"MASON AND DIXON'S LINE"
Popular Misrepresentation as to Mean
ing of Term and Just What the
Phrase Implied.

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and DiXon's line, as orig
mally laid off, divided the slaVe-hOld-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary, it ran for one-third Of
its whole length between Maryland
and Delaware, both of which were
slaye-holding states at the time. The
line was run purely to settle bound
airy dispute between Pennsylvania,
Maryland and Delaware.
All the same, the actual Mason aL1
Dixon's line was as much synonym
for trouble and dissension in its day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years it gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to
some until Tin that looked-for day of
charity to all mem shall be fulfilled
DR.. John Wyeth's recent prophecy
that when the people of the South
and the North get together they will
forget there was ever a Mason and
Dixons line."-Southern Woman's
Magazine.

Light More Beneficial Than Heat.

When rays Of light fall upon the
skin of our bodies, which is translu-
cent, the greater part of them are ar
rested some by one layer of the skin,
some by another and still others are
not stopped until they have penetrated
the simultaneous tissues. This arrest
of the light rays produces radiant
heat, which has higher penetrating
power than convection heat az gene
rated by a hot water bag or poultice,
for instance.
E. C. Titus in an address before the
Illuminating Engineering. society, said
that such heat penetrated two inches
or more, while convection heat was ex,
cited principally on the surface.
This is why electric light baths and
sun baths are SO stimulating to the or.
gans Of elimination, especially the skin
and kidneys, and so beneficial in sc
many diseases.

Torn between desire and necessity
the appropriation committe of the
House, sitting jointly with the finance
committee of the Senate, postponed
action on Delos r. Johnson's 1856, 500
educational appropriation bill for one
week to save the measure from an ur-
favorable report, Unless an entirely
new and more favorable turn of affairs
develops with the week, the bill Is
doomed anyway.
Mr., Johnson's measure calls for
$356,5O0 for general educational pur-
poses, including the state current
school fund, approved high schools
department Of agriculture and domes-
tic science and vocational education ia
New Orleans in accordance with the
plans Of she association of parish
school boards and the school authori-
ties of New Orleans and the state.
Thomas H. Harris, state superintend.
ent of education, presented the plea
for the bill explaining:
"The $206,5OO will go into the cur.
rent school fund. The amount now
given by the state will run the public
schools less than one month. The cur
rent school fund should be brought up
to the equivalent Of two mills.
For the 149 state approved high
schools, $4,000 is asked. If the
amount cannot be increased, 1t means
with number of approved high schools
increasing, the amount received by
each will grow smaller.
For agricultural and domestic
science department $4,000 is asked
These departments number between
forty and fifty We cannot think OF
making this appropriation smaller
Every cent Of it is necessary.
For industrial and vocational work
in New Orleans, $4,000 is asked. This
is a most important step and New Or
leans, paying as its does a large pro
portion of the taxes Of the state, is
entitled to this amount.
Leon Locke, chairman Of the House
committee, met the issue squarely.
Il appreciate the need of the bill
bat we must consider our position
The general appropriation bill plu!
the cost Of the session exceeds thu
revenue by $393,OOO. We owe $500
to the fiscal agent banks for which
no bill has been offered. State print
ling will cost $500, and a convention
if called will mean $4,000 Now tt
add $356,5OO to that deficit, whateve
the necessity, would put US in a rattle
difficult position"

George Faulkner, who played on the
Dorchester high football, baseball and
track teams and then entered Goddard
seminary last fall, where he quickly
made the football team According to
the Globe, Faulkner was one of the best

Quinn . year ago played fullback on

regular catcher of the seminary nine.
He was unable to play football this
fall because of illness. Quinn, accord

He won eight of the points made by
the Goddard track team last spring.
