completed in Tennessee and North

finished in Kentucky and Virginia.
In the extreme northern States there
is an encouraging outlook for apples,

somewhat impaired by extensive drop

The Two nIysteries.

We know not what 1t Is, dear, this
sleep SO deep and still.
The folded hands, the awful calm,
the cheek SO pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again,
though we may call and call,
Tne strange, white solitude Of peace
that settles over all.
We know not what it means, dear,
this desolate heart pain,
This dread to take our daily way
and walk in it again;
!. We know not to what other sphere
the loved who leave us 20,
Nor why we're left to wonder still,
nor why we do not know
But this we know: Our loved and dead
II they should come this day,
Should come and ask us "What, is
life?" not one Of us could say.
Life Is a mystery deep as ever death
can be,
Yet oh, how sweet it is to us, this life
we live and see.
Then might they say-these vanished
ones-and blessed is the thought
so death is sweet to us, beloved
though we may tell We naught;
we may not tell 1t to the Quick--this
mystery of death
Ye may not tell us, if yc would, the
mystery Of breath"
The child who enters life comes not
with knowledge or intent,
So those who enter death must 20 as
little children sent:
Nothing is known. But l believe that
God Is overhead.
And as life Is to the living, so death is
TO the dead. Walt Whitman.

A Russian OmciaI Shot.

The Russian minister at Bsrne,
Switzerland NJ. V. V. Jadoviski, was
shot in street there Friday afternoon
and seriously Injured in the head. His
would-be assassin was arrested. He
is Russian named Ilnitzki. He had
been in Bern for some weeks and COM
planned that the Russian authorities
had contiscated an estate belonging to
him. M. Jadoviskl's wound, although
it at first appeared to be dangerous,
is not dangerous. Ilnitzkl is an en-
gineer and was formerly a Russian
officer, but now is Turkish subject
with Turkish passport. The Russian
minister received several threatening
letters from Ilnitzki which he turned
over to the police. Friday morning
Ilnitzki questioned the minister re-
garding his claim, but obtaining no
satisfactory reply shot him.

THE SCHOOL LAW.
An Important Change Made BY the
Late Legislature.

There was an important change
made in the school law last year which
escaped the attention Of a majority Of
those interested in education and
which Is now being called to the at
tention Of the county superintendents
Of education by Superintendent Mar
tin. The law has changed the time
for the appointment Of trustees by the
county superintendent from the
even to the odd years. Under the other
law the appointments were usually
made in a political year apd from a
political standpoint this was bad as
many Of them were made with a view
to re eletion and those that were
made on merit sometimes made others
mad so that good ofllcer was some
times defeated. The following letter
is being sent out.
TO county superintendents Of educa-
tion:
Gentlemen: Il desire to call your
attention to the amendment to Sec
ton 1910 OF the Code, 1902, found on
page 52S Of the acts OF 1904 1t says
Each County Board OF Education on
the first Tuesday Of July 1905 and on
the first Tuesday in July two years
thereafter, shall appoint for each
school district in their county three
school trustees, from the qualified
electors and taxpayers residing in the
district" etc. AS you knew, the old
law read 1896 instead OF 1905; SO in
appointing trustees this year, allow
me to suggest that you commission
them for one year only so as to be
ready for the new law next year. II
you simply allow the present trustees
to hold over, it will have the same
elect.
Sincerely yours,
O. B. MARTIN,
Superintendent.

shock, Mrs. Leopold getting much of
its force. Just at that time Mrs. Leo

Hero Are the Rules n French Scient-

hCTC are lne Ieule6 II fTCnCn SCtent-
list Prescribes Therefor.
TO live one hundred years a French
physician has laid down the following
rules for human beings to observe.
l. Bre athe fresh air day and night
2. Take outdoor exercise each day
either by working or walking.
3. Eat and drink moderately and
simply. Choose water, milk and fruit
rather than alcohol
4. Foltify yourself by washing
daily in cold water and by taking q
hot bath once a week
5. Do not wear clothes which are
either by working or walking.
6. Live In a house that Is spacious
and dry.
I. Work regularly.
8. After work do not seek repose
In exciting distractions. The hours of
leisure bel ng to the family; the night
is for sleep.
8. Ennoble your life by good ac-
tiOns.

tions. So far as they apply to local
life, we presume none Of our citizens
could be worse off for following them.
In fact, our present daily life is
modelled much after the same lines.
We are not all fortunate enough to
have roof gardens for sleeping apart
ments, but the tendency to seek pure
air is in evidence among the lowliest.
Ii we can't get abundant exercise in
walking, we get about as much in bal
ancing ourselves in overcrowded trains
and trolly cars, and we eat moder.
ately enough because, With the ten
dency toward increased prices for food,
there is no other alternative
Public and private baths are in
creasing everywhere at IN unusual ra-
ito, and the tendency of the age, even
among the fair sex, is to combine
comfort with fashion in such way
that beauty or "the mode" shall not
be the price of physical fortune.
The French physicians doctrine is
simply that OF nationality, and cvolu.
tion seems to be following exactly on
that theory.
