TEACHERS PENSIONS. Everybody admits that tlie teach ers in the public schools of Pennsyl vania are underpaid. They get no more, as a rule, than the laborer on the streets, and yet they are people ot culture, who have devoted years of their lives in fitting themselves for their duties and engage in a work that has few promises in the future, even as it has had no rewards in the past. The men are forsaking the profession from year to year, and the females seem likely to hold possession of the field a decade or two hence. The rea son for this is that men can find more lucrative employment, while only a limited number of women can. Even the femals have taken it up from ne cessity quite as much as from any other reason, and they, too, drop out so soon as a husband or somethiug better offers. But, for all this, we see no reason why they should be fastcued on the State Treasury as pensioners. Why more than any one else ? Their en trance on their life work was not more compulsory than their entrance upon any other employment. Their continuance is at their own will and pleasure, and they can drop it when ever they see proper to do so. They are tied down to no longer term of service than six or ten months, and many even break their contracts when better wages are offered from some other quarter. What, then, constitutes their special" claim above all other workers upon the State's bounty '? Their work is a high and most worthy one, we all admit, but it is not forced upon them. It is not harder than most other work. The fact that they crowd into it seems to show that it is more desirable than most other occupations. Even though the pay is inadequate, why do they not try something that pays better? Is it because they can command no higher wages at anything else? Then, again, we pension no other class of laborers. Special pensions are some times awarded for extra services, but none are pensioned because they are a class by themselves. The argument, 1 it seems to us, is not well founded. The evils of promiscuous pensioning are notorious. England is a victim ot the evil, and she is doing the best she can to get rid of it, for it is cost ing her great sums. Schools absorb a large portion of the Commonwealth's | revenues. We must draw the line somewhere as we go along. The true ! remedy is to pay teachers adequate salaries. —DON'T lie a coward whatever else ! you are. If you feel you are right stick to it if it takes your last drop of i blood. — MORE sores are healed, more hearts mended, by a "sweet smile and a pleasant" word, than all the medi cine in the world. Crossness never pays, am! it afiects the cro:S one most. — THE mercury and the snow have both been falliug for some days past, giving what is commonly known as the seasonable weather which every one has been wishing for. Having come, it is to be hoped there will be no further fault-finding for a while. — IT is stated that Colonel Bryan lias already booked eighty-six lectures at SoOO each during the present year; the likelihood is he will run the num ber to one hundred or more. That means 850,000 in cold cash and no expenses to speak of. Besides, it is a dead sure thing, no trouble or worry, 110 abuse, but praise everywhere. If lie is wise he will stick to the plat form and let the Presidency go. — IF we may take Professor Morse, of Johns Hopkins University, at his word and belief, perhapsotir coal sup ply will last a few hundred years longer than is now believed. A short time ago lie invented a new type of electric furnace, and recently he so improved it that it can now be easily used lor cooking. Its great value consists in the fact that the heat can be increased or diminished one degree in a moment, and maintained at any given temperature for an indefinite period. Dr. Morse is now engaged in experimenting with the values of var ious food stud's, and the temperatures at which they must be prepared in order to produce the best results. It is not difficult to see the great value of this invention if the predictions of the discoverer shall be realized. Rails For Kulp's Road. The Shamokln Trolley Extension Company on Friday let n contract with tlie Pennsylvania Steel company, of Steeltou, for 2,240 tons of rails,which will be laid as soon as possible over an eighteen-mile stretch between Sha luokin and Suubury.

EDITOR:—The weather offici als get their business mixed up con siderably these days. Warm, mod erate and cold days follow each other in rapid succession, with an occasion al snow thrown in for good measure. The roads were rough and deep holes abound making driving anything but a pleasure. John Drumheiser, of Shamokin, is visiting his father-in-law, \V. A. Smith, during the early part of the woe'c. David Snyder, of Milton, is spend ing some time with his sis'er, Mrs. Samuel Jarrett. John A. Smith, of Light street, will occupy the tenant house of Henry \V. Shade, in the spring. Tlios. Yerg, of Washingtonville, visited his parents, Martin Yerg and wife, last Tuesday. John Kreppenick, the well known auctioneer, paid Schuyler a business trip on Tuesday. Next Saturday Limestone township will hold its primary election for the selection of candidates for the several offices to be filled at the February elections. Every voter shtu'd turn | out and select the best men, especial ly for the office of school directors and supervisors. It looks now as though I the Legislature would make no , changes in the laws and we will have to make the best we can out of it. Hope we will get better results this year than we did last year in regard to the roads. l Jany. 23rd, 1907. BILI„ To Break In New Shoes Atwa>s Use Allen's Foot-Kusc, a iiowder.

