Lie 100000 Years Ago.


Scientists have found in cave in
Switzerland bones of men who lived
100, 900 years ago, when life was in
constant danger from wild beasts.
Today the danger, as shown by A. W.
Brown of Alexander, Me-, is largely
from deadly disease. eff it had not
been for DR.. Kings New Discovery,
which cured me, l could not have
lived" he writes, suffering as I did
from a severe lung trouble and
stubborn cough" To cure sore
lungs, colds, obstinate coughs, and
prevent pneumonia, it's the best medi-
cnie on earth. SOC and S1.OO.

Pickerel Won thesBout.

Willard Howard was determined to
secure the big pickerel which he land
ed on the Shiny shore of the Rum
river and so jumped from the bank
and straddled the leviathan. There
was a mighty tussle between the two,
the line snapped, and both slid into
the water. Willard, who had his
fingers fastened in the gills of the fish,
held on for five minutes, when the
pickerel, being in its natural element
and thus having the advantage,
slipped away. It was q. terrific
struggle for supremacy and when
Willard, exhausted, crawled out upon
the bank, covered with mud and slime,
he exclaimed, Never more!'
George Rice, who was fishing near the
spot, was so convulsed with laughter
that he rolled off the edge of the bank
and accumulated considerable mud on
his clothes.

The Laborer and His Hire

At a conference in New York Of
foreign missions boards reference was
made to the increased cost of living
Of missionaries home on leave, which
made it harder for them to get along
than if they stayed in their foreign
field Of labor
Why," said the speaker, "a mission
airy must travel decently, and that re-
minds me of story of Mr.. Spurgeon
and fellow clergyman. The two were
just starting on a railway journey and
Mr.. Surgeons friend showed him a
second class ticket.
=" 'See,' said he, what good care I
take of the Lords money
'See,' said Mr.. Spurgeon, bringing
out first class ticket, what good care
l take Of the Lords servant.'"-

POPULATION OF THE SCHOOLS.
One-Fifth of the inhabitants in the
schools in 1905.

One-Fifth of the InhabitRnts in the
schools I'm 1908.
In Volume l Of the report OF the federal
bureau OF education the commissioner says:
Broadly speaking the educational sys-
TENS and institutions of the United States,
public and private, enrolled In 1867 In the
neighborhood Of 19,0OO, 600 pupils OF all grades
and classes. About 20 per cent of the total
population attended the common schools for
a longer or a shorter period. This percent
age had been pretty nearly stationary for
thirty years. In the meantime, however, the
average length of the common school year
had advanced from 100 days to a little over
$50 days, and the percentage OF those en-
rolled who were on the average in actual
attendance each day of this longer school
year had advance from so per, cent to 20
per cent.
while the proportion OF the population
who went to school at all had not Increased
the remarkable increase in those attending
high schools and other schools of middle
grade still continued, reaching in that year,
1867, about 113 per cent of the whole popu-
lation. In round numbers one out OF every
ninety of our people was enrolled in a sec
ondary school and one out Of ever 300 In a
college or other institution OF higher edu-
cation. as an approach to these
high proportions has been going on for
many years and the length of time any one
pupil is in a school of any grade is only
a fraction of the average length Of a human
life, it is clear that the proportion of our
population who at any time had received
education of one OF the grades indicated
was much higher than would appear from
the number enrolled for the year under con-
sideration.
"Of the total number of teachers in the
common schools of the country, about u.s.
600 In all In that year, 1867, less than 22h
per cent were men. and not only this per-
centage, but the actual number of MAJ
teachers had been steadily declining for
ten years or more. The average monthly
salary of both man and woman teachers In
the meantime had been slowly rising, vel
so slowly that 1t had failed to keep pace
witt other expenditures for educational pur.
poses. While the proportion OF school mon
eys devoted to building and other 'perma
nent improvements had been advancing foI
nearly twenty years the proportion devoted
to the personal services of teachers had
been slowly receding, In the year 1906;
the distribution Of our common school fun
was about as follows: For buildings, sites
etc, one-fifth; for teachers salaries, three
fltths; for other purposes. one-fifth. Tn,
total expenditure so distributed amounted
IN the year 1867 to something over s0So
oOo'Vo For the same year the expenditur,
for education of all grades, both public an,
private, in this country rose to anprox,
