Newspapers as Educators:

An experienced teacher says that
pupils who have access to newspapers
at home, when compared with those
who do'not, are better readers, better
spoilers, better grammarians, better
punctuators, and read more under
standingly, and obtain practical
knowledge Of geography in almost
half the time it requires others. The
newspaper is decidedly an important
factor in modern life. This will not
be disputed by any one who has taken
the trouble to investigate the matter
for himself.
The local paper should be found in
every home. No child should grow
up ignorant who can be taught to
appreciate a home paper. 1t is said
to be the stepping stone of intelli-
gence. Give your children q foreign
paper which contains not a word
about any person, place or thing
which they ever seer or heard of, and
how could you ever expect them TO
become interested2 But let them
have home paper, read Of people
whom they meet and know, Of places
with which they are familiar, and
soon an interest is awakened which
increases with every arrival of the
local papers all their lives, and they
become intelligent men and women,
and strong in the knowledge of the
world.-Exehange.

How Advertising Paid.

Don't advertise if you believe you
are wasting money. Let your COM
petitor waste his money on advertis-
ing, and perhaps in this way you'll
soon Hput him out Of business. y Fix
his clock for him. just stand back
and laugh at him when you see him
squandering his money for printers
ink. Once there was boy named
John-we think his last name was
Wannamaker, or maybe it was
Moneymaker, anyhow his name was
John with some sort of a maker at,
tached to his name. He owned 500
yards of calico, three pairs of pants,
half dozen pairs of boots. He call
ed this dry goods store and offered
to sell a pair Of socks for 81 cents.
The don 't-believe-in-advertising mer-
chants laughed. Young John spent
$65 with the Philadelphia Ledger to
advertise just one time and had less
than $100 worth of goods. He was
cautioned by the merchants who
"knew it didn't pay!" 1t was
through sympathy that they offered
him advice. But John didn't listen
to them, and went and blew his money
in foolishly; and today poor John
sees the result of his misdoings-be
has so many large dry goods stores
that he can hardly find time to study
his Sunday school lesson.-Baldwin

christmas Tree Destruction.

1t was reported from Vermont some
days ago that young coniferous trees
to the number of 100000 were sacri-
feed to the Christmas tree market
from that State alone last year-two
cents apiece having been paid noun
tain farmers and their children for
getting them, and it was said that The
devastation would be worse this year.
A dispatch from Maine published yes
terday said that some $4,000 had
been realized by farmers Of that State
this season from the same source. II
the cutting of these young trees were
pursued intelligently and with discrim-
alton there would be nothing to grieve
over, but the chances are in most
cases that it has been a ruthless
slashing conducted by the farmboys
very largely.-Springfeld Republican.

The Blizzard That aIizzes.

blizzard" is an American word.
The date and circumstances Of its
origin are obscure. Though it was
first commonly used by the American
newspapers as good word for a snow
squall in the winter of 1SS0-1SS1, it
is said to nave been known to the
west in that sense nearly twenty
years earlier. From an English writer
of 1884 this sentence is quoted: "a
gentleman at dinner asked me for
toast, and. supposing he meant to
have some fun at my expense, con-
cluded to go ahead and give him and
his likes a blizzard" Here blizzard"
might we'll mean q metaphorical vol
ley, which would square with the evil
dence of a correspondent of an Amer
lean paper who recalled that in the
4Os blizzard" was a particular kind
of yolley-a rattling one fired in quick
succession.-Kansas City Star.

Agnes Reppler's Favorite Recipe.

Miss Agnes Reppler. the essayist,
is extremely fond of tomatoes, pre-
pared in almost any manner. In her
opinion, however, there is no better
way which they can be cooked than
to bake them after the method set down
in the following recipe: Pour two
tablespoonfuls of the purest olive oil
into a baking dish. Add four tables
poonfnls of grated bread-crumbs that
have already been mixed with parsley
and other herbs, all of which must
have been chopped very fine. Season
with pepper and salt. Upon this bed
of oil and crumbs lay a dozen toma-
toes that have been cut in halves.
Cover them with four more tables
poonfuls Of >bread-crumbs that have
previously been seasoned in the same
way. Pour over all two more tables.
poonfuls of oil, and send the dish
to a hot oven, where the tomatoes
must bake for about one hour.-The
Delineator for April.

the benefit of other sufferers, as duty to

lowing letter:
