Nothing Coming.

The teacher was tnstructlng junior
class In arithmetic when she started
to give the youngsters some mental
exercises.
Johnny" said she, turning to
youngster OF ten, eff you went TO the
grocery store and bought 10 cents
worth Of sugar, 5 cents worth of soap,
% cents worth Of coffee and 10 cents
worth of crackers and gave the pro-
Nprietor a dollar bill in payment for
these articles how much change would
you get?"
II wouldn't get any change, Miss
Mary" was the rather surprising re-
Spouse Of the boy. -
"You wouldn't get any changer ex-
claimed the teacher. How do you
figure that out?'
"Storekeeper wouldn't give up" an
swered Johnny. "He would freeze on

Edward Everett.

Edward Everett was one Of the most
purely literary of all American orators.
Among the more eminent scholars and
statesmen Of our land no one has ever
been more deservedly honored for In
tellectual power, purity OF character,
public and private, and for clearness
and perception Of judgment than Ever
EFT. TO the efforts of Edward Everett
more than to any other one person is
to be credited the raising Of funds
sufficient to purchase the home OF
Washington at Mount Vernon. He de-
livered lecture on the character Of
that great man more than a hundred
times and gave the proceeds to the
Ladies' Mount Vernon association. He
personally placed over $4,000 in the
treasury. 1t is probable that his ora
tory won for benevolent purposes at
least 100000.

The Most PonuIar Sin.

The most popular sin, according to
high authority, is selfshness. At least
this was the conclusion reached by q
number of prominent public men, In
GLIDING lawyers, editors, religious
workers and others in response to an
inquiry Of Rev. DIR. Reisner Of Grace
Methodist Episcopal church, in New
York, "What is the most popular sin
aud the best method to Offset itT Of
Ill the ignoble traits Of humanity
selflshness works the greatest evil. It
finds its root in envy, malice, extrava
gance and its fruit in sin. If we could
analyze the causes Of crime, Of poverty,
Of wretchedness and of war itself we
would find at the bottom of them all
the evil spirit of a selfish purpose.
The best text for the preacher today
is Render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesars and unto God the things
that are Gods. "-Leslie's.

I 1t is, therefore, my opinion that I'M
less the County Board of Supervisors
makes provision at this session for the
quarterly payment of such expenses,
then the County Superintendent of
Schools can procure such expense
money only upon fling an itemized
statement thereof and fling the same
prior to the November meeting Of the
Board in the year 1916, and annually
thereafter. However, provision may
be made under this section for the
quarterly payment of such expenses.
The Statutes must be followed with
reference to this expense money, and
it is my opinion that you have no au-
thority in the law to provide for the
monthly payment of such expenses.
Respectfully submitted,
Alfred L. Drury,
District Attorney.
Mr.. Drury, after rendering this
opinion, requests that an appropriation
be made for the District Attorneys
Emergency Fund.

Photography.

The earliest experiments in the a.
rection of photography were made by
Wedgwood and Day, but the first pho
tograph was actually produced in
camera made by Daguerre and part
ner about 1889. In 1910 the first pho
tograph portrait was made by Pro
fessor John W. Draper, an American.
Progress was made in the work OF
Fox Talbot, 1841, and Scott Archer,
1851, with the glass plate The gela-
tin bromide dry plate was invented in
1871 by Maddox and greatly improved
by Bennett in 1873 As In many other
inventions, it Is practically impossible
to lay ones finger on one man and one
date for the specific Invention" Of
photography; it has been so largely
work of experiment and Improvement.