Bears vim N" Kind You Have Always Bought How to Deal With the Butcher. | It is quite as true that wisdom is [ m >ney as that time is money, and J never so true as when dealing with the butcher. To know how to buy a I piece of beef that will cost only | twenty cents but when cooked alight will be as delicious and as nourishing as one which cost forty cents means i money to the housewife. Many liouse | wives, however, do not even know one cut of b >ef from another except as the j butcher labels it. Along these lines a series of articles in the NEW IUKA 1 WOMAN'S MAGAZINE is giving in formation. Miss Elizabeth W. Mor j rison, the well-known writer mi food j topics, talks of"The Hind Quarter lof Beef' in the February number, I showing by diagrams where each ciil j lies and following the general treat j ment of the subject by a number of | gooil recipes, such as pot roast and beefsteak rolls. The future numbers will take up veal aud lamb in tin same way. THE HEADLESS BANDIT. Qncer Story From the Archives of the Vienna Court*. ! Dr. Loye, n French physician, who grently interested himself In the ques tion, "What passes In the head of a decapitated human being?" related the following remarkable story, which he stated was taken from the archives of the Vienna courts: It was In the year that Schoenenburg, a well knowu bandit, and four of his associates were caught and condemned to death. They were already on their knees ready to pay the penalty of their bloody deeds by submitting to the awful fate of de capitation when Schoenenburg address ed the judge, asking that his four com panions might be pardoned on certain conditions. "If," asked the bandit, "after I am beheaded I get up and walk to the first of my comrades, will you pardon him?" The Judge thought that he was pretty safe In complying with the request. "Then," continued Schoenenburg, "if I walk to the sec ond, the third and the fourth, will you pardon them also?" The Judge replied that If such a mlrqeulous feat could be performed he would obtain pijplons for the other three also. The bandit was now satisfied, and, bending his head, ho received the fataJ blow. In stantly the head rolled down In the sand, but to tha surprise and horror of all present the headless tri}?)!s arose and walked alone. Aimlessly, It ap peared, the body walked around until it passed the first, the second, the third and the fourth condemned bandit, when It foil down and became motion less. Query, "Hew .could a headless body think?" Voting in Paris. "In Paris only one-fifth of the voteri goto the polls and cast their ballots," said an American who has lived In Paris as a business man for several years past. "This Is not because they cannot vote, but because they do not care to. Everybody J/» tfio city Is In terested in politics, but when the Unit to vote comes few care togo to the polls. The man who wins Is most often the man who promises every thing, For Instance, In my district last time a maj; was elected who promised to put a new shed on market. I know of another deputy Who was kept In office fifteen years be cause he projnlsed to add an extra sar dine to the dally rations of the sol diers. There are so many soldiers that that made a big difference. They did not get the sardine, but ho continued promise and kept office."—Washing ton Posi, | *DrU*sillcL s\ I Choosing j S By Constance D'Arcy M&ckivy 1 Copyright, 1900, by M. M. Cunningham | dttHHUUUUVUUUUVUtHtUO Gordon Keith aud Tod Itogers were oatlng supper in what they called the "living room" of the shack when the Itage, dust covered aud lumbering, flrew up in front of the door. There was a girl on the sent by the driver. Bhe leaned forward impetuously. "This is El Paso, Mr. Keith's ranch, isn't It?" she demanded by way of in troduction. "I'm Prusilla Cameron, and I've come to surprise my brother Ned." And before the astoulsheil Keith could reply she had scrambled down over the wheel, while the stage driver grinned widely In delight at the situa tion and In admiration of the girl. She was all In brown, from her pon gee dust coat to her low shoes. Her hair was chestnut color, and so wero the eyes that looked out frankly from under the rim of her smart traveling hat. "Besides," she continued, "I knew that if I telegraphed beforehand you'd have everything all fixed up for me, and I wanted to see }*ou Just as you really are." "You've certainly done that, Miss Cameron," laughed Keith, with a rue ful glance at the helter skelter supper table and the walls, where leather saddles and skins and gayly colored magazine covers jostled for promi nence. Rogers, who had sat speech less, coffee cup In hand, at her first en trance, now