The Sanjak of Novipazar is a strip
of territory lying between Montenegro
and Servia. Up to the time of the
Balkan war in 1913 it belonged to
Turkey.
BY the Berlin treaty of SIS Austria
Hungary was empowered to garrison
certain strategic points within the
Sanjak but following the annexation
by Austria of the provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina were withdrawn.
During the Baltic wars Austria
Hungary again seized upon the occa-
sion to occupy the Sanjak and this
occupation in large measure served
to neutralze the Servian victories in
those wars,

A MIRROR OF YOURSELF.

"If you wish to see perfect mirror of
yourself" said an experienced teacher.
"look at your class" And not less
faithfully is every mother mirrored in the
prevailing tone and temper Of the family
that she presides over. Let her be crit
ical, impatient, hard to please. and how
surely will the same manifestations ap-
pear around her, and discord on the
music fall and darkness on the glory.
The sunny face Of childhood will soon be
overcast with clouds and the ringing
laughter will be silenced and the pail of
gloom and sadness cover the family roof
tree. On the contrary if she is sunny
and patient you will see only beaming
faces around her; if her voice is ever
pleasant and CHEEKY no dissonance will
CRATE upon your ear within that charmed
home circle. If perpetually she turns
the cloud to find the silver lining, or scars
above 1t in the undimmed sunlight of
eternal calm inla loving, confiding trust

rainly, drink in the same blessed spirit
and rejoice in the same divine warmth
and brightness.

which is described as being on scope
heretofore uninterrupted in the history of
America. The week from September
9Th to the I3th of the year, 1914, will
be crowded with big things. The new
plan also calls for the extension of the
celebration to all of the points touched
by the history Of the National Anthem.
This will mean Washington and Old
Georgetown, in the District OF Colum-
bia, and the following places in Mary
land: Havre de Grace; Fredericktown,

Field, Kent county; SAINT MichaePs;
Saint Leonard's; Upper Marlboro and

Hard to Retain Teachers For the
Public Schools.

Never since have been superintendent
of the public schools Of Frederick
county have there been so many changes
in the public school teaching force as
this year" said School Superintendent
John T. White recently. He stated that
the ladies were getting married and
quitting the schools, others because OF
poor health. and quite number of men
were leaving the public schools because
they can find positions, other than teach
ing, which pay them much better sala-
rieS.
Mr.. White states that it is always par
ticuarly desirable to have very few
changes in the teaching force of the
county during the school yeartand again
it is always desirable to have as many
men in the teaching force as possible.
There have been quite number OF
women teachers of the county who have
married, and who are still teaching they
having been prevailed upon to continue
by the school officials.
"Of course we can fill the schools with
teachers. but in many cases these teach
ers are untried and because of this there
is more or less interruption in the scho-
lastic studies, said Mr.. White.
ut is also contended that if better sal
aries were paid that more men would be
attracted to the public schools as teach
ers, and that the schools would be better
as the result. 1t is stated that this is
what is contemplated by the new school
law for trained teachers, which is being
proposed by the State Board Of Educa-
ton to go into effect in several years.

A CHEERFUL SPIRIT.

The effect of a cheerful, contented
spirit in the mother of family is not to
be estimated. The atmosphere OF hap
piness is the atmosphere that is con-
ducive to the finest development for any
child. Look over the families of your
acquaintance, my kind reader and tell
me who have been most successful i'll
raising sons snd daughters to be orna-
ments to,their family and pillars in the
social fabric. Have they not been, in
almost every instance, those where hap
piness has blossomed and borne daily
fruit? But give to household earthly
competence, strict morality, and even
earnest piety. and let the essential ele-
ment of home felicity be wanting there.
and does that family prove a success?
When Solomon said, train up a child
in the way that ne should 60" he meant
something more than enforcing obedi-
ence, inculcating principles of honesty
and restraining from vice. The young
plant must have earth, warmth, moisture
and sunshine, or it will never shine in its
full beauty, and SO the young heart must
drink the waters of content and JOY or
the character will be dwarfed and lmper-
feet.

NOT FRUITLESS.

A man who has spent busy year sits
down for little retrospect He falls
into a moody frame of mind, and in a
tone of regret says: Il have worked all
the year through, but have not anything
to show for it; my work has had no per-
manence." But a good spirit was be-
side him and she said to him: "My dear,
do you remember those flowers that grew
right out there? Those roses, petunias,
hcliotropeS, geraniums, and most of all
that beautiful lilium auratum? Not one
Of them had any permanence, yet cannot
even find stem to tell that they ever
existed. And yet they were beau
tiful and pure while they lasted filling
the air with fragrance. pleasing the eye
OF all who saw them, and they are re-
membered still by many persons to
whom they were messengers of gentle
ness" And then the moody shadow
seemed to break away from his brow,
giving place to smile and an air of sat
isfactlon. But ;later in the day, after all
of the work was done, and she was so
weary, and heaving sigh, she said,
sadly: "My life is just a round of the
same duties, and it seems to be wholly
fruiIless." 1t was his time now, and
looking up cneerlly ne said: Not so,
my dear. Do you see that tree over
there, that noble oak? Well, it has stood
there these many years more than you,
and | can tell, and its life has been al
most wholly without variety. Each sum-
mer it is crowned with foliage and then
each autumn the winds sweep it all
away. But the birds sit there and sing,
the cattle gather under it on sultry days
and the children collect about it to picnic
on their holidays. There is nothing of
all that there now, but what help the
old tree has been, and how many pleas
ant things has been told abont it-how
noble an object it is, also, in the wintry
landscape" The parable was not with
out its meaning. The good mother re-
turned the smile of the benignant father,
and together they sang at their family
worship of the loving kindness of the
Lord.

FAITHFULNESs.

Whatever happens, never forsake a
friend. When enemies gather. when
sickness falls on the heart, when the
world is dark and cheerless, then is the
time to test true friendship. They will
turn from the scenes of distress betray
their hypocrisy, and prove that interest
only moves them. If you have friend
who loves you, and who has studied your
interest and happiness, be sure to sustain
him in adversely. Let him feel that his
love was not thrown away. Real fidelity
may be rare, but it still exists-in the
heart They only deny its worth and
power, who never loved friend or la
bored to make friend happy.
