Through the influences of the IVrto liiciin commissioner of ed ucation, Martin Grove Brum baugh, A. M. I'll. D., the develop ment of the sunny isle has just received a notable impetus in An drew Carnegie's gift of lt,0OO for a public library. The library will be built iu the Plaza Colon at San Juan, nnd will contain 3,000 English and Spanish volumes. Definite plans will be formulated when Dr. Brumbaugh confers with Mr. Carnegie some time this mouth. Dr. Brumbaugh is not a stranger to Pittsburgers. He has lectured before local audiences a number of times, and has many ardent admirers here. Eudowed with a charming and inspiring ia dividuality, he has made himself one of the foremost educators of the country. Less than 25 years ago he was a lad in a mountain vil lage of Huntingdon county, Pa. On the eve of an iuteuded secret departure for the West an uncle happened to olfer to aid him in furthering hi, education. His trunk, already packed, was seut to college insteadof to the Rockies. He served as superintendent of schools in his county two terms and afterward pursued his stud ies iu Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, and later in Ger many. In 193 he was placed in charge of the department of ped aggy ut the University of Penn sylvania, .and was elected presi dent Juuiata college at Hunting don. He rilled both positious ac ceptably, and has lectured exten sively throughout the country. Last year he was granted a leave of absence from his duties to as sume a position as one of the Por to Rican commissioners. The schools iu the island have develop ed wonderfully through hisorgan izatiou. Numerous new schools, built with insular funds, have been opened, and about 200 En glish teachers are employed. Heretofore there had been no school buildings cm the island. Commissioner Brumbaugh's 'History of the Brethren" (Dun kers) is an authority iu American church history. He has also written on phases of Pennsylva r.ia history, where 'his interest centers; and Old Keystone is proud of her son. Saved His Life. "I wish to say that I feel I owe jny life to K'odol DyspepsiaCure," writes H. C. Chresteusou of Hay lit Id, Minn. "For three years I was troubled with dj'spepsia so that I could hold nothing on my stomach. Many times I would be unable to retain a morsel of tViod. Finally I was confined to my bed. Doctors said I could not live. I read one of your adver tis lnents on KodoL Dyspepsia Cure and thought it fit my case and commenced its use. I began to improve from the first bottle. Xow I am cured and recommend it to all." Digests your food. Cures all stomach troubles. Most of the insects common to house plants dislike tobacco as much as does the cleanly house wife. The best way to use it as itu insecticide upon window plants is to secure agood handful of tobacco stems, place them in an old basin, jiour boiling water upon them, and let them stand for several hours. Then drain olf the liquid into a basin or tub deep, enough for immersing the tops of your plants in, aud dilute it ith warm water until it shows only a faint tint of brown Then take up the plants one at a time, aud hold them, tops down, iu the water, washing them clean. --December Ladies' Home Jour nal. 4 Deal Justly With the Children, SuMn T. IViry. In Clirlslhm Work. There is oftentimes a great dif ference between the children in one family. One is quite plain, while the others are tine looking, or one is dull, while the others are bright It is so easy to put the pretty child and the bright child iu the foreground and keep the plain child aud the dull child back. Parents have shown such partial ity in this respect, oftentimes, that the lives of the neglected oues have been made most miser able. "For some reason or other she has never seemed to be any favorite with her father," said a f rieud, iu speaking of a child not long since; "he makes so much more of his other children than ho does of her." Children are quick to see parti ality shown by parents, aud when the recipients of it are particular ly bright or pretty, the child who lias not received those gifts thinks them the all-important ones, nnd grows to be morbid and curious. The pretty child is uot always no ted for sweet traits of character, by any means. Because she is made so much of, she becomes conceited and selfish. There is a pathetic poem which speaksof afather calling his "pet" The foot-falls that fell on his ear were from the child not in such great favor, and as he called, the little one responded, in a sad tone of voice, "It isn't 'pet, 'papa. It's only me." Some mothers get iu a way, perhaps unconsciously, of allow ing the sweet tempered child to give up his or her rights because the brother or sister is imperious and exacting, and if denied