PhlIanthrepie Naisses.
In several remarkable cases real phi
ianthr0py has been q miser's motive
In spending and saving to q grotesque
degree. Thus when the first Pasteur
institute was suggested In Paris to
keep green the memory Of the world
famous scientist poor wretch who
lived in utter misery came forward
with subscription Of $500 And
when the city officials called upon him
with a message Of thanks they found
him in an evil smelling slum behind
the Cathedral o. Notre Dame. When
the door was opened the miser philan-
thropist was found quarreling violent
ly with his miserable looking serv.
ant for throwing away a match that
had not been burned at both ends. A
similar case, but on a much larger
scale, was that OF Jacques Gurgot OF
Marseilles. Every one In the city knew
and hated him for his incredibly sor-
did life. yet when the old miser's will
was proved all France was amazed to
find he had left $25O,OOO to his native
city especially to furnish the poor
with good and cheap water supply.

MUCH MONEY

That the Yakima valley exhibitors
obtained practically no prizes at the
Apple Show at Spokane, almost every
thing of value going to Wenatchee,
cannot be but sore disappointment.
The reason therefore, however, is not
difficult to assign. While it seems
strange that Wenatchee, directly trib-
utary to Spokane, and British Column
bia, also considered in the Spokane
country" should have taken nearly
al 1.-The first prizes we believe the
awards were made by unbiased
judges. Wenatchee won the prizes
because their exhibits we're the finest.
For instance: Prosser entered the
district display" contest with thirty
boxes of apples secured from grow
ers after the best apples in this dis
trict had been packed and shipped
or sold for exhibition purposes else
where. The display was a handsome
one and reflected credit on the dis
trict, but was not in the same class
with that from Wenatchee, where five
hundred boxes of the very best ap-
pies had been especially picked and
packed for the apple show and from
them a selection made for the several
competitions in which Wenatchee
entered
Although Wenatchee won thousands
of dollars in prizes it is doubtful
whether all that they received more
than paid for the extra expense in
CURED in securing and preparing the
exhibits. The advertising value, how
ever, was immense and the people of
Yakima valley must learn that money
and lots of it is required to be spent
in order to successfully compete with
the growers of Wenatchee.
Throughout the year the country
will be flooded with advertising mat
ter displaying the fact that We
natchee took first prize in many class
es at the apple show and people
thinking of investment in fruit lands
will naturally receive the impression
that Wenatchee is the place to buy.
It is such advertising as enables We
natchee land owners to get $4,000 an
acre for their orchards. Not until
the people of the Yakima valley are
ready to spend money lavishly in ad-
vertising will they obtain the same re-
suits. The lands are just as good If
not better, the awards to the growers
just as large, If not larger, than at
Wenatchee, but the people don't know
it and can not know it unless we
tell them about it.-Ellensburg Lo-

THE HEAD HUNTERS.
Uneanny Trophies That Are Cherished
by the Oyaks.

The head hunting prOpensities Of
the Dyaks are we'll known to the stu
dents Of etlinology. The leading
thought in the taking Of heads Is the
idea that the conqueror could secure
the soul Of the conquered and add 1t
to his own. increasing thereby his
courage and strength and consequent
the head OF the victim remained In
his possession. 1t is therefore the
custom of the people after battle to
wrap the severed heads in a loose
crate Of rattan and smoke them over
a fire of damp wood and leaves. Then
they hang the CHASTITY trophies in the
houses In bundles having an uucanny
resemblance to gigantic clusters Of
grapes. each head forming a berry.
These war trophies are considered by
the Dyaks their most sacred posses
5ions and are guarded with the ut
most jealousy and vigilance. Their
loss would mean not only a considera-
BILE decrease of personal prestige, but
also the loss of part Of the SOUL
that is. Of courage and strength.
l have often had the questionable
privilege of sitting under the bundles
Of heads in the Dyak houses as the
seat Of honor and Of examining them
closely. Anakoda Unsang. who claim
ed to be my friend, was not q talka-
tive map. but when reused from his
usual stolidity would relate the cir
cumstances of many a battle and VIC
tory in the past with apparent gusto,
not unwilling to declare his courage
and reputed invulnerability.-H.L L. q.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever
when he has cold. The quicked you
cure the cold the less risk. Cham
herlain's Cough Remedy is the sole
reliance of many mothers, ana few
of those who have tried it are will
ing to use any other. Mrs. F. F.
Starcher, of Ripley, w. w., says: IL
have never used anything other than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
my children. and it has always given
good satisfaction" This remedy
contains no opium or other narcotic
and mayebe given as confidently to

How We Fall Asleep.

