And Ilk the choral strain That fell on Hetlhem's plain. Inspire the perfect reign Of Love and Peace! HeKKIAH BUTTIItWORTII. PREPARE FOR OCT. 21. The outline of what is proposed for Columbus Day is enough to indicate two things: First That the official programme will be so simple and cau be so easily ar ranged that no tchool need wait till it is published before beginning its own preparations for the celebration. Second That the object of the na tional publio school celebration of Co lumbus Day needs the cordial co-operation of the citizens generally in each lo cality in order to be fully realized. The executive committee has ulso sent us a few suggestions of a practical nature which will be of advantage to teachers and all other friends of the cele bration just at present. They are as follows: First A strong local committee should be appointed at once. It would be well to include in this committee not only the leading school officials, but also editors of the local press, army veterqps and leading citizens who are knwwn to favor the celebration by the schools. Only such as are likely to give earnest support to the work should be appointed. Second The postoftice address of the chairman of this local committee should be sent to the office of the chairman of the national executive committee (Fran cis Bellamy, Youth's Compauion office, Boston, Mans.), in order that the chair man of the local committee may receive the official programme and other com munications. Third This committee should first see that each school is provided with a flag, the salute to which will be the first fea ture of the official programme. They should also advise with each principal as to the best way in which the celebra tion can be carried on in his school house, arranging for speakers and sug gesting exercises additional to the offi cial programme. Fourth This committee should also arrange that the citizens' celebration be made to occur in the afternoon, and should see that the desired prominence is given to the free school idea in public ceremonies. Where no arrangements have yet been made for a citizens' cele bration this committee might them selves take the initiative, and organize the afternoon demonstrations as well as the morning observances in the school houses. Fifth The greater publicity that is given to this committee, both in its for mation and in its work, the better. Ac cordingly, the attention of the people generally must be gained and their inter est secured. Let the people be freely in vited to give suggestions and to send communications to the local press as to the best conduct of the celebration. Sixth The committee should see that the editors of the local papers are inter ested in the movement, and the people informed through the columns of these papers of the celebration and what is being done to make it a success. In one word, this 400th anniversary of America belongs to all the people. The publio schools take the lead because they are the organization closest to the peo ple, most characteristic of the people and fullest of hope for the people. FRIDAY ONCE WAS LUCKY. The New York board of women man agers of the Columbian exposition are alive to the mistake of dedicating the buildings and grounds of the World's fair on Oct. 13. At a recent meeting in Albany a member of the board made a comprehensive statement of the reasons why the change of date to Oct. 21 should be made, and said in closing: "I would also like to state, in this connection, one sentimental reason which I am sure will show a very interesting set of coinci dences. Columbus left the Old World on a Friday, discovered the New World on a Friday, left the New World on a Friday, returned to the Old World on a Friday, and the 3 1st of October also falls on a Friday; so we see that for us, at least, Friday is not an unlucky day." CONGRESSIONAL SANCTION. Thi following is a copy of the bill which congress passed iu the interest of the national public school celebration of Columbus Day: Jolut resolution authorizing and directing the preslduut to proclaim a general holiday, oommetuuratlng the tooth anniversary of the discovery of America, 011 the Slit day of Octo ber. lSVi.

Princess Marie of Edinburg who was recently betrothed to Ferdinand of Ho heuzollarii, Crown Prince of Rou mania, is one of Queen Victoria's cleverest and prettiest granddaughters. Mr. Gladstone is known among his colleagues in publio life as "the man with the terrible memory, "and yet it has been said of him that he has forgot tea more than moot British statesmen ever knew. Lord Tennyson is the oldest English author, his first book having been pub lished in 1830. Mr. Gladstone comes next, his pamphlet, "The State in Iu Relations with the Church," appearing eight years later.

"The Millville Wagon Works', are peculiar in the respect that they are the only wagon establishment in the United States that manufacture every part of the wood work of a wagon from the green rough lumber, and then it is kept on hand until it is thoroughly seasoned before being used, thus they are able to know positively that their stock is all per fectly prepared and entirely reliable, without taking anybody's say so for it. This important feature has largely helped to make the wonderful reput ation of the Millville wagon. Mr. Dunbar, an important wagon manu facturer, on a recent visit to these works, gave it as his opinion that they sre the best farm wagons made in the world. Those who believe that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure them are more liable to get well then those who don't.

The makers are the World's Dis pensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y. They are known to every newspaper published and every druggist in the land, and you can easily ascertain that their word's as good as their bond.

Oentralia People Will Invoke the Aid of tne Law and Ask DAMAGES FOR RUINED HOMES. The people living at Centralia whose homes were damaged to an extent that makes them unhabitable, by the caving in of the surface over the old Hazle Dell colliery workings a few weeks ago, will seek redress in the law for the losses that they have sustained. A number of them have combined, and placed the case in the hands of a leading Sunbury lawyer who now has the deeds in his possession, with a view to entering suit at an early day. The insurance companies who had risks on the damaged properties have cancelled all policies, and will take no further risks on the buildings what ever. The surface continues to give occa sionly, and it is claimed that this will continue for some months to come, and in the end will have the effect of entirely running the homes affected by the break.
