Vacancies Filled in County
Schools at Last Minute

Although there We're thirty teacher
vacancies in the county schools last
week, all but about half dozen have
since been supplied, mainly through
the efforts of Professor w. r. Zim-
norman. assistant county school su-
perintendent, who worked night and
day for almost a week, examining ap-
plicants for school teacher jobs.
The majority of the other schools
of the county will open next Monday.
There is hope, Professor Zimmerman
said, that all the vacancies in the
teaching corps will be filled before
the opening. Hummelstown needs a
high school principal and an assistant
principal. and principals are needed
for the high schools in Dauphin and
Berrysburg.

AIM SHOULD BE PERFECTION
Man Who Is Satisfied With Nothing
but the Best Is Man Who Will
Make Good in Life.

: Don't get into the "that's-good-
enough" habit. Nothing short of "per-
feet" should be your motto.
Slovenly habits of mind and hand
grow faster than good habits. A slip
shod I'M of thinking results in
slipshod methods of work.
You will never become efficient in
any n thing till you get it firmly
fixed in your mind that IL another can
do 1t better than you you are not do
ing well.
Thoroughness and accuracy play q
big part in the success or failure OF
the individual.
You may be artistic and tempera-
mental and dreamy, but you will never
realize your dreams till you get down
to brass tacks and do what you do
with precision and dispatch.
There is plenty of time to exercise
your artistic moods after you have
learned all there is to know of the
mechanical and fundamental prin-
ciples of the work or accomplishment
you think you were out to do.
Remember that Interpretation comes
last.
There must be weeks, months and
years of systematic and consistent
drill before n is capable of exercis-
ing the faculty of Interpretation.

~SUB ROSA" IMPLIES SECRECY
Term Had Its Origin Long Ago in q
Plot Which Involved Existence
Of Sparta.

The origin of the phrase sub rosa,
under the rose," implies secrecy, and
had its origin in the year AT b. c., at
which time Pausanias, the commander
Of the confederate fleet Of the Spar
tans and Athenians, was engaged in
intrigues with Xerxes for the subju-
cation Of Greece to the Persian rule,
and for the hand Of the nlonarch's
daughter in marriage. The negotia-
tons were carried on in a building
attached to the temple of Minerva.
called the Brazen house, the roof of
which was a garden forming a bower
Of roses; so that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secrecy,
was literally matured under the roses.
Pausanias, however, was betrayed by
one of his enlissaries. who, by a pre-
concerted pi~a with the ~overseers and
cOunselors of state, five in number,
gave them a secret opportunity to
hear from the lips of Pausanias the
acknowledgment of his treason. To
escape arrest, he fled to the temple
Of Minerva, and as the sanctity of the
place forbade intrusion, the people
walled up the editice SO that he might
die Of starvation.

Boy's Instinct True.

Historian Of the sky was the title
bestowed on Angelo Secchi, the ia.
nous Italian astronomer. A quaint
little anecdote is told Of him at the
time of his first visit to London. Not
knowing English, he wondered how
he should find his way about, and con-
fided his doubts to his young compan-
ion, an Italian boy Of fifteen. Finally
they decided that the best plan would
be to 60 and look for an Italian. "Our
difficulties will then be met" said Sec
chi, and went straight for the British
museum. Entering the reading room,
he looked rapidly at the readers and
unhesitatingly, accosted n Of them
with, "Bon giorno! Lei e italiano !"
He was not mistaken, and the Italian
not only directed Secchi where he
wished to go, but became his host dur
ing his stay in the British capital.

