Does Not Favor Elective School

Boyce Advertiser.
One of the late bills passed by
the House is to make school
boards elective. We believe this
wrong, as we already have enough
petty officers for trading stock.
as there has always been attend
ency to trade small offices to in
competent men to secure their
influence, which half of the time
does not amount to a row of

Miss oteMsNonoId

More than likely you speak the same,
words yourself, and no doubt you feel
far from we'll. The cause may be easily
traced to some arrangement of the fe-
male organs which manifests itself in,
depression of spirits. reluctance to 90
anywhere or do anything, backache,
bearing-down pains, f1atulency, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, or other 6e-
male weakness.
These symptoms are but warnings.
that there is danger ahead, and unless.
needed a life of suffering or a serious
operation is the inevitable result,
The never failing remedy for all these.
symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

SALT FOR CHOLERA.

At a meeting of the Kansas Poultry
Association Mr.. E. Harrington said:
This fall Mrs. Harrington discovered
that the cholera had appeared among
her chickens, / had heard somewhere
that there is nothing to beat salt as
a ~disinfectant. had the hired man
clean the henhouse as clean as ne
could. wash it out thoroughly with
just as strong brine as he could make,
and fill every crack and creyice with
the brine. He did so, and We haven't
lost a hen since. l tried the same
thing on my hogs when the cholera
broke out among them, and | am sat

prevented a further spread of the dis

knowledge and Culture.

High marks in examinations de-
oend upop a trained memory and a
nower of acquiring irrelevant informa-
tom. Culture, on the contrary, is a
svm~pathetic assimilation Of the best
in the realm OF thought and achieve
nent.
Culture is a slower process and a
deeper, and its reward strikes fur.
theft in. Assimilation of the best that
has been thought and accomplished
affects net merely the brain, but the
characterize whole spirit Of q man.
Culture implies a soil lploughed and
fertilized, where whatever seed falls
Sas the better chance for growth.
Information even in vast quantities,
so long as it remains mere informa-
ton, used for purposes of passing ex.
aminations, need not affect the man
ners nor the morals of a man; both
may remain hopelessly lax in an en-
cyclopedian mine of facts: But cul-
ture affects primarily the manners
and the morals. A cultured gentleman
has external methods of getting on
with his kind; he has the true sense
of relationship, the feeling that all
he can learn to feel or to. be~ is not
for himself, but for service; he knows
himself in a network of human inter
relations. In the end, the test Of
knowledge is not examination marks.

Old Chinatown Gone Forever.

No quarter of the whole town is
more strangely altered than what was
once the congested picturesqueness of
Chinatown. Where the wooden build
;ngs have melted into ash a stout
property line Of heavy wire, rein
forced by an armed guard, has been
stretched across to prevent any
further footing of the heather by the
Christian hordes. To one who has
loved this Chinese. quarter, which ex-
ercised upon some minds a faseina-
ton undimmed by familiarity, the de-
~struction of Chinatown is the most
poignant loss of the San Francisco
FIRE. The faults of dirty, smelly, de-
lghtful old Chinatown will prevent
its ever being what it has been. AS 1
sat on a little embankment, where a
bazaar had stood, amid the hot ashes
of Chinatown, a tingling in the throat
from the acrid smoke that curled up
from the burrowing little fires about
me, I could think of no more joyful
consolation than that Robert Louis
Stevenson had not lived to feel the
pang of this d~esolation. Just below
me the shaken house where he had
lived and the little golden galleon of
his monument outlived the ruin of the
quarter that he had loved.-Fkom

Francisco in the Century.
