copy Of the covenant as agreed TO

fidcntial since it contained refer
cnccS to other governments. lie

Secretary Lansing and Henry
White concurred, 'took a very
strong ground against the pro-
posed settlement of the question
but it could not properly be de-
scribed as a protest against the final

TEACHES For 81 YEARS.

The Charleston Gazette of last
Sunday said:
A. C.. Hartford, of Greenbrier
county, has been a teacher in the
schools of West Virginia for fifty
one years.
lie was granted teachers certi-
ficate on May I'd, 1868, and has been
on the job ever since that time.
That certificate states that he sis a
person of good moral character,
loyal to the government of the
United States, and has passed the
examination required by law"
AT that time. there were five diff
fcrcnt kinds of certificates granted,
very good. good, fair, medium, and
Indifferent.
Later in his school career, Mr..
Hartford was granted a profession
al certificate--that was in the year
lSI3-this one being for life. But
in the year 1878, an act of the
legislature retired these, profess
Slonal lifetime certificates on ac-
count OF the report that the Board
OF Examiners was granting them
Tor payment Of money.
Within the last few days. Mr..
Hartford has sent his last profess
sIonal certificate to the Depart
mcnt Of Schools for renewal for
another twelve years. since the last
one he received was twelve years
ago. Probably Mr.. Hartford is the
oldest teacher i'm West Virginia
from point of service.

BY MRS. KINGSLEY.

CONJA KONALEWSKI, the great
est feminine genius of rlathe-
matics, ranking with the foremost
men scientists, took up knitting as a
means of resting her tired brains. Att
er having worked hard over mathemat-
ical problems for months, she sat down
for days and days and just knitted. She
forgot so entirely the existence o
science, watching the click of her needles
and counting her stitches, that nobody,
beholding her in a comfortable chair
with her knitting, would suspect her of
being the eminent woman she is.
There are a good many things recon-
mended to us, 10 induce repose, so de
sirable couuterbalanoe against the un-
rest of our daily occupations
But there is something particularly
honey about seeing woman, seated IL

PHYSICAL Value of Knitting

the busy fingers, the busy needles. Knit
ting is kind OF needlework which
neither strains the eyes nor the nerves,
for the simple reaSon that the action of
making the stitches becomes so easily
mechanical Our grandmothers could
knit very well, tell the children story,
listen to the conversation around them
and, if necessary, manage TO read a
book You can lean back in almost any
comfortable position to knit There is
nothing to keep you from even repos-
ing the elbows on each arm OF the chair,
while you go on eomposedly with your
knitting And if you want to think,
your nerves find wholesome counter
action in the constant motion of your
fingers All restless fdgetiness is elm
mated You can lean back and do all
the thinking you wish. while the click
ing goes on merrily. And presently you
iud yourself in quite a different mood
Your patience, your control has asserted
itself and you are in harmony with your
surroundings There are always a hun
dred and one reasons for knitting. Colds
from the top of your head down TO the
tip Of your big toe, provide ample rea-
sons for your knitting, Let alone the
soldiers. And as far as our boys and
girls stockings are concerned, there Is
no brand in the world which equals the
