We hope to see at no distant

The average girl grows up and
graduates with a very impractical

strongly, that we think that morali

their own Lares and Penates, and

terminable volumes whose fires
died out centuries ago. We do not
minimize the mental pleasure of
higher education, and that is about
as much as the average person gets
out of his smattering of the high
things, but we do think that it
should be subordinated to the edu-

Poisoned With Fire Work.

Friday morning the bright little
eighteen months-old son of lilly
Schneider got hold of piece of
fire works, which, baby,like he
promptly transferred to his mouth.
In little time the child was taken
desperately sick and when DR.. San
ford was hastily summoned he
found that he was poisoned and in
a critical condition. Antidotes
were administered and by the next
day the young man was as good as
new again. The piece of fireworks
was examined and found to contain
arsenic in sufficient quantity to
cause death.-Palmyra Spectator

Advice for the Minister.

Advice for the Minister.
In preaching the minister had
been rather long-winded, when
the young bride remembered that
she had left the dinner In the gas
range without regulating the
flame. She hastily wrote note
and slipped it to her husband,
who was an usher. He, thinking
it was intended for the minister,
calmly walked up and laid it on
the pulpit.
The minister paused in the
midst Of his sermon, and took the
note with a smile, which changed
into terrific frown as he read:
please hurry home and shut
off the gas"
