school teachers in that STATE, helps to re-
enforce the argument frequently made
that our educators In general, and public
school Teachers in particular, are a
wretchedly nnderpaid body of men and
women. As a result of it's investigations
the committee received returns from s,31s
teachers In elementary schools. and found
that a majority Of the women teachers
were working for from SO TO 50 per week,
while only $40, or about one-tenth. were
paid more than $40. II was found that
half the women teachers In Maine are
working for less than 500 year.
In comparing the pay Of Maine teachers
with the wages Of cotton mill operatives
In the State, the committee found that the
balance In favor OF the former was very
slight. For instance, the 6.53D women
working in the cotton mills Of Maine get
an average weekly wage Of 500 whiis
the women school teachers get an aver
age weekly wage OF $500. The men In
the cotton mills of Maine get an average

enthusiastic spirit to the reception
The ..home folks were the most en-.
thusiastic Of all. On two big tugboats
which jonrneyed down the bay side by

There was broad smile on Mr..

one when he saw his old friend, Mayor
"Jim" Dahlman of Omaha, standing on

II Would Be Folly.

Intelligent perception of the truth
regarding reciprocity in competing ar
ticles is shown in the following extract
frcm the address of President James
r. MacColl, at the fall convention of
the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers at Lake Champlain:
The wave of tariff revision and re-
ciprocity is subsiding. Under the pres
ent law there is marvellous prosperity,
in which all classes of the people are
sharing. Common sense says, Let
well enough alone Reciprocity is
found upon investigation to mean the
sacrifice of one section of the country
or one industry, that another section
or industry may grow more rapidly.
In nine years under the present tariff
the national exports have increased
from $1,032 100000 to SLIT, 900, 900,
which places the United States in this
respect i'm the first rank among the ma
tons of the world With labor and
capital fully employed and unable to
meet the demand, it would surely be
folly to reduce duties and buy more
foreign goods, in order to increase our
exports by an equal amount. The
chances are we should accomplish the
former but not the latter
Mr.. MacColl is evidently a man with
brains reinforcing business capacity of
a high order. He has thought out the
question for himself, and he finds that
To secure an Increase of exports at the
cost of diminished home production is
an economic folly and commercial
blunder Morally reciprocity is a fraud
and q wrong. Commercially to a ma
ton such as the United States ii must
inevitably prove loss and an injury.

DIR. Williams Pink pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vitus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, OH the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.

KING OF SAFE-BREAKERS.
Marvellous Delicacy of Hearing Pos
sessed by Miner James.

"Milner James was the most artistic
safe-breaker in the business" said
Lecocq the detective. HE is dead
now. He opened in his time over 700
safes without tools or gunpowder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient fingers.
1t took me year. he once said,
to learn the trick of picking combina-
lions. l studied all the locks there
were and had three safes Of different
makes TO practice on. The ear is the
most important factor in my method
and it must be held tight against the
safe door on line with the tumblers.
When the knob of the lock is turned
slowly and one Of the tumblers reach
es the notch corresponding to the first
number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with a little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
tumbler. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.
Hardly one man in thousand has an
ear delicate enough for this work and
to be success at it you've got TO give
un tobacco and alcohol
