Longer school Term.

Longer ScnOoI Eerm.
 The County Public Instruction Board has made application for state aid for eight schools of the county in addi- ton to the number already being as- sited hY the state. and if the request Is granted this number of schools will be maintained for a term Of eight months instead of six as at present The regular term of all schools which are not aided by the state. Is six months, but under the provisions or chapter 5SS1 a school where the aver age attendance during the six months Is so per cent. the state defrays the expenses for an additional two months. Many of the schools have been receiv- ing these benefits heretofore and this year eight more will be added. seven Of which are in the city and six In the county.
 This will be received with much qualification by the patrons of the school, who have desired a term or eight months for years. but could not secure 1t owing to the fact that the county Is unable to maintain such a large number of schools for such period.

March 19, for Buenos Ayres with cargo of lumber and timber Captain Jensen is well Known in this port anu has many friends anxious regarding his condition.
 The Hereford was a wooden vessei and was badly damaged during the hurricane. She was partly loaueu when the hurricane occurred and was blown high and dry on the oeach' where she remained for many months before a channel was dredged to her from deop water.
 Afterwards she was repaired, but It Is evident that she was in bad condi- tion when she left for sea. At least 1t is supposed that ther ewas weakness due to this storm which was not dis- covered when the repairs were made. The vessel was here for over six months and 1t was thought that when she finally got away on her voyage that her bad luck was at an end.

"A Tabloid TaIe-The Criminal.

From the Knoxville Journal and Tribune. Ivan Ovanovich was a housebreaker and for a long time success attended on his crimes but at last he was taken and sent to Siberia. There he remained sev- enteen years.
 He had gone to Siberia a hardened and bitter man.. He returned home kind and had revealed His truth to him. God had softened his heart
 And Ivan Ivanovich in order to atone for his many crimes, took the little money he had saved in prison, and set forth on the long pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
 After many hardships he reached the holy city. He saw the Sepulchre, the Mount, the Garden. And the burden of prayed

MlIIIonaires and the Pole.

From the New York World.
 American rich men, venturesome in many things. from trade to philan- thropy, are curiously disinclined to enter into projects of polar research. The fact is brought to mind by the ap- peal just issued for petty $60000 to complete the fund necessary for an other Peary dash to the pole.
 Morris K. Jesup, who provided most of the money for the previous Peary expedition, and the late William Zeig- Ter of Brooklyn, who financed the Bald win and Fiala expeditions, remain all most unique examples of such enter prise.
 Perhaps a reason for the indicated reluctance is to be found in the practi- cal disappearance of commercial mo- lives for Arctic exploration. Such mo- tiyes predominated until well along into the nineteenth century. Tn the Beginning there was the desire to eX- tend the limits of the fisheries north ward, and later there was the search for shorter water route between Western Europe and the Orient. Now the Northwest Passage, discovered by Amundsen, is little esteemed. and the finding of the Pole would be, as even Peary admits, chiefly a sentimental triumph.
 MT. Zeigler's interest in the North Pole was frankly patriotic rather than

Questions the
 Doctor Asked

People generally, and more especially those who have charge of children, can not be reminded too often of the neces- sity of keeping the bowels open. Hali the ills of mankind result from inactivity of the stomach, liver or bowels.
 You go to a doctor for some physical trouble, whether mild or serious, and what is the first thing he asks you1 It is, "how are the stomach and bowels?" It is question of vital importance, and no matter what your disease is or what he prescribes, he will include something for the stomach and for the bowels. The majority of sickness could be avoided by the timely use of remedy of that kind
 You cannot find anything better for the stom. ach, liver and bowels than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup you were to begin to-day, or at the approach of the first symptoms of digestive trouble yOu would have just 100 per cent better chance on Good Health than the one who doesn't take it.
 Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin should be taken for occasional or chronic constipation dyspepsia, biliousness, liver trouble fiatulency. sour stom- ech. sick headache, bad complexion and other ills arising from the primary cause of constipar tion or indigestion. It is guaranteed to do what is claimed for it, and q bottle at your druggist costs but 50 cents or Sl. You will find 1t gentle but prompt in action, pleasant to the taste and strengthening to the whole system.
 It is just such 8 laxative as everyone should take and especially children and weak people, because it does not sicken or gripe and leaves you stronger instead of weaker. which Is the case when salts or purgative waters are taken. MT. Jackson. of Harrisonville, Mo-. attributes bis present good health to the timely use of Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, and his is an action for you to follow. Buy it to-day.

