PRINCIPALS REPORT.

Prof. l.. p. Sterner, Supervising
Principal of the Public Schools,
made his monthly report to the
School Board last Friday evening.
1t is as follows:
The eighth month of the present
school term ended last Tuesday
with an enrolment of 1917. The
average daily attendance for the
month was exactly one thousand.
The percentage OF attendance of the
pupils in the High School building
was 81 in the Third street build
ing 90, and in the Fifth street
building, ok. There were but
few cases of truancy during the
month. The pupils monthly re-
ports were better this month than
last, and | conclude that they are
aware of the fact that the final ex-
aminations are near.
The senior examinations closed
today. The questions were pre-
pared with great care, and the re-
suits, excepting few cases, were
satisfactory. One senior was ex-
amined in the subjects in the Class
ical course, one i'll the English, two
in the Normal and five in the Bus
iness course. have tabulated the
marks made by each one in each of
the branches and will report these
orally.
Our Commencement week this
year will begin the first Sunday or
second day of June. In the even
ing of that day, DR.. Canoe has
promised to preach the class SER
mon in the Methodist church. On
the Tuesday evening following,
June 4, we will have the annual
contest in defamation, and OH
Thursday, June 9th the Commence
ment exercises. If you decide to
close the schools on Memorial Day,
the term will end Wednesday,
June 5th.
Since making my last report l
have examined seven schools i'll
spelling. OF the 264 pupils exam
ined but three fell below eighty.
OF 46S in 10 schools examined only
five have fallen below the standard
This is a creditable record in this
branch. The final examinations in
Arithmetic will be held two weeks
before the close of the term, and
the other finals the last six days of
the term. Some of the examina-
ton questions have been prepared,
and the pan of holding the exami-
nations has been carefully formu-
lated.
Respectfully submitted,
l.. p. STERNER.

The Profanity Habit.

In all the catalogue of vices and
sins there is nothing so senseless as
the habit of swearing. 1t degrades
a man without giving any recon-
pense. A drunken man may for
get for a time his troubles, or he
may feel, briefly, sense of exhila-
ration preceding the after period Of
remorse and shame, but the pro-
fame man derives no form of pleas
ure from his profanity. His is the
shame without recompense, and if
he feels no remorse, then so much
the greater is his shame.
Profanity is the language of the
illiterate and the vulgar. Our lam
guage is of such vast vocabulary
that no educated man need employ
profane words to help express his
thoughts. One cannot conceive of
a man like Roosevelt punctuating
his conversation with profanity.
We now and again meet a man
who is in all other particulars a
gentleman, and yet who has fallen
into the profanity habit to such an
extent that the most disgusting
oaths slip into his conversation un-
awares. Such a man is to be pitied,
for his speech will constantly be-
tray him. The oath slips out in
the presence of ladies and with due
embarrassment he apologies u.
Apologies for what? For not
being a gentleman. The oath slips
out in the presence of gentlemen
and he forgets to apologize. The
profanity habit is so senseless that
any intelligent man should be
ashamed to acquire it. Omitting
entirely the religious aspect of the
profanity habit, it indicates lack
of culture and a want of considera-
ton for others inconsistent with
gentlemanly conduct. And what
doth it pro6tl

The organ recital by S. Wesley
Sears in the Methodist Church next
Tuesday evening should prove of
unusual interest to Bloomsbury
people, as Mr.. Sears received a por-
ton of his early musical training
here while his father was pastor of
the Church. He has since broaden
ed himself considerably in his art,
having studied abroad under Sir ]
Frederick Bridge, the Organist of
Westminster Abbey, and later un-
der Charles Marie Widor, the dis
tinguished French Organist and
composer. Mr.. Sears is Organist
and Choirmaster of St. Clement s
Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, a
Church which for many years has
been renowned for the excellence
of its musical services. AS many of
our fellow townspeople as possible
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of hearing him play the fine
organ in the Methodist Church
next week. Silver Offering at door,

HUMAN HEAD DUG FROM RIVER
BED.
Coal Diggers in Suspuehanna Near Sunbury
Find Head Of Man in Bucket.

