel The
type of road built is determined by the
engineer, who makes careful examina-
ton Of soils, drainage, gravel stone,
grades and traffic.

The cost Of trap rock for roadbuild-
ing varies from $1.10 per ton to SLIGO
per ton. The state owns seventeen
steam rollers, which are employed IN
state roadbuilding. The standard
width Of stone roadways In Massachu-
setts built by the commission is fifteen
feet. There are some only ten and
twelve feet wide, but they are not
deemed economical to maintain.
When state road Is constructed, It
remains under the control Of the state
highway commission. The local au-
thorities are taxed an amount not to
exceed $50 per mile for maintenance.

How to Clean Cut Glass.

Cut glassware is both valuable and
beautiful and should be carefully
treated when cleaned. 1t should.
in the first place, be washed in warm
water to which have been added few
drops of that invaluable cleansing
agent ammonia. Having thoroughly
rinsed them, brush each piece separate
ly with q soft brush dipped in whiting,
and then, when the powder Is washed
off, polish the glasses, which should
drain for a minute or two, with tissue
paper, which puts on splendid gloss.
