Just the kind of spring day that

Amanda stood looking out Of her small
back window across the neighboring
roofs. It must be confessed that the sight
was not altogether cheerful. It seemed
to Amanda that the gray sky was press
Ing heavily down on the chimney tops
and Amanda wondered to herself how
long the old black chimneys would be
able to hold out.
Amanda's under lip was caught de-
terminedly between her teeth; she was
telling herself for the fourth time that
morning that she wasn't gGlng to let
the rain affect her spirits; no. indeed!
Then, suddenly, such are the uncertain
ties Of human nature, Amanda's eyes
filled with lonely tears, and one or two
of them made their way unmolested
down her poor faded little face. How
ever, she wiped the tears away with an
impatient hand, and fastened on her hat
with trembling fingers.
Amanda taught the primary class in
one Of the big schools in the poorer part

always lonely, had of late become almost
unbearable. She often tried to tell her.

PUPILS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Twenty Per Cent. Of Entire Popula-
ton Of the Country Are on
the Rolls.

The report of the commissioner Of
education for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1904, made public recently by
the secretary Of the interior, shows
that 16.009,361 pupils, or 20 per cent.
of the entire population Of the coun-
try, attended the public schools dur
ing that year.
AS compared with the previous six
years this percentage shows q slight
decrease in the number Of pupils as
compared with total population. The
total cost of the public school system
is given as $251, 457,625. This is an
increase Of $16,000,000 over the
previous year. It amounts to $3.15
per capita Of total population and
$22.75 per capita per pupil
Since 1870 the proportion of male
teachers has decreased from 80 per
cent. Of the entire number to 26
per cent. of the entire number in the
last year. The average compensation
for male teachers last year was $49.9S
and $40.51 for females. This Is a
slight increase over the previous year.
The enrolment in the private schools
for the year is given as 1,093,S76. BY
the addition of pupils in elementary
schools, academies, institutions for
higher education, evening schools, bus
mess schools. private kindergartens,
Indian schools, state schools and
schools for defective orphans, the
grand total Of 1S,187,918 pupils Is
reached. ~.
The report shows that last year
1,578,632 colored children were en-
rolled in the common schools for that
race in the former 16 slave states and
the District of Columbia. The enroll
ment in 1877, the first year statistics
were taken for the colored schools,
was 571.506.
Since 1876 it is estimated that $780,
100000 has been expended in the edn-
cation Of the colored children In the
former slave states and nearly $780,
100000 for the same purpose for the
white children in the same section.
Ninety-six reform schools are re-
corded, with vi, 1863 inmates, p1,603 OF

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

VIII Canada in the next quarter Of q
century take the place Of the United
States a. the great wheat exporting
section Of the western hemisphere
Everything points that way. In the
opinion Of experts the United States has
reached high water mark a. q wheat
exporting country. The increasing
population over there has reached the
point when home consumption 10 be-
coming annually greater in proportion
than tho increase In wheat production.
Az q matter Of fact wheat production
k decreasing over there as the land be-
comes moro valuable and by reason OF
the demand for other forms Of produce
for home consumption. It 70 said that
the wheat crop this year Is not more
than 70 per cent. Of the crop Of 1901
and much below the crops Of 1902 and
1908. 1t is estimated that this year
tho United States surplus for export win
not be over 100000, 900, which is less
than any year since 1878 with two ex-
ceptlons. Not only Is this the case, but
a considerable quantity Of the best Cam
adian wheat is being imported into MIN
nesota and also Chicago.
All this tends to keep the price Of
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol

IN African princess, or to some other
equally heather position Then the lone
white road of her life would stretch out
before her, and her heart would grow
faint within her as she thought of the
weary days she must spend teaching her
dirty little charges in the dingy school,
room.
Having progressed as far as the front
steps of her boarding house, Amanda
found that the rain was coming down
in earnest, so she began to struggle with
the patent spring on her umbrella.
This spring was new invention which
effectually prevented one from raising
ones umbrella when the rain came down
suddenly, and made it equally impossi-
BILE for one to lower ones umbrella when
the shower was passed. Amanda glared
at the offending umbrella and shook it
wrathfully, but all to no avail. Finally
she gave up in despair. 81 hate to spoil
my crimps," she murmured, ruefully. 81
ought not to say it, but they were beau
tiful this morning, and it took me most
m hour to do them"
It was assuredly shame to spoil their
rigid perfection, but duty was stern, and
her voice more insistent than vanity's:
so Miss Amanda went briskly up the
street in the rain to board the car.
3. AS she stepped timidly up on the plat
form, her crimps shedding little streams
of water In her eyes, her hat a sodden
wreck, her umbrella the driest part OF
her outfit, she encountered the frank and
friendly regard of pair of brown eyes.
Miss Amanda blushed and then paled
as she thought of the unlovely state of
her crimps. She was in tremendous
autter when she finally found q seat and
deposited her damp bundle of lunch be-
side her. Opening her green reticule,
she peered into its capacious depths in
search of dime; then she thrust in her
hand, and finally the offending bag was
turned upside down, disclosing to view
key, a clean handkerchief, a tiny comb
and numerous other objects dear to the

new SEASONING STATIONS.
To Be Established in Timber Regions
by the Government Bureau
Of Forestry.

The bureau of forestry has recently
signed an agreement to make extensive
timbering seasoning tests in two western
states, in cooperation with two tele-
graph and telephone companies. Ex-
detrimental stations will be located at
Marinette, Wis, and Escanaba, Mich;
and probably third station will be es-
tablished at Ashland, Wis. The expense
of the experiments will be borne Jointly
by the bureau and the companies. Cedar
and tamarack telephone and telegraph
poles will be furnished by the state OF
Wisconsin free of cost, and two railroad
companies have agreed to haul them to
the experiment stations without charge
for freight.
The object of the experiments Is to de-
termine how many years can be added
to the life Of each pole by proper season
ing. Since millions upon millions OF
poles are used along telegraph and tele-
phone lines, even one years extra serv-
ice for each pole will amount to . tre-
mendous saving in expense. Unseasoned
cedar poles last from IL to Ii years.
Seasoning experiments have shown how
to increase this time by three Of four
years, and it is now expected to improve
on this increase. Past methods Of sea-
soning have effected drying out Of 20
per cent. Of the original weight Of the
poles. The better seasoned the pole,
the less chance there is for decay. which
is promoted by moisture.
Such experiments are Of large impor-
lance not only to telegraph and tele-
phone companies, but to all users Of
heavy timbers which come In contact
with the ground, at which line decay gets
in its most deadly work. It is believed
that still greater economies can be ~
cured by the use Of proper methods OF
preservative treatment. Tho latter is 4
subject which the bureau of forestry has
for some time been investigating, as sc;
forth in its bulletin No. Al, Seasoning
of Timber" and other publications.
Further bulletin dealing with different
aspects of the same problem will be
issued later.