Men operating coal digger in
the North Branch of the Susque-
hanna River, near Boyd's station
little above Danville, shortly
before noon last Saturday, dug up
a human head. The discovery was
made when the contents of one OF
the buckets on the endless chain of
the machine were emptied on flat
and the employees noticed mass
of matted hair protruding from the
combination of coal and dirt. When
examined the object was found to
be the head of a human being in
badly decomposed state.
From appearances the head had
been in the water for a long time.
1t had been cut from the body close
to the chin by sharp knife and
there were several stab wounds on
both sides of the face. 1t is be.
lieved the head belongs to the head
less body which was found floating
in the river below Sunbury several
months ago, sewed up in burlap
sack.
The gruesome discovery of the
head was made by Frank Baylor,
one of the employees of the digger,
when it was seen to appear on the
endless screen. The engine was at
once stopped and the head left on
the screen while Justice +. w.
Young, of Riverside was notified.
He in turn notified Coroner Dreher,
of Northumberland county, who
directed that the head be embalmed
by the undertaken. This was done
and later in the day jury was em-
panelled, finding that they believe
the man to whom the head belonged
had been murdered.

HARTz, GO0SEBONE WEATHER
MAN, DEAD.
For Forty Years He Had Forecssted Condi-
tons in His Way.

Elias Hartz, of Reading, the
famous goosebone weather prophet,
died Saturday at the Friends
Asylum, near Philadelphia. Hartz
was known all over the country on
account of his peculiar weather
representations. Mr.. Hartz was
92 years of age and he has foretold
the weather as indicated by the
markings of the goosebone for
nearly TO years. Some months ago
he was taken to the Friends Asy-
lum because of infrmities incident
to old age. He gave goodby to
many friends and said that he had
made his last prediction from the
goosebone. He was a picturesque
old man was personally known to
thousands of people in Reading and
Berks County and had a large num-
Der of followers, who, with him,
never took any stock i'll Govern
ment reports but had implicit faith
in Mr.. Hartz's method of foretell.
ing the weather. He received letters
from all parts of the country.
Fe was born in western Berks,
near the Lancaster County line,
and when youth was apprenticed
to miller, who had local reputa-
ton as a goosebone weather pro-
phet. Mr.. Hartz always declared
that the art of reading the goose
bone correctly was a science, and
he became an adept. For the last
40 years his forecasts have been
eagerly looked forward to by the
people of Pennsylvania and neigh
boring States.
1t was his custom to select
goose born in the spring of the year.
This he would carefully raise and
watch until the following Thanks
giving Day, when he would enjoy
the fowl for his dinner. On this
date he would be besieged by neigh
bors, friends and newspaper men
to give them his reading of the
goosebone. No one ever questioned
his accuracy, and if he predicted
billiards., severe cold weather and
heavy SHOWS, it was taken as fact
that that would be the state of the
weather for the ensuing winter.
In January he would give a sup
Elemental reading of the goosebone.
Mr.. Hartz never despised the low
ly grounding and admitted upon
all occasions that it was valuable
adjunct in determining the state of
of the weather.
He claimed that in his long ca
reer he only made one mistake, and
that was when wag palmed off on
him the bone of gander. After
that he carefully looked after the
goose from whose bone he made his
forecasts. Farmers, particularly
believed in his predictions and they
frequently consulted him as to put
ting out their crops in spring.
About 10 years ago the country
enjoyed a mild fall, and during the
Thanksgiving season Mr.. Hartz
issued his famous warning, Fill
your coal bins" at the same time
issuing portend of a disastrous
winter. Many laughed at Hartz.
Hundreds took his advice. 1t was
the seyerest winter in a generation
and Hartz's reputation was more
firmly established than ever.