weut to help the driver with her luggage, while Keith, rising to liis duties as host, bade her welcome and hung up her hat and coat on a peg on the wall. lie apologized profusely for the appearance of the supper table, the heavy china and the plated knives and forks, from which every vestige of silver was fast disappearing, but Dru silla laughed and said It was Just as she hoped It would be, and, please since she was ravenously hungry, couldn't she begin right away? And where was Ned all this time, she questioned, and when would he be "I WANTED TO SEE YOU JUST AS Yotf liEAIiLY ABE." in? She was dying to see him! 110 had told her how well and tanned ho was and how good Keith aud Rogers had been to him during his four months' stay. She could never thank them enough for what they had done for the boy, and—oh, there he was And she rushed out the doorway as a fair beaded young fellow of eighteen came galloping up on his broncho. "We'll clear out and let them have supper together," said Keith to Rogers, "and while that's going on I'll tlx up my room for her, and you can rldo over to Jessop's aud get Mrs. Malone. 1 guess she'll be willing to cook for us for a couple of weeks. She Isn't equal to the Waldorf-Astoria, but she can get a good plain meal." "This sure Is the most excitement we've had since Big Pete shot up Las Gorro," drawled Rogers. "I'm off!" Later In the evening Drusllla, dis claiming all fatigue, sat outside with Keith's banjo on her knee and sang them all the latest songs till, as Ned declared, "you could Just see the lights of Broadway and hear the clack-clack of the hansoms rolling by. Seems strange to think of it out here," lie added half beneath Ills breath. From where they were sitting they could see the Texas plains rolling away to the sky line, shadowy, Immu table, full of the mystery of the night. The wind blew past tliein sweet with the breath nf great spaces. The stars shone very large and bright and clear. Drusllla's lips parted. "No. this Isn't very much like It," she echoed. "Are you glad?" Keith challenged. "I don't know—yet,'' she answered slowly. "It's the first time I've ever been on the plain. In fact, It's thu first time that I've ever been away from the metropolis, for summer re sorts full of city people don't count, do they?" "They do not!" said Keith decidedly For an th ir eye? met. an 1 Drusllla was conncl us of the strength of a man w'id seemed as inimutnble ns the plans th 'mselvos. lie was above the average height, bronzed and deep chested, and hi* guy eyes had the di rect, searching gazo of those aceus turned to looking at great distances, Ii the days that followed It was Gordoi Keith who monopolized the greatei sh ire of Ii t time and thoughts, and i was with him she talked and tramped ami rode.

' ' "Then you are beginning to feel thu call of it,"he said quietly, "as I hoped you would. And now I can say what I've been wanting to say ever since I prst met you: Wiil you marry me, Dru sllla ?'• ' She shook her head. Tm sorry," she said softly, "oh, so sorry! it would be venal to tell you how ihiicU j-ijur friendship luu meant to mo—you must Ii ivo b'umhcil mat al ready. But what you ask Is impos sible." "Then you do not—care?" | ••carer nor voice wavered on the wonl. "All, you don't know liow near I've come to loving you and bow I've fought it down, for I knew I couldn't give up what's calling to me from the city I've left—all the cotillons and din ners and teas of the life I love. And you once belonged to it toD. You've confessed as much. Why," she made a little beseeoh'nu gesture, "why did you ever give it up?" "Because I was sick of being a pup pet in evening clothes, because I was tired to dentil of the shams and the tinsel and the falseness, and I wanted to get out where I could breathe deep and look up to the stars and feel that I was a man. Drusilla"— | "No, 110," she begged. "Don't ask ; me. for I couldn't, I couldn't!" j 111 silence they rode toward the I shack. The long light of the sunset glow was across the plains. Bright j clouds were piled In the west. Against I the molten sky of red and gold a cow- I boy rider loped in picturesque silhou ette. ! "It's big and free and beautiful," , Drusilla murmured to herself, "but It's , not for me!" j A week later she went east, and her ! going left a great gap in the lives of the three men at El Paso. Ned per haps missed her least of all, for he was togo home In November. Rogers open ly mourned her departure. "Don't seem natural," he complained, | "not to hear her step about the house ' or her songs In the evening." j But Keith, who felt her going most, ! kept silent, carrying with him a long lug that would not be