STATE AID FOR LIBRARIES.

. very rev teachers or boards seem to realize
how much aid they or the community at large
may get thro a good library, how easy 1t Is

because they have nothing to read that is suited
to their years, or else they read any books or
papers which to their hands These are
often the kind of literature which gives them
distorted view Of life and arouse their interest
In communicating and repulsive conditions when
their minds should be free from all evil No
teacher or board should allow this when books
can be obtained easily
At the first purchase Of books, the State will
furnish dollar for every dollar provided by
the school, not exceeding $4,000 for the first
years purchase thus enabling a district which
furnishes $1,000 to receive $4,000 worth OF
books and district which furnishes $4,000 to
receive $4,000 worth.
Every following year the state will give the
district $1,000 for that purpose, providing the
district furnishes at least the same amount

pose. A subscription list circulated a social, or
a school entertainment given with the under

Sheep Are Profit; ,Ie.-There is
practically no farm animal that re-.
spends more readily to good care or
gives better returns for the feed than
the sheep A series of experiments
recently concluded goes to show that
under proper conditions pound of
mutton can be produced from less
grain than can any other meat raised
upon the farm. 1t only requires half
the amount of grain to do this that
1t takes to produce pound of beef
and the amount is even slightly less
than in the case of pork production
Where sheep can be handled properly
they are certainly one of the hest,

Foreword-There is a compensation
in everything-even to the man who
was blessed ca with disorderly wife.
No matter how much everything was
at skies and sevens in the house, and
nothing in it's rightful place, he could
always get up in the middle of the
night and put his hand on the fly
paper without ever having to strike a
match. Merrily yours, Marshall p.
Wilder.
There is morbid desire latent in
the breast of nine-tenths of humanity
to have it out with Fate, sooner or
later, and to "best' her, if we can.
If the old lady has been particularly
hard on us, we feel that our grievance
is just about the worst ever; and then
we want to do something desperate.
If we are in the neighborhood of eight
years or Whereabouts, we fly to the
candy shop and sink our all in pepper
minis and gumdrops. If we are at the
romantic period, when love has every
thing else at discount, we get real
reckless and say to our best girl,
Come! to the altar! Let us plunge!
Ho! there, installment man! rag-time
portieres and marble-top cradles for
ours!" Then, when we have done the
deed, we're not sorry-no, indeed; only,
1t entails responsibilities, and things;
and consequences-the inevitable con-
sequences, as Kipling puts 1t. So, let
