MONTAGUE WILL STAY IN RICHMOND.

The impression that Governor
Montague at the expiration of his
term of office. February 1st, would
leave Richmond and settle in New
York, prevailed pretty generally
a month or so ago, but it now APP
pears that he has no idea of leaving
the Old Dominion. Indeed the
Governor, from the very first. in
sisted that he had made no plans
for going North, but many of his
acquaintance thought this state
ment was accompanied by a mental
reservation. Friends of the execu-
tive now say that he will undoubt-
edly locate in Richmond after he
becomes a private citizen. and that
he will practice law there.

is that when the animal is agitated its

FOR A PARCELS POST.

The bill for the creation Of a par
GELS post which has been introduced
in Congress is one that will cause
a severe fight if it ever gets out Of
the comittee. There are immense
interests arrayed both for and
against it. As the case stands. the
United States is the only one of the
great civilized power that has not
a parcels post and even the United
States has a convention of that sort
with some foreign countries. for
instance Mexico and Great Britain
haveaparcels postthat carried goods
to New York though we have no
reciprocal arrangement. The I'M
dertaking would not mean a great
additional expense to the Post
Office Department, but it would
work more or less of a revolution
In domestic trade and it will be
pushed by the big stores in the big
towns and fought by the small
retailers all over the country for it
tends to encourage the mail order
business at the expense of the small
store-keeper.-Bedford Bulletin.

"A Religious Ceremony
OF all the millions who waltz. who

matedt The story is curious one. Ii
Is wrongly supposed that France re-

the close OF the eighteenth century.
The waltz did not emanate in its pres

: first mentioned under this name. II
was displayed on the village greens.
The waltz was first danced in the
church and serves 10 trace the union
between ancient civilization and that
Of the middle ages.
The sacred dance OF the pagans IS
preserved 10 certain extent in Chris
uan rites. 1t is transformed to series
Of revolutions made TO the sound Of the
tambourine. ST. ISadore. archbishop

which the MoOrs abandoned after their
capture OF the city, and it was after
that time called the Moorish rite. This
was known and employed In Provence
and Italy. The tambOurine In use in this
religious dance was called by St Isa-

which in the ancient sacred dances ac-
companied the flute, sort of bagpipe
invented two centuries before Christ.
As the religious dance Of the middle
ages Is allied 10 the ancient sacred
dance so the waltz is an evolution OF
this religious dance, having passed
through many changes before arriving
in It's present form. In the eleventh
century, when the Gregorian rite sup
planted the Moorish rite the dance dis
appeared from the church. 1t appeared
very quickly In society under the name
of 'carOle." n word derived from the

faultfinding and complaining in
their schools How many patrons
ever so inside of the school room
IN which their children spent the
most important part of their lives.
How many actually know whether
their school is good. bad or indif-
ferents Judging from the interest
manifested, how many actually
care! The schools of any commu-
nifty are just as good as the people
of that community want them to be.
| have enquired of twenty
superintendent what they consider
the greatest need of the schools of
their counties and without excep-
ton they replied, "a greater inter
est on the part of the patrons of
the schools. Only a little more
than holt of the white pupils who
are enrolled in our schools attend
regularly. The percentage of
school population enrolled Is 81 and
the percentage of attendance is
only 81. This shows an appalling
indifference on the part of parents
who by keeping their children
from attending regularly are de-
priving them of their birthright.
Parents should stop and consider
what it costs a child to keep it
from school.
The average educated man gets
a salary of $1,000 year. He
works forty years, making total
of $4,000 in a life time. The
average day laborer gets Sl.5O a

year. In forty years he earns
$4,000. The difference. or so. 900.
equals the value in earning power
of an education. To acquire this
earning capacity requires twelve
years at school of $50 days each.
or 2l60 days. Divide 50. 900 by
2l60. and it Is found that each day
at school is worth a little more
than $40 to a pupil.
OF course the above figures are
given a an average and there are
many persons who will not measure
up to the average in earning ca
pacity Just as there a great meny
who will exceed it, but however
YOU take it, the fact remains that a
mans efficiency is increased in
proportion 10 his education.
While the true object of equca-
tion Is not TO make money but to
make men, yet our education should
be industrially profitable or it fails
in a measure. The universal YER
dict of all history is that mans
power and capacity as wealth
producer is multiplied in direct
proportion to his education and
training.

wOMAN'S RIGHTS.
First Move In This Direction MADE I'm
Mcdford In lIOt.

The first recorded public meeting In
the interest OF "woman's rights" was
held Ina the town OF Medford In lT01.
The gallery OF the church was occupied
by the young unmarried people OF the
congregation. one side and one-half the
front gallery being given 20 the young
men. the other side and the other half
being given TO the young women. But
In the seating I'm the evcntful year the
young men were given the entire front
OF the gallery as well. and the young
women were allowed only one side OF
the gallery.
Then it was that things began TO hap
pen. Treatment like this wasn't TO be
tolerated. even for moment The
blood OF the future mothers OF the
Revolution was fully aroused. aud the
young women made such an uproar
and commotion that II speedily became
n town matter. and n town meeting
was called to restore to them their
rights in half OF the front gallery.
The young men OF the day were bit
terly opposed 10 extending any new
privileges 10 women. and the fight ex-
tended beyond Medford. shortly after
the Introduction OF pews into the
churches. 10y which families We're sep
arated from the remainder OF the con-
gregation. the Selectmen OF the town Of
Newbury gave permission TO a group
of young women TO build a pew In the
gallery OF the church upon their own
side OF the house. This extension OF
privilege was resented by the young
bachelors to such Il degree that they
broke window Of the church. forced
an entrance and hacked the pew In
pieces. For this act OF sacrilege the
young men OF Newbury We're fined SO
each and sentenced TO be whipped or
pilloried. But they were manly enough
10 confess their folly and ask pardon.
so this part OF their punishment was
omitted. So YOU see the "woman's
rights" movement isn't modern one.
