Census and School Teachers.

II @ cnntlusIun of educators, that
"know lelgc comes. but wisdom lin,
ers" is confirmed by the United States
census, and has been just announced
in a treatise devoted to school teach
ers. According to lie census there are
many more school teachers than there
used to be. Twenty years ago the
av,rtge re of class in the schools
between years and 20. VIII II the last
oen.us was taken, the average class
numbered IL. and there were more
scholars Icing taught. Thus it is prov
ell that there are more teachers. And
it is most interesting to note that tie
majority of these teachers are SOUS
and daughters of foreigners who have
come to this country to settle. Most
of them are daughters, for the proper
ton Of female teachers is always OIL
the increase. There are now three
women teach, rs TO one male, while 90
years ago they were almost equal,
divided. The cities naturally have
moro teachers to the population than
the country di.tricts and small towns.
The public school systems are better
developed in the ccnters of population
Eighty per cent of the city teachers
IRE woIntn. The figures show, too.
that the ave age Of the women is high.
er than in the years gone by.
noaevtr, the Pi;tsburg Press finds
thar the:e is ono vital point that is
left uuttu he'd by the treatise, that is.
that these women teach. RS, as n rule,
are poorly paid aud do moro work, fol
less money. than any other class OF
people in the country. Some day
when they are appreciated at theil
true worth. they will get justice, and
that will mean more money.

MOON. WAS ONCE
PART OF EARTH

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. G.-Prof
essor W. II. Pickering, of Harvard. the
astronomer, is here n route home
from q visit to the Hawai- ian Islands.
He makes the interesting statement
that although lie had nev seen the
volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands pre-
vious to his recent trip tle.e, lie rec.
ognizes in them old familiar friends.
He says he met their ancestors from
afar. as it were. through u telescope
aud that they are similar to those of
the moCn--that is. those of the engulf.
nent variety.
While in Honolulu Professor Picker.
ing delivered u lecture in which lie
advanced the theory that tie moon
was originally a part of the earth and
was thrown off and that the Hawaiian
Islands were about in the center of
this lunar gonosis. The space that was
left when the moun material was
thrown of is the Pa"ili Ocean. Tie
large volcanoes of Mana Luke and
Ki!auea on the island of Hawaii and
Heleskala OH Maui were, Professor
Pickering stated. in many ways ex-
actly like those Ee had observed
through telescope on the moon.

Highwaymen at Lime Ridge.

Lime Ridge was tho sceno of hold
up Saturday night. in which Harry
Wertmau. the d. L. &W. ticket agent.
! was the victim. The highway men
we're very daring. but they lacked a
,, little IN cleverness.as they unwitting.
ly returned to tho owner sixty-fve
dollars which they had taken out Of
his pcoLet.
After the departure of the last train,
which reaches Danville at 9:l0, Mr.
Weitman closed his Office and started
for his home in Lime Ridge, about a
mile away. 1t was quite dark and
rainy and when about half way home
he was held up There were two men,
each masked. Mr.. wertmsn was taktn
unawares aud with two revolvers look.
ing him in the face he was unable to
do anything aud submitted as grace
fully as possible.
In his trousers pocket he had near.
ly five dollars in change, which the
robbers took. They next reached into
the inside pocket Of his coat and took
out a large wallet. In this altogether
there we're about 70 dollars in bills.
Mr.. Wertmau regarded all as lost but
lie asked the highwaymen to return
him the wallet, as in dependent of the
money it contained papers which were
of great value to him, but which they
could make no use of.
The hiahwaynfen proceeded to COM
ply aud abstracting ten dollars which
first met their gaze they returned the
wallet overlooking sixty-fye dollars,
which was contained in another divi.-
ion of the wallet along with the valu-
able piperr.
The robbers are supposed to be two
men who got on the train at Plymouth
and left it at Lime Ridge, taking the
pre- caution to step off the car OIL the
opposite side from the station. After
the robbery no clue could be obtained
of them.

Quail Will be Scarce.

Hunters do net look forward to a
very good season this year SO far at
last as quail and partridgos are con.
cerned. The severe winter and the
disease among quail have conspired to
reduce the number of the gamy little
birds very mach, while so far as this
section is concerned the number o.
phe saIts each year il growing less
and less until in the relatively near
future they will approach extinction.
Quail during last winter were found
dead by the hun lreds throughout this
county. Death in most inslanc S 10

but it is suspected that good many
were the victims of disease.

Tie Oyster and the K.

With the going out of the months
without an ar" there cutters the oys-
ter, ,at least that is the popula impress
sion, but as a matter Of fact the oyster
is with us always. There is no time in
the year that DAnville dealers will not
get a customer for oysters. To bs sure
in some months they are not As got d
as in others, but tho dealers say that
properly cared for the oyster is as
good in July as in December.
There used to be II law in Pcnusyl-
vania forbidding the sale of oysters in
May. June. July and August, the i'm.
preston being that they were injmr.
ious to public health during those
months. but the oyster dealers in time
showed how utterly absurd was ST CHI
a supposition aud the law was repeal.
ed. Therefore. you eau get oysters at
any time of the year.
But it is with the coming of Sept.
ember that the average man gets the
oyster habit. and as the days grow
cooler SO grows larger the appetite for
the oyster. and he will have every rea.
son to be satisfied this season. Dan.
Vile dealers who have heard from the
dreggers say that the oyster crop this
year will be the finest ever known
The weather conditions during the
summer we're perfect for fine oyster
growing. aud In quantity and quality
the crop will be splendid.
Morris River Ooses. from New
Jersey Crissfield's from Virginia. and
Blue Point and Rookaways from the
New York coast are all plentiful and
in good condition. But there will be
no change in the prices. despite tht
! fact that the yield will be enormous.