1t is not generally known that the
body falls asleep in sections. The mus
cles Of the legs and arms lose their
power long before those which sup
port the head and these last sooner
than the muscles which sustain the
back. The sense Of sight sleeps first.

Of smell. next that Of hearing and last.

Compulsory Education.
superintendent Holloway opened tha
subject OF compulsory education. There
had been several references to this
subject during tho discussions OF the
two days, many educators pronouncing
In favor of compulsory education, but
all admitting that 1t was hardly prac-
teal owing to the fact that there ara
not schools enough to accommodates
all tho children of school age. The con-
ferences final daliverAnce in this re-
gard was recommendation in favor
of Increased attendance by urging the
Importance of education. and. also, by
conservative legal requirement in such
communities as are prepared for this"
Mr.. Holloway's statement was the
most important, perhaps. made during
the session on this subject OF attend
ance. He told how In Florida thers
is law extending for two months
time the term of each school that
shows so per cent or over in attend
! ance. Some five hundred schools in the
state show this percentage of attend
ance in the schools Is 20 per cent. OF
the enrolment. The cost to the state
is about 100000 annually In this
way the most worthy schools receive
the most help. and the fund Is great
stimulus to interest in the schools.
| In listening to the discussions in this
conference, the thought came that

in larger theatre than the upper hall

come forward with a guaranty largely
in excess of the amount required by

has two or three communities working
to secure a high school

Mr.. Gunnels spoke feelingly of the
need OF qualified superintendency of
the country schools. He believed that

$50 each for schools next In order of
merit. Sixty-one schools took part In
the competition. The School Improve
ment Association is helping the school
library work also.
D1r, Gunnels. OF Alabama. said that
in his State ten years ago the average
length OF the school term was less
than three months. and the appropria-
ton from the State only $35o.o00 for
rural schools. Now the minimum
length of the school term as fixed by
law is five months. and the State APP
propriates more than s1,50o,000 to tho
schools. This amount does not include
the funds derived from county taxation
for school purposes. nor the aid given
by municipalities. Mr.. Gunnels stated
that under the Constitution OF Ala
bama only six and one-half mills could
be levied for all purposes on real and
personal property. and that under the
Constitution three mills was set aside
for school purposes. Mr.. Gunnels ven
tured the assertion that comparatively
speaking no State in the Union, as a
State. does as much for the public
schools. He said that while under the
Constitution only six and one-hal:
mills could be levied for all purposes
on real and personal property. the last
Legislature appropriated almost seven
mills for educational purposes. This
great progress Is due, he said to the
campaign for education which was be-
gun about eight years ago by DR.. John
w. Abercromble, who at that time was
superintendent of education. assisted
by the Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy,
DIR. Isaac w. Hill and other educators
in the State. The magnificent appro-
priations and other. school Legislation
given BY the last Legislature was bu,
the fruition OF a campaign which has
been waging for eight years in the
State. The last Legislature not only
added $4,000 annually to the rural
school fund, but made an appropriation
of $4,000 annually to be used in aiding
rural communities in the building OF
school houses. Mr.. Gunnels then made
this remarkable statement: Since the
law to aid in the building of rural
school houses went into effect, a school
house has been built for every week
day in the year. with two left over for
every Sunday over $250,00O has been
spent for schoolhouse Improvement Il,
the past four months.
Speaking of the encouragement
given to high schools. Mr.. Gunnels re-
ferred 70 the fact that, under a law
passed by the last Legislature, county
high school doing purely secondary
work was to be established in each
county in the State. Under the law
Ethe community procuring the school
must provide five acres of land and a
building of the value of at least $4,000
The State provides $4,000 a year for
the maintenance of the high school, but
the high school commission will insist
that communities guarantee a sufti-
cient supplement to make the high
school what 1t should be,

Superintendent Cousins said that in

secutively in the fall term, and the

Brantley, of the same State. followed,
and dealt in statistics and finances.
The school fund had been increased in
one year from $4,349,320 to s5,360,646,
or from SIS to Sc per capita. The school
term averages 25 months. There
are 1888 school districts, averaging