MADE HIM THINK OF HOME
French Youngsters Innocent caress
by No Means Objectionable to
Yankee '"DouQhboy.S

The company had stopped on the.
march for q ten-minute rest in a.
small town, writes q correspondent
in France. A husky doughdoy sat.
down on a doorstep and eased of the
weight Of his pack. A small boy
passed, turned and hesitated. An
exchange Of grins and the youngster
sided over. In another minute three
or four other gamins were crowding
round.
One particularly small fellow.
climbed up on the doughboy's knees.
Suddenly the youngster reached up
with both arms and gave his burly
American ally a kiss on the cheek.
The ~doughboy didn't seem to
know what to do. A mule skinner
coarsely guffawed. The small boy,
not at all embarrassed, repeated the
performance. Again the driver GUT
fawed, but this time not SO heartily.
Then there was a marked pause.
"Er-how does it feel, Bin" the
mule skinner queried.
Darn good" came the CHEEKY n
swer. "I'm a family man, you
know"
'These girls who adore soldiers
are very tickle in their devotion"
And yet you cannot deny that
they show real uniform affection"

The Welcome Guest.

There Is scarcely anyone who does
not wish to be a welcome guest, yet
everyone knows that some persons pos
sess the ability to make themselves
far more desirable in the home than
others. The visitor who brings a sun
ny, fresh point Of view with her is al
ways sure Of a cordial reception, pro-
viding she Is careful to carry out GER
tain other requisites which a success,
full guest is wise enough to follow,
whether she has ever, analysed them
in this cold fashion or not. It might
be safe to guess that she has never
thought about it all, but, guided sim
ply by her sincere desire to express
real fellowship, has instinctively full
filled her obligations. Yet when con-
sidered, perhaps the one thing more
than another which insures ones re-
newed welcome may be summed up in
the single word, a%daptability.

SUCCESS NOT FOR LEANERs
Man That Wins In Lies Struggle
Must Have the Utmost Conf
dence In Himself.

Power is the goal Of every worthy
ambition, and only weakness comes
from imitation or dependence on 9TH
ers. Power is self-generated. We
cannot increase the strength of our
muscles by sitting in a gymnasium and
letting another exercise for us.
Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit Of lean
ing upon others. II you lean you will
never be strong or original. Stand
alone or bury your ambition to be
somebody in the world.
The man who tries to give his chill
dren a start in the world so that they
will not have SO hard a time as he had
IL unknowingly bringing disaster upon
them. What he calls giving them a
start will probably give them a set
back in the world. Young people
need all the motive power they can
get. They are naturally learners, I'm
~itators, copiers, and it is easy for
them to develop into echoes or imita-
lions. They will not walk alone while
you furnish crutches; they will lean
upon you just as long as you will let
them.
One Of the greatest decisions that a
human being could ever have is that
he is permanently benefited by con-
tinued assistance from others.-Orison
SWEET Marden, In Success.

Merchant Bar.

Merchant bar, or merchant iron, Is
the bar iron which has been finished
by passing through the merchant rolls.
Puddled bars are worked into mer-
chant iron Or merchant bar by being
cut into pieces of suitable length,
which are then piled in packets, heat
ed into welding heat, and then ham,
mered into bars of suitable shape to
put on the market. The amount Of
labor bestowed on this process de-
ponds on the quality of the iron 1t is
desired to produce. Puddle bars,
which have been rolled a second time
r called mo. g." and this is usually
designated as merchant bar" It Is
the lowest quality Of iron available
for the smiths general use. If piled
and rolled again the product Is called
mo. 8" Another. repetition Of the
process furnishes an article known as
"best-best," and still another gives
"treble-best."

Cane 10 Mark Of Hioh Office.

1t has been the custom of the sur
geon of the king Of England to carry
q "gold-headed cane" This cane has
been handed down to the various in
cumbents of the office since the days
Of DR.. John Radcliffe, who was the
first "holder of the cane" It has been
used for 200 years or more by the
greatest physicians and surgeons in
the world, who succeeded to 1t. The
"gold-headed cane" was adorned by q
cross-bar at the top instead Of a knob.
The fact is explained by Munk, in
that Radcliffe, the first owner, was d
rule unto himself, and probably pre-
ferred this device as a mark Of dis
tinction from the knob used by ply
sicians In general.
