common schools. An effort was made
by the last legislature to establish
high schools in the rural districts,
and provision was incorporated in
the act that none Of these schools
should receive aid in towns and cities
Of more than 1000 population.
The board, however, which was ap.
pointed to administer this law avoid
ed the restrictions rs to cities and
towns and under their rulings most or
the schools established under the pro.
visions Of this act were established
in cities and towns of more than 1000
population.
If this movement means the i'm.
provcmcnt Of the schools in the rural
districts, we trust that it will not be
attempting to improve these schools
by establishing agricultural schools
in towns and cities where there are
already good school facilities.

Petitions are being circulated ask

the suggestions contained in thte re-

These petitions are being rapidly

A WALK OF HUMAN TEETH.

A walk of teeth is to be built around
the novel new home of DR.. John Kinsel,
in Bellwood. The doctor has been saw
ing up the ache producers he has ex-
tracted for the past 20 years, and ne
has a big stock of them on hand at
the present time. He never knew e1-
actly what he would do with them I'M
til he decided to build a round house
for a dwelling. Then he concluded to
use the teeth in the walk.
The dwelling is perfectly round, so
feet in diameter two storiesstaI, with
a cupola on top. 1t was constructed
of concrete blocks, manufactured by
the doctor himself.-Altoona (Penn.)

"When you are in doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
60 beginner n the work. 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
eeption are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
" what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as honey
and contains al the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Infu-
enza, Loss of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, aid all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.
DR.. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada,
says: az have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indicS-
ted but could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" It

object of the order is not to increase

CHANCE VERDICTS.
How One Judge Threw Dice to
Decide a Case.

The verdict of $3.50 against the New
York City Railway Company in favor
of Thomas Dickson for the killing of
his little daughter Lillian shows that
there. is a substantial difference be-
tween verdicts resulting from chance
and those rendered in a more formal
manner. In the previous trial the jur-
ors Tipped a coin, Dickson got moth
ing, and the jurors We're fined $50 each
by Judge Guy. Law was once defined
by a cynical member of the bar as
1.-The last guess of the Supreme Court. ;"
Evidently the jurors failed to realize
that the method of chance was judicial
prerogative.
Rabelais tells of Judge Bridlegoose
who threw dice for judgment. Sage
Wouter van Twiller, Governor of New
Amsterdam, in the suit by Wandle
Schoonhaven against Barent Blocker
adopted a more scientific scheme. After
weighing each party's books, counting
the leaves and finding the one equal
to the other, he pronounced opinion
that the accounts were balanced;
therefore Wandle should give Barent
a receipt and Barent should give Wan
die receipt, and the constable should
pay the costs" Even Biblical author
ity may be found, for was not Achan
found guilty by lot?
Despite these precedents the law con-
dennis such procedure. To follow the
language of one decision, the law con-
templates that the jurors shall by
their discussions harmonic their views
If possible, but not that they shall COM
promise, divide or yield for the mere
purpose of agreement" A somewhat
different rule applies as to quotient
verdicts, where each juryman puts
down sum and the result is divided
by Il. This is condemned if there has
been a previous agreement to abide by
the result, but not if such means are
adopted to secure an amount on which
the Il men may compromise.
In private affairs chance may work
out satisfactory results. BERTHE. the
lamb in The Henrietta tipped a
coin at critical moments and became a.
of finance But such conduct
is too irregular for judicial finding of
fact. The promise of the jury to rend-
er justice is then false as dicers'
oaths." What it is likely to do in any
event is a mystery beside which the
way of an eagle in the air, of a
serpent upon a rock, of ship in the
midst of the sea and of q man With a
maid is easily guessed; and expediency
dictates that the mystery be not deep

recommend sweets to the men and the
commfssary makes it easy for them
to get the best. Pure candy, and
especially chocolate bonbons of high
grade, are said to lessen the appetite
for strong drink and form one of the
best and most nutritious energy-pro-
ducing foods known.
They are especially recommended for
consumption in hot countries. When

CANDY FOR THE BATTLEsHIPs.

Fifteen thousand pounds of high
grade bonbons were shipped to the
supply ship. the Culgoa, of Admiral
Evans fleet. early in the great voyage
to Magdalena Bay. But this amount
of candy was not regarded by naval
men as at all excessive. In the sep-
arate canteens of the battleships there
was probably a much greater quantity
of bonbons. The CuIgoa's $1,000 pounds
was an extra lot taken as a precaution
against exhausted stocks OF a necessity
of life in the various ships. The at
titude toward candy has changed in
late years. 1t is no longer thought
childish or effeminate to eat bonbons.