satisfied. Drusilla had given her promise to write, yet she was slow in fulfilling It. Even Ned grumbled as day after day went by and 110 word came from her save a telegram saying she had ar rived safely and a few picture postal cards covered with hasty scribbling. Rogers made excuses forgoing to the mail oftener than was really necessary, and his persistency was at length re warded, for one day lie returned with three letters In Drusilla's handwriting Ills was full of amusing incidents, Ned's of gossip and sisterly affection, but to Keith she wrote: "You are right after all. I am smoth ered with conventionality and weary of riding my prescribed length In the park. It's all such a social circus. And It Isn't the call of the plains that's drawing me. It's the call of the heart Do you hate the metropolis too much to come here to marry me?" • *••••• "Well," observed Rogers, standing In the doorway a few minutes latei and watching Keith galloping Into the distance. "For sheer hustling thai beats all I've ever seen. lie sure de serves to catch that train." IleartlN mid Shaving. Peter the (jreat once forbade beards throughout his dominions, but. finding how dearly the Russian loved his beard, Peter al'owed liini to keep it i) he was a noble on payment of a tax oi 100 rubles (about ssl), and if he wast peasant or a priest, by paying a kopecl (half a cent) every time he passed the gate of a city. A large revenue was produced by the tax, In return foi which the collectors gave a small cop per coin called the "borodovaia," 01 "the bearded;" and every man whe >hose to wear a beard was obliged t< produce this when he entered a town In default he was thrown into prison Dr. John Bulwer in his "Antliropome tamorpliosls, or Man Transformed,' (1030), writes angrily: "Shaving tin chin Is Justly to be accounted a note 0; effeminacy. What greater evidence • •an be given of etTeminacy than to bt transformed Into the appearance of 1 womau? A shameful metamorphosis!' He declares It to be done "against tin edicts of (Jod, the oracles cf the proph et3, the placlts of the councils and tin judgment of learned men." But, ii spite of these fulmlnatlons, the custori soon became universal, among soldier: as well as civilians. MAKING WAMPUM. .4 ProeeKH That Require* Both Pa tience and Skill. With certain tribes wampum is stil highly prized and necklaces are worr by men, women and children wlier they are the fortunate possessors ol them. To make wampum various kind* of shells are used, white and those having a lavender hue being mosl liked. The thin shells are broken into little pieces and by aid of nippers are maele as nearly round as possible. Wliei each piece is drilled In the center, tin old time fire kindling style of drill be ing used, the shells are then strung anc rolled with the hand 011 a fl.it stone which grinds them until they arc smooth and even. Comparatively few Indians anions those who prize wampum beads most highly have the skill or patience t< make them, oven though they had tin materials. The fact Is there are bu few wampum bend makers in the eoun try, and it often happens that long pll ! grimageg must be made tq secure tin i requisites for really lino beads, and, as with the white man's trinkets, thai which Is "far fetched and dear bought' is most sought after for ornamentation Around some of the ancient ruins ii the southwest the little disks of wain pum are often found in the sand, and ii is probable that they were de*positei' In iho graves in very early times aiiL 1 washed ouf or exposed by the wind's action. These ruins arc'in the bc-i state of preservation of any In tlj< country. Absolutely nothing Is knowi of their builders, and the origin ol these ruins was as much a mysterj when Coronado first saw them in 1540 when he made his famous Invasion, as it is to the people of the present elay.- nuiian's l'V-ouii Oxygen nnil Mmluootnn. A singular way of removing oxyger from the air by the aid of a plant if as follows: luside a glass bell Jar, sua ponded ovor wator, is placed a mush room, and sunlight is allowed to fal upon the plant. The niu»hre>oni ab sorbs the oxygen from the air in the jar, and the carbonic ackl formed dur ing the process is absorbed by the wa ter, which gradually rises in the Jai to one-fifth of its height. The nuisli room now dries up, but its animation is only suspended, as may be proved by introducing beside i£ a green plant, when it will recommence to vegetate being nourished by the oxygen exhaled from the fresh plant. !!»*#: "Mr. Merchant," said the new clerk, preparing to ask for tuoro money, "I think I understand the business pretty well now, and"— "Yes?" interrupted his employer.
