A very beautiful program was render- ed by the primary school of this place on . Friday evening. It consisted of songs, recitations and a play.

He said that educators of today should bestir them- selves as the needs of the schools were becoming greater every day. To the students he emphazied four things, good- ness, fidelity, wisdom and character. There is too much stress laid on show these days and not enough on worth. There are too many people who would rather have a fat wallet than a good eharacter, though with the latter every- thing is possible and without it nothing is desirable. Close attention was paid to the entire sermon. ——Have your Job Work done here. SPRING MILLS. J. A. Fravell, of Lewisburg, was a Sun- day visitor at the home of S. L. Condo. Miss Ella S.

The fact that teakwood is coarse grained, greasy to the touch, and pos- sesses an offensive odor kept it in dis- repute with English shipbuilders until 1897, when British shipbuilding and railway interests began to recognize the value of Indian teak. During the next seven years all the shipbuilding countries in the world joined in an ever-increasing demand for this tim- ber until its prices were forced up to a figure much beyond their normal rates. It has practically become a staple of the local wood industry for the greater part of the entire Indian continent. Teak is being freely plant- ed by the Indian forestry service in the important civil stations all over India, even as far north as Saharan- pur, Dehra Dun and Lahore. The Mandolin. The mandolin is of Italian origin, though it is impossible to give the time or place of its first use. From Italy the instrument was gradually introduced into France and Spain, from which countries it made its way to the rest of Europe, reaching this country with the coming of the Span- iards at the beginning of the six- teenth century. Fragrance of Flowers. Flowers are more fragrant when the sun is not shining on them, ac- cording to a French scientist, because the oils that produce the perfume are forced out by the water pressure in the plant cells and this is diminished by sunlight. Matrimonial. An eastern judge sentenced a man to be married because he drank too much. No, it didn’t happen in Massa chusetts, where the women so greatly outnumber the men.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. —————————— Radiance of the Soul. Carry the radiance of your soul in your face; let the world have the benefit of it.—Fox. EE ——————————— Hard Duty for Jurymen. During the hearing of a beer adul teration charge in Berlin, judge, jury men and counsel each solemnly drank two vints of the suspected liquor. Tralning Men. Many employers make the mistake of never training men themselves, but depend on men hired from their com- petitors or from other outside sources. No doubt it may be wise at times to g0 outside and get an “infusion” of new blood.” It is sometimes an ab- solute necessity, for an organization can become hidebound in methods. But on general principles I have no hesitation whatever in saying if you want good men who will fit into your working organization you must be willing to pay the price of training your own men. One of the intangible assets which cannot be set down in the dollars and cents column and add- ed up and yet which determines the figures which will finally’ appear in the profit and loss account, is the asset of loyalty and good will, and an employer has no right to expect loyalty from his men if, when higher positions of responsibility are to be filled, men from the outside are pro- moted over the heads of faithful and loyal men who often are more com- petent than the man who has been brought in from “away over there.”— Current Opinion. The Weakness of Dickens. In the “Life of Dickens” ’t is said that the basal weakness of that won- derful man was that for him there was “no city of the mind built against outward ills for inward consolation and shelter.” Here lay the tragedy of his days—that he lived from without Inward, not from within outward; lived in the open, glittering and no- ticed, with the curtains of his soul up. More than most men he was depend- ent on what others said and did. Applause was the stimulant on which he lived and without which his life lost its interest and joy, making him restless and unhappy. Such a manner of life is precarious, for public favor is fickle and uncertain. Life cannot be carried to the highest ends with- out a spring of strength hidden from the multitude; a place of retreat; a closet of prayer.—Rev. J. F. Newton, Cedar Rapids Liberal Christian church. Athletes Born, Not Made. Athletes are largely born, not made and physique in general is the result of heredity and conditions of early life, rather than training. Some of the most vigorous, healthy, and enduring men the world has seen, such as Na- poleon, Dickens, Scott, Balzac, John- son, Brahms, Beethoven, Titian, Mich- elangelo, Turner, Goethe, Bismarck, ' Washington, took no special exercises, but seemed to develop bodily through mental force. These men took more or less exercise but they made no spe- cial effort along these lines. They maintained by temperate use what was theirs through gift of nature, through whose bestowal, save for slight changes from conscious effort, we are what we are.—New York Medi. eal Journal. As Pure Air Gauge. If a housewife really wants a health- ful house she ought to keep growing plants in her rooms—not for the pleas- ure of them only, but because they form a very excellent and practical gauge of the moisture and heat of the house. The reason that most plants will not thrive in the ordinary house is that the ordinary house is full of overheated bad air. This air is just as bad for the family as for the Bos- ton fern, but as children are tougher than ferns the effect is not noticed as far as they are concerned. No wise mother, however, ought to keep her children in rooms where plants cannot grow.—Harper’s Bazar. - Toil. If you want knowledge. you must toil for it, if food, you must toil for it, and if pleasure, you must toil for it. Toil is the law, pleasure comes through toil, and not by self-indul- gence and indolence. When a man gets to love work his life is a happy one.~— Selected. Ireland's Fisheries in Bad Way.
