NaIua of Education.

"Every day spent in school the ehii' dren earn $9."
 This statement was made by Wis consin's state superintendent, who bases his estimate on the official rec ords of the bureau of education at Washington. Here is what he offers as proof of the statement:
 "Uneducated laborers earn on the average $500 a year for forty years, total of $20,O00.
 High school graduates earn on an average $1,OOO q year for forty years, a total of $4O,OOO.
 "This education requires twelve years of school of 1SO days each, total of 2,16O days. If 2,1GO days at school add $20,OO0 to the income for life, then each day at school adds S9.02.
 "Forceful as this standardization of earnings is," said the superintendent, 'lt tells but one side of the story-the money side. Back of thls can be seen improved standards of living, more m- telligent and progressive communities and a stronger national life."-Chica- go Herald.

Many people can remember when brown sugar was practically the only kind in use. The pioneers found 1t to their taste. There are even today places where white or loaf sugar has never been seen on the table or in the kitchen.
 AS for sorghum, slrup, that thick and sweet product, 1t, was used not only in coffee or tea, but on pancakes and warm biscuit. It was not half as bad as 1t sounds. 7MOlasses in coffee was also common. We can also remember the widows advice to- the minister who called to take dinner;
 Have some more 'lasses in your cof- fee, MT. Grimes. Have some more 'lasses. 'Twouldn't be none too good for you if twas all 'lasses."

Icy Cold Winters.

In the winter of 1780 New York har- Dor was frozen over and teams passed from New York to Staten Island. New York bay was frozen over in the latter part of January, 1921, and sleighs pass ed over the Hudson river from Cort- landt street to Jersey City. On Feb. 8, 1S44, Long Island sound was frozen over a few miles above New York. On Jan. 20, 1852, the East river was frozen over, and hundreds passed over both ways between Brooklyn and New York. On Feb. 10 and Il, 1856, the East river was frozen over so that the people passed over freely. On Jan. 23, 1867, the East river was brIdged over with Ice, and 5000 persons passed over. On Feb. 12, 1875, the East river was com pletely bridged over for over three and one-half hours. During the blizzard of March 12, 1888, the East river was frozen over so completely for several hours that hundreds passed over both ways.-Magazine of American History.

Five thousand pounds for an eques- trian statue of himselfI That was thS principal item in the will of Scottish farmer who died some few months ago. The directions explicitly stated that the statue, cast of massive bronze, was to represent the farmer as cham pion at the Riding Musselburgh marches. A further sum of &20 a year is to be expended onfupkeep.

First Prohibition Act.

The first prohibitive measure was that of the Saxon King Edgar, who, nearly q thousand years ago, on the ad- vice of Dunstan, put down many ale houses, allowing only one to exist in any village or small town and at the same time limiting the drafts of the drinkers. The common drinking cup of that day held about two quarts, and Edgar had eight pegs placed at stated distances in each cup, heavy penalties being imposed on those who drank from one peg to another at each time. Neither the working nor the re- suit of the act encouraged Edgar's suc- cessors to further action, and the next prohibitive legislation on the sale of liquor Is due to Henry VII. who, by an act against vagabonds and beggars in the year 1495, gave power to any two justices of the peace to stop the common selling of strong ale in towns and any other places they thought nec- essary.-London Mirror.

Just Money.

'sThe brick residence on the left, said the spieler of the rubberneck wagon (neYer mind in what'city), "is the home of the famous multimilhonaire Mir. Jones. The brown stone across the way was built by Mir. Smith, one Of our wealthlest citizens. The magnih- cent mansion up the street belongs to B. z. Brown, the richest man in, the city. It cost $2,000,0O0 and includes a gold dining service costing $55,000."
 An elderly woman interrupted "Would you mind telling us," she said, whether there is anybody of promi- hence in the city who ever did any thing but make money or who did any thing In public way with the money he nader
 The driver didn't know what to say for it wasn't his speech, anyway 1t was one the company had prepared for him. Evidently the mere possession of money was the company's idea of what the public would be ainterested in New York World.

MlllanndeR.

The little creature which possesses the distinction of having more legs than any other animal Is that which belongs to the family of insects known as mlllepedes or thousand footed.
 There are several different species of these, but they all possess the common characteristic of having segmented bodies, each segment of which is pro vided with its own pair of feet These are set so closely along the body as to resemble hairs, and when they move one after another with perfect regu- larity the effect is precisely the same on a small scare as that of field of oats undulating under the influence of the wind. Some species of millepedes have as many as $50 separate and dis tinct legs. They are all perfectly harm less.

Thrse Kinds of Secondhand Books.

Three Kinds of Secondhand Books.
 "How much Is this book" a pros pective customer asked the second hand book dealer. It was volume of essays.
 That is a reading book and sells for 50 cents," the dealer answered.
 The prospective customer looked pug ,zled, so the secondhand book man went on to explain:
 q have been in this business a good many years, both here and in other cities, and l have found that every where the general secondhand book buying public divides books into three classes and asks for them accordingly.
 "A paper backed book is a novel,
 "A cloth bound novel, however, is a fiction book
 Everything else in bound literature comes under the classification of read ing books "-Kansas City Star.
