One thing more than any other that
the teachers neglect is the ventilation
hof the school room. II is not uncom-
mon on a cold day each, as we have
had the past week to go into a school
room and find the windows closed
tight and fast and the pupils having
to breathe the air over and over
again. The work is not as satisfac-
tory as ii should be under such condi-
tons and the worst of all the health
of the pupils is not very carefully
guarded. Another thing some of our
teachers are too lax on is the super
vision of the games and play grounds.
They often turn the children out and
allow them to do whatever they care
to without regard to the rights and
privileges of others. Now some
teachers do not do this but on the
other hand take part in the games and
play with the pupils and invariably
where the teacher does this the CON-
plant of patrons about difficulties on
the play ground is greatly reduced.
There has not been a complaint made
to this office this year, but it was con-
corning something that occurred on
the play ground.

A Friend of John Brown Dead.

Boston, Nov. Mrs. Mary Ellen
Taylor Russell, widow of Judge
Thomas Russell and daughter of
Father" Taylor, founder of the Sea-
mans Bethel, died Monday night af-
ter a brief illness, She was 80 years
old. Mrs. Russell's father was i'm
mortalized by Charles Dickens in his
American Notes.. The great au-
thor said Father" Taylor was one of
the most interesting persons he met
here.
Mrs. Russell married Judge Rus
sell in 1853. The Judge was after
ward collector of the port and minis
ter to Venezuela. Both husband and
wife were interested in the abolition
of slavery and at one time sheltered
John Brown in their home for a
week. Mrs. Russell received gold
medal from the English government
in 1859 for her part in a rescue of a
crew of British sailors near Boston
Light. She urged her husband and
others to make the perilous attempt
which they would have abandoned
without her encouragement.

Shaving a Cause of Headache.
From the Boston Post.

Vienna-Dr Paul Klager, Wen
nese physician, delivered a sensation
al lecture before the medical society.
He says the growing fashion of shaw
ing the mustache is responsible for
the growing number of patients suf-
fering from headaches and diseases of
the respiratory organs. Out of five
hundred cases of serious headaches
and diseases of the nose and throat,
he had counted four hundred and
twenty patients who had their mus
taches shaved off.
The mustache is a natural protec-
ton for the nose against the invasion
of air, dust and microbes. Women,
he says, are not so often in the streets,
and wear wells to protect themselves,
and their noStrils are narrower than
those of men:

The Rich Hill Thimble Circle was en-

day afternoon by Mrs. Frank Gench,
of Butler, a member of the coterie.
The hostess took her guests for a
walk around the beautiful town, after
the usual pleasant pastimes and Thin
BILE duties were enjoyed. Mrs, Gench
then conducted her guests to the
Fraternal Inn, where a sumptuous
five-course dinner was served, and
greatly enjoyed by the visitors, whose
appetites were whetted by the four
teen-mile trip, the ramble about the
pretty town, and the animated not to
say hilarious visiting" at Mrs.
Gench's home. Little Miss Selma
Gench entertained them with singing,
she playing her own accompaniment
to her sweet voice.
Mrs. Gench's guests were: Mrs.
j. Ross Hale, Mrs. H. Loeb, Mrs.