Veoetables as Medicines.

From the Washington Star
 Watercress is an excellent blood pu- rifier.
 Tomatoes are good for torpid liver, but should be avoided by gouty people.
 Lettuce has a soothing effect on the nerves and is excellent for sufferers from insomnia. It also acts as a sedative upon the human frame owing to the opium it contains.
 Celery is a nerve tonic; so are onions.
 Spinash has great aperient qualities and is far better than medicine for sufferers from constipation.
 Beets are fattening and good for peo- pie who want to put on flesh; so are po- tatoes Asparagus stimulates the kidneys
 Bananas are good for sufferers from chest complaints.
 Cranberries are astringent and correct the liver when it is suffering from inac- ton caused by overheating. Cabbage is good for pulmonary com plaints. Dates are exceedingly nourishing ane also prevent constipation.

About the Nails.

Clara Marie D., s. J. T. and Others Manicuring the finger nails thoroughly once d week and cleaning and polishing them a little every day
 After clipping the corners take a long, flexible file and shape the nail to an oval bevel the edges and after clipping and shaping the nail soak in hot soap suds until the cutcle is softened. Clean care fully with the orangewood stick.
 1t is better to train the cuticle so that it will not grow up around the base of the nail than to be obliged to cut it. Of course, if it becomes broken or ragged, however, it must be trimmed. In drying the hands always rub the fingers away from the tips. This will do much to- ward keeping back the cuticle
 The nails now are cleaned and ready to be polished. Take an emery board and on it round and smooth the edges of the nails. Then dip finger--the mid de finger is best-into the rouge Be very careful in applying this that none is got on the cuticle or on the fingers, for its only purpose is to help impart to the nail transparent and rose-petal ap- pearance. The powder never should be rubbed directly on the nail. After using the buffer, if one cares for a high polish a little of the powder may be placed on the side of the hand and the nail rubbed in it. After polishing take a good stiff nail brush and scrub the finger tips with soap and water; then dry them again. using the side of the palm of the hand to polish them If ones fingers are short the nails should be allowed to be fairly long, and made slightly oval. This helps the fingers to taper and prevents them from looking flat. If the nails are corru- gated use powdered pumice, which can

EMPLOYING STENOGRAPHER

an unobtrusive young lady eating her lunch. Somehow she never seemed to be doing anything else. Look at her when I would (and it is only fair to me to say that I kept my gaze discreetly to myself as much as I could when she was eat ing), Miss Beach was at her lunch. eat ing it in a secretive sort of way and pop ping it back in the drawer of her desk whenever my chair creaked. To her ap- petite had no objection (thes young re- quire much nourishmenD, but when she began to include cheese among her dell cacies, and when every letter that she wrote had traces of food upon 1t, I be- gan to hesitate One evening at 590 she brought to my desk two-page letter Con which she had been working diligently for an hour and halD, and when I found a grease stain and smell of cheese on the first page and a generous smear of creamery butter on the second, I felt in- |, stinctively that Miss Beach and I must henceforth be as strangers.
 There were the first three, and the cream of the lot. Since Miss Beach went away, looking at me responsibility, I have had Miss Jenkins (who broke the typewriter), Miss Willis (who came to work tho second day in such a creation of tight-fttfng dress that the elevator men grew facetious whenever l showed myself in the hall, Miss Peterson (who co id take down dictation like a flash, but couldn't make head or tail of 1t aft erward), Miss Mumford (who insisted upon bringing her sentences to a sudden stop in the middle and starting afresh W | aAcapital letter whenever she felt like it) and Miss Grove (who spent one third of her time in writing personal letters, one-third in using the telephone and the balance in arranging her hair in front of the office mirror).
 Miss Grove was the last she exhaust ed the list of possibilities among the 300, and I therfore wish to take this opportunity of stating that if any bright young beginner (female) wants easy hours, and will state the salary desired, all she has to do is to drop line to Commercial.

The Use of Peroxide.

Matron, Batavia.-Blonde hair often changes as woman grows older. The reason for this is found in the changing of the hair pigment, the sulphur of iron increasing and becoming more powerful than the magnesa. The use of peroxide of hydrogen is not desirable because in time the ends of the hair become lighter then that at the roots.
 An excellent means of preserving the golden color is to shampoo the hair with eggs, adding the juice of three lemons and one teaspoonful of salts of tartar to the first rinsing water. Rub several eggs all through the hair and shampoo and rinse, then use several more eggs.