what is wished for will make so much trouble. We heard a mother say, "Let sister have it, dear. You know what a time I shall have with her if you don't, and you are always so unselfish that you won't mind." We were once iu a family where there were two sisters. Oue was noted for her beauty aud her talents, and the other for her plainness and sweet spirit. We noticed that the first choice of anything- was always oifered to the pretty one. The other sister always wished to have it so, al though she was the elder. She was perfectly unselfish and al most adored (if that word can be used in this connection) her jounger sister. The whole household revolved around her, and she grew to think that she was entitled to the precedence and preference, and she accepted it as her due. We often wonder ed what the outcome would be in the years to come. We heard nothing for ten years from that family, as our lives were widely separated. Then we were told that the pretty sister was mar ried, had three little children and a good husband, but somehow family cares were not to her taste and wearied tier. The el der sister had not married, and was devoting her life to her younger sister and her family, lifting the cares from her selfish pretty sister's shoulders. But she loved these children as if they were her own, aud her influence over them, no doubt, was much better than their mother's, who preferred social pleasures to home duties. No thought of ap preciation of her sister's sacrifi ces ever seemed to come to her mind. Parents should be on the alert to quell the tendency that one child in the family has to demand more of the others than is just and right. The child who lias not the gifts of beauty and men tal attainments which the others have, should be particularly no ticed in love's sweet ways in con sequences. Never should one child be allowed to domineer over another. Mothers will find the highest work of lift, and that which will pay best in the end, right in their own homes. To teach the children to culti vate the spirit of Christ in the home wih be a power for good in their lives and the lives of those associated with them in later years. The fruits of the spirit are "love,, joy, peace, loug-sulTer-ing, gentleness, goodness, faith and meekness." It is in vain for the parents to point out the way to live in sweet accord to their children, unless the walk in that way themselves. Deal justly with the little one. Teach them that a sweet unselfish loving spirit is far more to be de sired than a pretty J face or brill iant intellectual attainment with out it. History of the Day. Thanksgiving Day is a peculiar ly American institution. History it is true, Informs us that the pious people of Lyden, Holland, observed a day of thanksgiving as early as 1575, to commemorate the first anniversary of the raising of tho siege of that city. In 1G23 a day of fasting and prayer was ap pointed on account of tho drought. Rain came abundantly while the peoplo were praying, aud the gov ernor appointed a day of thanks giving which was observed with religious exercises. The first Thanksgiving, appoin ted by authority in America, was proclaimed in Massachusetts Bay in 1031. Owing to the great scarc ity of provisions and consequent menace of starvation, the 22d of February was designated to bo observed as a fast day. Beforo that date a long-expected vessel arrived from Ireland loaded with provisions, and the fast day was changed iuto one of thanksgiving. Benjamin Franklin relates that in a time of great despondency among the first settlors of New England it was proposed iu one of their public meetings to proclaim a fast. An aged farmer rose and spoke of provoking Heaven with their complaints aud of the many mercies they had received and of the causes they had for giving thanks. He then made a motion that, instead of apioiut ing a day of fasting they should appoint a day of thanksgiving. To this the assembly readily agreed. Massachusetts was the first of the colonies to appoint an annual thanksgiving by tho proclamation oftlu Euglish governor. During the revolution Thauksgiviug Day was a national institution, being annually recommended by con gress; but after a general thanks giving for peace iu there was no national appointment until 179, when Washington, by re-, quest of congress, recommended a day of thanksgiving for the a doption of the Constitution. Wash ington issued a second proclama tion of thanksgiving in 17'Jjon ac couut of the suppression of insur rection. President Madison, by request of congress, recom mended a thanksgiving for peace iu 1815, but official recommenda tion of a day for giving thanks was only confined to New England until the year 1817, after which day it was regularly appointed