A Successful School.

For seventeen years the Valdez
College has been the leading school OF
its kind in this section Of the country.
1t has confined its labors to practical
education. In no wise has it entered
into competition with the state OF
endowed institutions. 1t takes money
and lots of it to equip school that il
may Law claim to do advanced educa.
tional work. The private school can
not do it. All it can do. and do il
effectively, is to confine its work to
a comparative elementary field. BY
so doing it can accomplish much and
be Of service to large class who de-
sire nothing more. The Valdez Nor.
NAL School maintains a department
that leads to first grade certificate.
All the branches are taught by teach
ers who are thoroughly educated and
have been connected with the school
for many years. 1t affords thorough
preparation for the teachers in the
comm on schools. Mrs. Lincoln is at
the head of this department. She is
supported by strong corps of teach.
ers.
The business and short hand de.
partments are presided over by Prof.
Thompson and Miss Hitler. These
instructors have held their present
positions for many years. With a
strong staff of teachers as assistants,
these departments offer to the gen.
eral public business training that
leads to promotion and success. II
the reader intends to attend school
this fall or winter it will pay to
drop postal for an illustrated cat
alogue of the Valdez Business College
and Normal School. SOL

The last rays Of the sun softened the
girls red hair into a golden halo as she
sat upon the log, her bare feet show
ing beneath the hem Of her cheap print
skirt On the log beside her was a
sunbonnet and pressing against the
sunbonnet was the helve Of an ak, such
as only very strong man was accus-
toned to WELD.
The girl was evidently resting after
day of hard labor, for deep around
her were scattered the still odorous
pine chips. and on the other side Of the
log rose huge pile Of wood. cut into
two foot chunks to At the regulation
fireplace of the mountain log and mud
cabin.
A handsome, powerfully built man
had come down the mountain path,
barefoot. and, as he seemed 10 think.
unnoticed, for he stopped few yards
away and regarded the girl for some
time with an air Of admiring owner

beautiful, and her form. even In It's de-
Jected attitude, was graceful and pleas
ing. The only appearance Of feminine
ornamentation was pitiful attempt at

Marking Books.

Every now and then you will find in
some periodical an item relating to the
subject Of book in which you are in
terested. 1t is good plan to enter ON
the dyleaf reference to this passage,
30 that you may find 1t again when
needed. Such notes neatly written In
pencil do no harm and will often save
you much time. You may in the same
way make notes Of the numbers Of
pages In which you have been specially
interested. A correspondent writes to
US asking whether we recommend
marking books" To this extent we
certainly do, provided the book Is not
so fine an edition that 1t should be kept
as spotless as can be. Besides, very
Light pencil notes can be removed in a
moment without harm to any page.
But the marking Of books that extends
to disfguring them will never be done
by any one who realizes how long a
good book may continue to delight new
readers and to bring them help tn right
living and thinking.-St Nicholas.

Dangerous Devices.

There We're some cunning devices In
vogue among the bellies Of the old
world for giving expression to the eye.
The most reckless Of them were wont
to place single drop Of that deadly
poison, prussic acid. in the bottom Of a
wineglass and hold 1t against the eye
for two OF three seconds. or. more
rashly still, they would take a small
quantity-a piece not larger than a
grain Of rice-of an ointment contain
ing that mortal drug, atropia, and rub
it on the brow. Each Of these was sup
posed to give clearness and brilliancy,
expand the pupil and impart fasci-
mating fullness and mellowness to the
eye. Certain slightly pungent and vol
atlle perfumes, such as oil Of thyme,
were occasionally worn on the hand
kerchief. causing the eye to glitter and
sparkle. The eye was made to appear
large, full and almond shaped by the
use Of fine pencil dipped In antimo-
NAL sulphur or Egyptian black. rubbed
upon the lids along the angle.
