"It is a jiity that more of ns can not cultivate the twofold way of looking at ttiwigs," writes Edward W. 15ok in June IauUcJ Home Journal. "There would lie less fric tion in lite if we did, and sweeter y mpathy, kinder understanding, and broader and fuller living. The fact is tliat we never reach the dignity of true living unless we do learn this all-important lesson. And that it may be cultivated admits of no doubt. It is simply a question of sclxxiling ourselves not to condemn generally what individually does not happen to be to our taste. If, for example, we prefer brown as a color there is no reason on earth why we should condemn the taste of any one who prefered to wear green. What the vast majority of us need is to be a little more self-poised, more judical, more willingtosee good in the tastes of others, although they do not please our own particular fancies. If we all thought alike, read the anie books, raw the same plays, The effect of the heavy raina, alter nate with great heat, is to give the the unaoclimated man a dull. In the cane fields shelters are erected to which the negroes run when the sudden rain comes down. "Yellow fever would notdo us bo much harm. It belongs in the cities, and we could probably beat it by cleaning up, same as Ben Butler did at New Orleans. But yellow jack is only one of the Cuban fevers. Rain and heat create decomposition and miasma. The soil of Cuba is a rich black loam, produced by the decay of vegetable matter. No one oan sleep on it in safety. Spaniards and Cubans in there campaigning carry hammocks. No unaoclimated troops could possibly campaign in Cuba during the rainy season wiui out suffering enormous losses through dystenery. country fever. broken bone fever, and the other forms of malaria. Thcv have luul some cases of beri-beri (like elepluui' tiasis) in (Julian cities lately, but don't know tliatthey would cut any figure. Public School Appropriations for Sny der County, M IhclusThus always under its present management secured the first information concerning thedistrihu tion of the school fund to the differ ent school districts from the state ap propriation. I liese figures are ex ceedingly interesting and the Post as usual is the first to get the official figures from the authorities at llar- risburg. 1 lie apinirtiounient is now made tuider a different system from that previously in operation and was adopted by the last legislature. Un der it the fund of $5,500,000 is dis tributed on the basis of $GG.07 to each teacher, $1.07 for each taxable, and $1.02 for each child of school age. Heretofore the aportioiinieut las Ijeen divided on the basis of the nuinlter of taxable. Under the pre sent plan one-third of the appro bation is Irnsed on the number of teachers employed, one-third on basis of taxables and one-third on basis of hildreu of school age. In order to how our readers h w this law works, we name the amount each district received last year and the amount t will receive this year. niNTRHTM. 1H7. 1HNH.

Dear Sir: The above is a cor rect report of the state appropriation for Snyder County for 1897-1898. Very respectfully, Johx Q. Stewart. To Geo. W. Wagenseller, Middleburg, Pa. The operation of this law strikes a Zig-Zag course, more bo, we pre- wore the same colors, this would besume,thanitsframerg and supporters supposed. 1 here are losses in some districts and gains in others. The districts that have lost are, Beaver, $56.32; West Beaver, $53.42; Centre, $101.94; Evandale, Inde pendent, $101. 57 : Franklin, $54.73; Jackson, $05.98; Middleburg, $24.00; Penn, $6.45; West Perry, 33.85; Selinsgrove, 5254.30. In the other districts there is an increase of appropriation as follows Adams, $27.72 ; Chapman, $117.24; Middlecreek, $2.23; Monroe, $37. 1 0, Perry, $222.13; Spring, $88.17; Unit $13.54; Washington $212.30. The total loss in the county over the appropriation last year is $32.71. Helinsgrove is the greatest loser, Term township is the lightest loser. Perry township isthegreatest gainer. ami Middlecreek lias the least gain. The Infant Terrible. an eiceedingly uninteresting world "We cannot we all things in the wme way but we can come near to justice and true respect by taking a twofold view ofthings while still re taining onr strong individual views. S-eing a possible good or use for everything does net necessarly mean a weak individuality. I he most uncomfortable people in the world are those who assort their judge ments in a hard, decisive ami final manner, as if they were worts of last revrt. On the other hand, the brightest and best rninds are those that have most respect for the opin j'tw of others." Cuba During The Rainy Season. Gen. (Jeorjre V.

General Astor in his jvuijania with growing despair depicted on his face facing restlessly up and down his tent and yelling for his "Bod!" Meanwhile the battle's thunder grows ajMice. Finally the confused and serried ranks are driven in, and then are forced to fly. Tie victorious Spaniards sweep after them! The tamp is overun! The general is disoovered. His dilemma has robbed him of the power of speech. He weep bitter briny teurs! "Oh," he moans, "had I learned in youth, don't ycr know,' to put on me pawnts!"
