ALL OF BROWN COUNTY DRY

An Aberdeen item last week said
Judge T. l.. Bouck Of the state
circuit court has just handed down
a decision in the Ferney saloon
license case which holds against
the saloons. This will make all Of
Brown county dry after July |.
Ferney voted in favor of the
saloons at the spring election. but
the Brown County Anti saloon
League contested the re suit on the
ground that some Of the signers to
the petition asking the submission
Of the question were not qualified.
The court sustains this contention
and finds the election was invalid.

Elsewhere in this issue appears
a communication from Rev. FIR.
- Nell in regard 70 the school
question. The columns OF the
Herald Advance are open for a
fuil and free discussion Of these
public matters at all times. The
intense interest displayed in the
recent school election indicates
with what jealous regard people
generally look upon the school
question. and illustrates more
fully than ever the wisdom of the
American idea of "a complete di-
sorce between religious sectar-
anism and the public schools,
and that the religious instruction
of the children should be left 10
the home and the church. This
IS one OF the principles upon
which the American public school
system is founded, and the only
basis upon which it can be sue
cessfully maintained.
One correction in FIR. O'Neill's
article the editor wishes to make
at once so that there may be no
misunderstanding. It is where
he refers to "School Notes"
The article to which he refers 5
was headed The School. Cues.
ton. The matter would not be
OF Importance were it not for the
fact that Prof. Glenn had been
writing ''School Notes. for the
city papers, though there were
none published that week, and
1t might possibly be inferred
that Supt Glenn was the author.
FIR. O'Neill's mistake probably
arose from a hasty reading Of
the article, which was written
by the editor as a news item and
his opinion of the significance of
the result.

Origin Of the Saw.

According TO Apollodorus, the inven-
ton of the saw came about in the fol-
lowing way: Talus. SO the account
goes, having found the jawbone Of a
huge snake, used it TO cut through a
piece of wood and finding that it
worked SO well. formed an instrument
of iron similar to it. The first saw
mill concerning which we have any
clear knowledge was erected on the
island Of Madeira somewhere about
the year 400 a few years later one
was built at Breslau. There were no
sawmills in England prior to 1868. In
that year one was built there by a
Dutchman, but he was forced to aban-
don it. Sawmills were erected near
London about 1770

.Iackstones.

Most girls and some boys have play.
ed in their time the game of dibs or
knucklebOnes or jackstones, but few
of them know that the game has exist
ed since the third century B. G. and IS
probably still older. How 1t was play
ed in ancient days no one can tell, but
the ankle joint bones Of the sheep, OK,
deer and pig were used, and the game
was called "astragal," from the Latin
word for the ankle joint. In Scotland
pebbles are often employed, whence
the name "chuckies." Even precious
stones and gold and bronze "stones"
have been used, and in some countries
the bones were marked with numbers
and colored to represent kings, queens.
