Examinations at the high school this

been enrolled in the High school depart
ment of our schools this year, thirteen
of whom have been doing the work of
the senior year. The Spring term will

The executive committee of the Wayne

The next meeting will be held at Seely-

session eclipse any previous meeting.
The teachers who expect to take the
examination for permanent certificate,
had better get their blanks from the
County Superintendent and have them
filed out. This is slow work when the
applicant has taught for different boards.
We urge every applicant to make a
thorough review of every study required
for the examination.

Oriental Ingenuity.

A quaint touch of oriental ingenuity
to harass the persistent users of opium
has been invented by the superintend-
ent of police at Canton. says the Lon
don Lancet's correspondent in China.
This official has issued 10000 wooden
licenses, ten inches long by eight inches
broad and three-fifths of an inch
thick. On the front of these boards
are characters giving the smokers
name and address and the quantity
allowed him per diem, and on the
hack are the opium regulations. The
licensees are not allowed to cover their
boards when going to buy opium, but
must wear them conspicuously, so
that all may see them. Next year
these wooden licenses are to be two
feet long by one and a half broad and
tnree-f1fths of an inch thick.

"Gunpowder stays where you put it,
but gasoline floats away. Though a
woman wouldn't dream of using gun
powder in her toilet, she uses gaso-
line regularly. which is hundred
times more dangerous. Here is an
other terror born of the automobile"
The speaker was a chauffeur. He
resumed:
"The automobile has familiarized us
with gasoline, and we have forgotten
its perils. We wash gloves in it; we
take out grease spots with it; we even
use 1t in shampoos.
"Gunpowder stays where you put it.
but gasoline uses its wings. There is
a recorded case where the vapor, trav-
cling thirty feet, took fire at a gas jet
and burned young girl to death. So
the next time your wife asks you to
order her some gasoline tell her you'd
rather she'd try gunpowder." - Phila-

CHOICE MISCELLANY

"A fortune is in store" says a st.
Louis housekeeper who lived many
years in the south, "for the chemist

make 1t available and cheap for fami-
ly and laundry use. All over the
south every cblored washerwoman
knows that there is no better way of
bleaching the family linen during
washing than by putting few leaves
Of the jimson weed into the boiler.
The only objection is the unpleasant
odor, and this can be removed by
placing the clothes in cold water and
boiling them or by repeated rinsing.
But rinsing is troublesome. So is the
boiling. and SO many persons who
know the value of the leaves avoid
their use. There must be in the leaves
some chemical principle which has a
bleaching power, and the extraction
Of this and the separation of it from
the unpleasant odor and disagrceable
greenish color ought to render it valu-
able in household and laundry."-St.

The Enismatie Cubc.

OF all the astonishing advances in
magic none is more mystifying than
the enigmatic cube. The magician
who performs this trick seems to have
accomplished what other magicians
have only dreamed Of. and no one but
the man himself has been able to find
out how he does 1t. The enigmatic
cube Is first a one inch cube. which
the magician produces from the air,
and 1t is then seen to grow while In
his hands to Il two inch, q four inch
and a nine inch cube. This he sets in
full view upon his table, where it IS
seen to grow slowly to size Of three
feet six inches. The cube is then
lifted, and from under 1t steps n wom-
an, who starts to run toward the front
of the stage. The magician snaps his
fingers; she instantly stops, disappears
in sheet of flame in full view OF the
audience, and in her place is seen a
gigantic bouquet of real roses, which
are plucked and distributed to the au-
dience.-Popular Mechanics.

Fireman james Dempsey Of engine
company No. 80. happening to be mt
leisure the other day on State street
near Washington. was able to give a
neat and almost gaudy exhibition Of
the power Of Imagination when ap-
piled to small details. Mr.. Dempsey
perceived a runaway horse plunging
toward the crowd Of shoppers, unre-
strained by the conventional bride.
At once he applied himself to the back
of the frightened animal and, leaning
forward, thrust his fingers into its
mouth to produce the impression of
its familiar steering apparatus. Un-
der this jury rudder, so to speak. the
horse was cleanly turned back to the
middle Of the street and then brought
to a halt a block farther on. Mr.,
Dempsey seems to us not only phys
ical hero, but a creative artist of un-
usual genius. His kind Of imagina-
ton has Rider Haggard's kind beaten

One symptom of the dread disease that

We will soon hear the spring poet

Homemade incubators are generally

generally cost much more in the end

1t is a mighty poor plan to buy

ly brings out all the old bad points and
matches new ones. Straight thorough
bred stock breeds the profit paying
