Loyal to Old Keystone.
Through the influence of the
Porto Uican commissioner of ed
ucation, Martin Grove Brum
baugh, A. M. I'll. D., the develop
ment of tlio sunny isle lias just
received a notable impetus in An
drew Carnegie's gift of l(V,0OO
for a public library. The library
will be built iu the Plaza Colon at
Sau Juan, and will contain 25,000
English and Spauish 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. Helms
lectured before local audiences a
number of times, and has many
ardent admirers here. Endowed
with a charming and inspiring iu
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 Huntiogdon county, Pa.
On the eve of au intended secret
departure for the West au uncle
happened to offer to aid him in
furthering hi, education. His
trunk, already packed, vas sent
to college instead of to theRockies.
IJe 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 1113 he was placed in
charge of the department of ped
agogy at the University of Penn
sylvania, . and was elected presi
dent Juniata college at Hunting
don. He tilled both positions 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 commissioiners. The
schools iu the island have develop
ed wonderfully through hisorgan
ization. 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 on the island.
Commissioner Brumbaugh's
' History of the Brethren" (Dun-
kers) is an authority in American
church history. Ho has also
written on phases of Pennsylva
nia history, where his interest
centers; and Old Keystone is
proud of her son.

"I wish to say that I feel I owe
my life to Kodol DyspepsiaCure,"
writes H. C. Chrestenson of Hay
field, Minn. "For three years I
wns troubled with dyspepsia so
that I could hold nothing on my
stomach. Many times I would
be unable to retain a morsel of
food. Finally I was confined to
my bed. Doctors said I could not
live. I read one of your adver
tisements on KodoL Dyspepsia
Cure and thought it fit my case
and coin me need its use. I began
to improve from the first bottle.
Now I am cured and recommend
it to all." Digests your food.

Most of the iusects common to
house plants dislike tobacco as
much as does tho cleanly house
wife. The best way to use it as
tm insecticide upon window
plauts is to secure a good handful
of tobacco stems, place them iu
an old basin, jjour boiling water
upon them, and let them stand
for several hours. Then drain
off the liquid into a basin or tub
deep, enough for immersing the
tops of your plants in, and dilute
it with warm water until it
shows only a faint tint of brown
Theu take up tho plants one at a
time, and hold them, tops down,
in the water, washing them clean.

Deal Justly With
the Children.
Susnu T. l'orry. In Christina WorU.
There is oftentimes a great dif
ference between the children in
ouo family. One is quite plain,
while the others are line looking,
or one is dull, while tho others are
bright. It is so easy to put tho
pretty child and the bright child
iu the foreground and keep tho
plain child and 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 bo any
favorite with her father," said a
friend, in speaking of a child uot
long since; "he makes so much
more of his other children than
he does of her."
Children are quick to see parti
ality shown by parents, and when
the recipients of it are particular
ly bright or pretty, the child who
has not received those gifts thinks
them the all-important oues, and
grows to be morbid and curious.
Tho pretty child is not 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
speaksofafather calling his "pet"
The foot-falls that fell on his ear
were from the child not iu such
great favor, and as he called, the
little oue responded, in a sad tone
of voice, "It isn't 'pet,' papa. It's
only me."
Some mothers gat 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 deuied 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 in a family where
there were two sisters. Oue
was noted for her beauty and her
talents, and the other for her
plainness and sweet spirit. We
noticed that the first choice of
anything was always offered 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
younger sister. Tho 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 her. 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, and 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 has
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 life, and that which will
pay best in the eud, 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, long-suffering,
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
iunt intellectual attainment with
out it.
History of the Day.
Thanksgiving Day is a peculiar
ly American institution. History
it is true, informs us that tho
pious pooplo of Lyden, Holland,
observed a day of thanksgiving as
early as 1575, to commemorate tho
first anniversary of the raising of
the siege of that city. Iu ll23 a
day of fasting and prayer was ap
poiutedou account of tho drought.
Rain came abundantly while tho
peoplo wero praying, and 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 be
observed as a fast day. Before
that date a loug-expected vessel
arrived from Ireland loaded with
provisious, and the fast day was
changed iuto one of thanksgiving.
Benjamin Franklin relates that
in a time of great despondency
among tho first settlers 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 and of the
many mercies they had received
and of the causes they had for
giving thanks. He theu made a
motion that, instead of apjioiut
iug 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 the proclamation
of tin English 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 17t4 there was
no national appointment until
1789, when Washington, by re-,
quest of congress, recommended
a day of thanksgiving for the a
doptiou of the Constitutiou. Wash
ington issued a second proclama
tion of thanksgiving in 171)5 on ac
count of the suppression of insur
rection. President Madisou,
by request of congress, recom
mcuded a thanksgiving for peace
iu 1S15, but official recommenda
tion of a day for giving thauks
was only confined to New England
until the year 1817, after which
day it was regularly appoiuted
by the governor of New York.
In 1855 Governor Jackson, of Vir
ginia, recommended a day of
thanksgiving; but in 157 Gover
nor Wise, when requested to do
so, publicly declined, on the
ground thathe was not authorized
to interfere in religious matters.
During the war between the
states in 18(53 and 18G4, President
Lincoln issued proclamations re
commending national thanksgiv
ing. Since then a proclamation
has been issued annually by the
presidents, as 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 the 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
tho innovation is harmless, yet
not even the most enthusiastic
among them venture theassertion
that it has a tendency to make
any one 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 thanking the
Lord in His houso Hoems, after
all, to be tho best and most ele
vating.

Proposed New Postal Notes.
An effort is to be mado boforo
Congress to put iu operationasys
tem of postafcuiTeucy. The ob
ject is to provide tho meaus for
sending small amounts of money
through the mails safely. The
idea is to priutof if 1, $2 and 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 the name and address
of tho payee. A blauk space is
also left for a two-cent stamp.
When, a person desires to send
money to pay a newspaper sub
scription or my other small debt,
he has simply to take a $1 bill or
one of any oilier 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 tho bill, which has bo
come by his act a check on tho
government instead of a piece of
currency. The person who re
ceives this government check can
deposit it iu any 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 replace 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 tho
government will derive a consid
erable income from it. The sys
tem is approved by some of the
post ofKce authorities, and by
some it is urged that fractional
postal currency should also be
furnished iu paper, like tho old
fashioned shin plaster money
which was current during the
civil war.

She Hade It Clear.
In a suburb of a Western city
lives an old German couple named
Skimmekopf. The husband,
Fritz, has two dogs, of which he
is very fond. Oue 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..
"Dero vas somedings 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 iiiusi eggscuse mine hus