by the governor of New York. In 1855 Governor Jackson, of Vir ginia, recommended a day of thanksgiving; but in 1857 Gover nor Wise, when requested to do so, publicly declined, on the ground that he was not authorized to interfere in religious matters. During the war between the states in 1m(3 and 1hG4, President Lincoln issued proclamations re commending national thanksgiv ing. Since then a proclamation has been issued annually by the presidents, us well as by the gov ernors of the various states and the mayors of the principal cities, and custom has fixed the time as the last Thursday in November. In the early days Thanksgiving was a purely religious holiday. Later on it became the occasion for annual family reunions and feasts, preceded by church ser vices. Latterly it seems to have been given over to the foot ball players, just as Decoration Day has been appropriated by the bi cyclists. Whether attending a foot ball game is calculated to make men think soberly and seriously of tho blessings which have crowned the year is a ques tion which, we are told, requires individual answer. Advocates of the great college game claim that the innovation is harmless, yet not even the most enthusiastic among them venture theassertion that it has a tendency to make anyone feel grateful for the boun ties Providence has bestowed up on him. There are many ways of showing gratitude, but the old fashioned way of thankiug the Lord in His house seems, after all, to bo tho best and most ele vating. Suy-H He Wuh Tortured.

An effort is to bo inado beforo Congress to put iu operationasys tem of postarcurreucy. The ob ject is to provido the means for sending small amounts of money through the mails safely. The idea is to priutof $1, 2 aud 5 de nominations iu the same forms as bills of those denominations now iu circulation as money, with the exception that blank spaces will be left for tho name and address of the payee. A blank space is also left for a two-ceut stamp. When, a person desires to send money to pay a newspaper sub scription omuy other small debt, he has sun ply to take a 1 bill or one of auy olher denomination from his pocket, write in the name of the person to whom he wishes the money to go, put a 2 ceut stamp on to pay the govern ment fee, enclose in au envelope and mail the bill, which has be come by his act a check on the government instead of a piece of currency. The person who re ceives this government check can deposit it in auy bank or have it redeemed at the local post office. It finally reaches the treasury de partment, where a new note is to be issued to replaco it. It is claimed for this system that it will keep the small notes circula ting as money cleaner and fresher than they are now, and that the government will derive a consid erable income from it. The sys tem is i'pprovcd by some of the post olllco authorities, and by some it is urged that fractional postal currency should also be furnished in paper, like the old fashioned shia plaster money which was current during the civil war. An Evangelist's Story. . "I suffered for years with a bronchial or lung trouble and tried various remedies but Qid not obtain permanent relief until I commenced using One Minute Cough Cure," writes Rev.

The husband, Fritz, has two dogs, of which he is very foud. Ono is a pup, while the other is quite old; but as some times occurs with dogs of differ ent breeds, the old dog is much smaller than the six mouths old puppy, "Derc vas somediugs funny aboud dem dogs allreatty," said Fritz, who was showing them to a friend the other day. "Dot liddlest dog was de piggest." Mrs. Skimmekopf, realizing that her husband had not made tho point quite clear, thought she had better come to his assistance. "Yon musteggscuse mine hus band," she said. "De English languich he knows not goot. Vat ho means is dat de youngest dog vas de oldest." A Woman's Awful Peril.

In order to secure some evi dence for use in tho trial of n damage suit against a western railroad company tho father of two children who had been run over in Rooks county, Kau., re cently placed two dummy figures on the railway track at the point where the fatality occurred and awaited the arrival of an express train. His experiment nearly caused the loss of another life, for the fireman of the express saw what he supposed to bo an obstruction on tho track as the train approached at a speed of It) miles an hour and aM.otnptod to jump from the cab. The cool- headed engineer seized him in i the nick of time aud held him uu- j til the train passed over tho dum mies. r ; an Unoccupied Estate. i A tract of land, larger than the ' State of Masachusetts, of more j than ;",283,0()0 acres, lies vacaut j and unappropriated close to I)u- i luth, Minn.
