The "Huntsman's Cup"

The "huntsman's cup" or pitcher
plant, is conceded to be one of the ear
Hest. il not the earliest, of the wild
flowers Of America to become known
to Europeans. References occur in re-
lation to it as early at 100, when 4
Lisbon physician named LaunanuS
sent it to 4 contemporary as the leaves
Of the frankinCenSe tree. 1t appears
that two sailors brought the curious
leaves with some resin from the pine
trees growing near, and Launanus sup
posed they belonged together. Much
confusion occurred and much wonder
mcnt was expressed as to what curious
tree with such leaves could be found
in America giving such "sweete odoure
when the gum was burned and.
strange to say, most attempts TO Gear
up the mystery resulted i'll greater oD-
security.

4 FEW WHY'S.

Why do many employers say their
clerks are Il stupid lot and un-zOrthy Of

Why 90 many clerks look with envy
on their employers and rage over every
correction or sharp word?
Why co many persons behave more
courtcoUSly and kindly to outsiders
than they do 10 the ones they really
love the best Of all:
Why do many men laugh at women's
lack of business ability and yet sheer
and rather look down OH the woman
who shows she has some:
Why do many children resent any
thing their parents say and look OF
them as bores and long 10 be grown up
so as to escape from them?
Why do many rich folk look on their
poor relatives as being always on the
lookout for favors and so prevent the
poor relatives from giving them little
presents or being natural with them!
Why do many husbands work hard
for their wives and family, but never
think how the wife would appreciate
an invitation to the theater, little din
ner at a restaurant, box Of candy or
some flowers brought home unasked?-

KEEP A CHEERFUL MIND.
Not Only When Things Go Well, but
When You Meet Disaster.

To be cheerful when the world is

The thing is to be cheerful under dis
advantageous circumstances. II one
has lost money, if business prospects
fail, if enemies appear triumphant, II
there is sickness of self or those dear
to one, then is ii indeed Il virtue TO be
cheerful. When poverty pinches day
after day. month after month or
through the years us they pass ana one
las ever TO deny self of every little
longed fer luxury and the puzzle of
how TO make Il dollar do the work for
two has to be solved. then til" man
w..o can still be cheerful IS hero. lie
is Il greater hero than the soldier who
faces the cannons mouth. Such cheer
fulncss is the kind that we need 10 cul-
tivate.
To acquire this self command We
need to think Of many things. We
need to guard against giving way 10
irritation about little things. If we can
maintain self control in small matters.
we shall have less difficulty in main
tanning it when great matters are 10 DC
met If we meet with irreparable
losses, we must readjust our lives to ut
the new conditions. There is no great
evil so bad but that it might have been

An Architectural Curiosity.

There are many churches through
out England which are without tower
or spire. but there are few churches
which can boast of having Il tower and
spire side by side. one Of these is the
parish church Of Ormskirk in Lanca-
shire. The tower is built over the
porch at the west end, and the spire IS
placed rs closely rs possible TO it. The
origin of this architectural freak has
not been aSccrtaincd, but there is ira
dition 10 the effect that when Orme,
the Saxon pirate from whom the town
derives its name, decided TO construct
a kirk, or church. as an eXpiatory Of
fering for his evil deeds his two daugh-
ters uuarreled over the design for the
structure. One determined to have 4
tower. the other was equally resolved
to have Il steeple.
AS neither of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun-
try.

FrealS Calculation.

We all like to puzzle our brains over
things which give certain and strange
results. but which we cannot explain.
Here's a puzzle that puzzles everybody.
Take the number Of your living broth
ers, double the amount, add to it three,
multiply the result by five, add to it
the number Of living sisters, multiply
the result by ten, add to it the number
OF deaths of brothers and sisters, sub
tract $50 from the result. The right
hand figure will be the number OF
deaths, the middle figure the number
OF living sisters and the left the num-

causes which are responsible for this

CARDINAL GIBBONS in a sermon re-
Gently delivered at Baltimore sounded
a note of warning on the growing num-
Der OF. divorce mills. ''There is" he
said, "a social scourge more blighting
and more destructive of family life
than mOrmOnism. It is the fearfully
increasing number of divorce mills
throughout the United States. These
mills are slowly but surely grinding
the domestic affairs of the nation.
Husband and wife are separated on the
most hlmsy pretexts. And as if the
different states of the union were not
sufficiently accommodating in this re-
spect South Dakota has the nnenviable
name of granting "a divorce for the
mere asking of it on the sole condition
OF a brief sojourn within her borders.
l can conceive:no scene more pathetic
and appeals more touching to our
sympathies than the contemplation of
a child emerging into the years of dis
erection seeing her father and mother
estranged from each other. Her little
heart is yearning for love. She longs
to embrace both of her parents. But
she finds that she cannot give her af-
lection to one without exciting the re-
sentiment or displeasure of the other"
Cardinal Gibbons paints none too
strongly this picture of Americas social
depravity. -.

The average county superintendent
OF schools is awaking to the fact that
he is not properly paid for his labor,
and that his salary has not been ex-
banding in the same manner as the
natural expansion of the country With
the growth of our country schools the
county superintendent duties have
Increased but the laws have never been
very liberal with this important Off
cial, whose work is too often not ap-
preciated. When the laws regulating
the salary of these officials were passed
the average legislator considered a
county superintendent of schools
merely nominal Individual, and then,
too, county commissioners as a rule. do
not: look upon his duties with much
outward appreciation at least. AS a
rule he is considered useless piece of
civic machinery. Now this is all
wrong. Either the county superin-
tendent is an absolute nonentity or else
he is worthy of better treatment than
is generally accorded him. It is his
duty to look after all the schools of the
county and to visit them several times
a year, and yet many times he is not
allowed pay for a team to make his
long journeys, which in this county are
quite common. It is all wrong to
think that county superintendent are
not deserving of better treatment. We
are living in an age of improvement,
and especially so in an educational way.
If we do not make the salary of our
county superintendent remunerative
enough to keep good capable men or
women in Office, we cannot expect our
country schools to improve as they.
should. Under present salaries super
intendents of schools should at least be
paid a reasonable sum for team hire
and travelling expenses. A bill will be
introduced in the legislature authoriz-
ing county commissioners to pay sup
erintendents reasonable allowance
for travelling expenses. s@:s* .s.,.-s -. ~
