THE NEW BOOK NUISANCE.

Every fall with the opening of the
schools, begins the new book nuisance.
Parents who fitted Jimmie, at con-
siderable expense, with a full equip
ment Of algebra, ancient history, Latin
and physics textbooks at the begin
ming of last year And that these books
will not do for Susie this year, and
they have learned also that next year
Susie's books will never in the world
suit Mamie's teacher, who likes bet
ter the works of some other publica-
ton house. Each season Jimmie and
Susie and Mamie must be fitted anew
with expensive books, although they
have not at all finished the courses
laid down in the old ones, nor have
the old ones been worn out. Neither
have the discoveries in ancient his
tory enlarged that study measurably
during the interval, nor has the sci
ence OF algebra taken on new form,
nor the language OF the dead Latins

It is the same every year. Parents
are constantly complaining that they
are virtually 'held up" for expensive
works that, nine times out OF ten, are

except that they have fresher green
binding, perhaps, and the name of
another publication house in gilt let

now. A few teachers who have been
parents themselves rspudiate the
practice; few school boards, who
do not mind being called "old fash

book houses, refuse to stand for the

this condition OF AFFAIRS is fer the local

BAD FIRE IN
PURSBLL'S HOLLOW

The smoky condition Of the stmos
pherc uoticeable.yesterday is attributed
On some moasure,to mountain fires in
Valley tovnshipIthat were started ON
Sunday.
a gentleman from Valley township
yesterday statedsthat the fires are un-
douhtedly to be attributed to gunners,
who despite the law, which carries
with it penalty Of s25. habitually
frequent the mountain in search of
game on Sunday
The Sabbath stiffness, he said, is
broken blythe sound of the gun and
still worse, fires are started in the
woods that jeopardise great deal of
property and are extinguished only at
the expense of loss of time and hard
work.
Two weeks ago on Sunday a fire was
started on Montour ridge Last Sun
day another fire was started in Pur-
sells hollow. The flames spread rapid.
ly and conditions were favorable for
widespread damage when a number OF
citizens turned out to fight the fire.
The men were obliged to remain out
nearly all night. They got the fire
somewhat under control and probably
everything will be safe until Sunday
occurs again when no doubt another
fire will result.
The residents are becoming very in
dignant and think the authorities
should take action that viii break up
the practice Of hunting on Sunday. 1t
IS believed that the fires are started
wantonly by these gunners who vio-
late the law.
