That the Legislature is to give the people a genuine ballot reform act is altogether probable, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. To draw up a measure that wjll suit all in terests at llarrisburg is a difficult ta.-k. Several bills have been in troduced, including those of the theoretical reformers, that of Sena tor Focht and linally one settled upon by the Democratic party leaders. The Focht bill, which ■was on the calendar, has been sent • back to committee in order that it may be compared with the Demo cratic proposition and changes made if desirable. The Focht measure is not radi cally different from the Democratic scheme, the principal point of dif ference being in the retention of the circle for straight party voting by Mr. Focht and its rejection by Col. Guffey. In both bills the names of candidates are grouped under the title of the offices for which they are running. In both, also, a candidate's name can appear but once on the ballot. If named by petition, that is to say nomina tion papers, the Gulfey measure permits the names of the various parties that may indorse the nomi nation to appear after the name, which the Focht bill does not pro vide for. The Democratic bill commands the production of a bal lot box whenever five citizens charge fraud. This latter propo sition is taken from the platform of tin; Republican State convention of last year. These are minor details over which there is not likely to ba much haggling. It ought not to be diffi cult for both Republicans and Dem ocrats to get together in a general way, but the contest is coming over the question whether, after print ing the names of the candidates by the group system of the Australian l>allot, an opportunity for voting a whole ticket by a single cross in a eirele shall be given. On this point there are differences of opinion among the members of both parties. It seems a little hard to require a man to mark the name of each can didate in a long ticket. "On the other hand it is held that voting is a duty as well as a privilege, and that a voter ought not to begrudge the time necessary for properly .marking a ticket. There will be much discussion of this eirele business, and party ilines will l>ebroken. Pending that time Die whole subject is back in committee for revision. TREATMENT OF*A COLO. Ssi»(- Good Advice by a Well Known Phy sician. A well known physician says that a • cold car: be easily treated at its outset, but if neglected may load to la grippe and pneumonia. lie says that the best home treatment for the cure of colds and la jjiippe is Krauso's Cold Cure Capsules. Ileuses them almost exclusively in his practice, as they do not a fleet the head as dots quinine, nor upset the stamach. This remedy is prepared in soft, soluble gelatine capsule, which are easily dissolv ed by the warmth and fluids of the stom aeh. They arc much preferable to little hard, sugar-coated pills or tablets that dways offer objectionable resistance to assimilation. Krause's Cold Cure posi tively cures cold in the head, cold in the chest, cold in the throat or cold in any i part ot tho body, and it will prevent the development oi bronchitis or pneumonia, ft is for sale by all lirst-class drug stores at 2.3 cents a box.

Convened at Emporium in High School Building, Saturday Morning, n«rcta 33, 1901. The flrst session of the Teachers' Lo cal Institute opened with song by the Institute, followed with devotional ex ercises, conducted by Rev. J. M. Rob ertson. After a chorus by the High School, the first subject on the program, "His tory teaching," was discussed by Miss Bonham. History is the true story of man and his environments, socially, morally, physically. The subject should be considered under three heads: [(1) Its educational value. (2) The | teacher's requirements. (3) Methods | of teaching. Since, as Shakespeare : says,"the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players," the stu dent should be led to view the stage from the highest, most unbiased points of view, so that they may see why the men and women have played the parts they have, and they will be the better ! able to take up their part of the drama, and enact it in the wisest manner. Miss Bair then read a paper on the "Aim in primary reading." (1) Make a child quick in the recognition of words and letters. (2) Secure his in terest in the contents, that he may be able to see the beauty, goodness and truth in the world's best literature. The reading of the paper was followed by a general discussion, opened by Mr. Peterson, of Sterling Run, and followed by Mr. Woodward and Miss Collins. A vocal solo, by Miss Grace Lloyd, after which Miss Evers, of Beechwood, talked upon the "Teacher's duty to the backward pupil." Miss Evers was fol lowed by Mr. Woodward, who contin ued the Bame discussion, defining the various reasons for backwardness. Dullness is as often due to a physical defect, as to a lack of mental power. Mr. Suhrie opened the general discus sion by saying tho tendency of late has been to give too much, rather than too little time to the backward pupil; that he should be made to think for himself, not to depend on someone else. Miss Mazie Gallagher then played a ' violin solo, after which the Institute adjourned until 1:30 p. m. The afternoon session was opened with a chorus by the High School. Mr. Peterson talked upon "Waste of time in public schools." (1) Lack of parental authority. (2) Two many amusements. (3) Not enough respect to teacher's authority. The talk was to parents, teachers and directors. School visitation was discussed by Mr. Woodward. It is important that teachers should become acquainted with parents, as well as pupils. A piano duet by Misses Eva and Iva Leet, was followed by the discussing of the subject, "Literature in the pupil's life," by Mr. A. L. L. Suhrie Success I in teaching depends more upon the i teacher's capability of appreciating good literature, than upon the number of books he has read, or the number of critics he has heard. Mr. I. K. Hockley addressed the In stitute, talking upon the "Relation of teacher and pupil." The parent in structs the moral, physical and spirit ual being, while it is the teacher's special prerogative to teach the intel lectual nature, and the work of the two inseparable. Miss Edna Auchu played a piano solo, after which Mr. Josiah Howard talked upon the public schools meeting the demand of the business world. Power to think is power to achieve; the better the training the greater the power. A violin solo was rendered by Miss Grace Walker. The Institute adjourned at 4:15. * * * Letter to ETW. Uasklll. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: You know your painter; we don't; we only know painters in general. There are two sorts, as there are two sorts of everybody else. One paints as well as he can; the other as poor as he can and get business. The one who paints as well as he can is all the time learning; the other one knows it all now. Josh Billings says "it's better not to know too much than to know so many things that a'n't so." There are lots of things in paint that "a'n't so." Lead and oil is one of'em. Devoe lead and zinc lasts twice as long; is better in every respect; is ready to dip the brush in; you can depend on the colors; no mystery; no uncertainty; costs 110 more; costs less. We hope you employ Mr. Open-Mind Painter, and not Mr. Know-it-all-now. Yours truly, 27 F. W. DEVOE & Co. Rich Valley. Editor Praia:— S. S. Hacket commenced his log drive Monday.

A short time ago the teacher sent two children to their home for refusing to obey her ord ers. The parents returned one of the pupils, ouly to be again sent home. Blood was then up to fighting heat. The school directors were called to investigate the cause of the trouble and accordingly as sembled last Wednesday to investigate. No one was present to place the teacher on the rack. The plaintiffs went to Squire Whiting, at Sterling Run, on Sat urday, but he refused to hear the com plaint. Attorney J. P. McNarney, of Emporium, was present to protect the in terests of Miss Terby, the teacher. Yes, it would be pleasant, but impossibla for some people to attend to their own busi ness, so says C. J.
