Mans Logic.

Reformers gone mad. An
effort is being made in the
United States Senate to pass a
sixteenth amendment which
will prohibit: A ucassion
from marrying one of another
race who has more than a six
teeth blood of that race. And
no marriages between persons
if there is twenty-five years
difference in their ages.
We will bet the hole in a
dough nut that the self same
chump does not object to thor.
ough bred stock and yet to
get it, they must be inbred six.
teen times.
Inter marriage of relatives
merely accentuates their physi.
cal and mental qualities and of
course if the Senate goes to
breeding tools the result would
be-phools.

Tire Country School

maze
OF many an Indian summer
morn,
When through the rustliug
blades Of corn
Tue wiusome winds Of autumn
play
No race of winter, cold and
gray
Then fancy takes a backward
flight,
Forgotten pleasures come to
hight,
The luu aud frOlic, rigid rule.
or chrIdhood's joy-the country
school!
The course of study was not
high,
But small boys oft were made
10 sigh,
With eyes upon the dog-eared
book,
Not daring where's to
look;
"The rule of three" they pom
dered DER,
And sadly unused on Webster's
lore;
Of every story-loving boy
The teacher at his desk and
stool
Was tsar and sultan in the
school!
But minds Oppressed would soon
rebound,
When came The call of "fox and
hound;'
And "town ball" had its de-
voices,
Who scorned all games that
proffered case;
With laughing eve and rosy
cheek
The girls would play at hide
and.seek."
When books" we're called with
tinkling bell,
A thirsty crowd stood round
the we'll,
Waiting their parched lips to
cool
Before the grind of country
school!
Where are the boys who played
with me
In long, gone days of used to
beP"
All, some are sleeping, calm
and still,
BY Salem church-ou Goshen
hill.
And some are living, brave and
strong,
To lift their voice against all
wrong,
And in the pulpit or the pew
Upheld the good, stand by the
true
Thank God for all--the kindly
rule,
And lessons learned in country
school!

$35. 90 for expenses in connection with
the convention and $500 with which to

The Temby Mining Company,
The Liverpool Company

on John knights land is raising about
thirty tons of milling ore daily. Last
week they sunk the main shaft down
to the lower clay bed aud struck lead
ore; but water came rushing in so
strongly that they are as yet unable
to determine til thickness of the sheet
This mine when operated many years
ago yielded large quantities of lead
from another shaft to this lower open
ing--the lowest in which ore has been
found in paying quantities in this
whole region. A large pump will be
put on the mine at once and mill
will be erected rs soon as its neces-
sary capacity is determined.

A good strike was made on the
James Harris farm adjoining town on
the east, The mine there is operated
by Harry Brown, Chas. Gilman, Jr.,
Nicholas Gerlach, John Maloney and
DR.. f. w. Philip; and the strike was
made by their drillers at work ahead

down, and then a new shaft will be
sunk. This is generally considered by
mining men as the best showing from
drilling in this section.

old Mirror Separations.

The mistrust of the ghostly mirror is
SO old and so far spread that we meet
with it in the folklore of every land.
An old tradition warns us that the new
moon, which brings us such good for
tune when we look at it in the calm
evening sky, carries a message of evil
to those who see it first reflected in a
looking glass. For such unlucky NOR
tails it is said that the lunar virus dis
tills slow poison and corroding care.
And, again, it is declared that the
friends who glance at their reflections
standing side by side are doomed to
quick dissension. In Scandinavia the
Swedish girl who looks into her glass
by candlelight is told that she risks
the loss of her lover. One superstition
In this connection that seems to be al
most universal is that it is very un-
lucky for bride to see herself in q
mirror after her toilet is completed.
II she be discreet she will turn away
from that fair picture which pleases
her so well and then draw on her glove
Of have some tiny ribbon, flower or
jewel fastened to her gown that the
sour fates may be appeased and evil
turned away from the threshold.
