Tide.
There is no occupation so fascinating
to the foolish-minded as thinking that
the world is against them. The busy
world doesn’t even know they exist.
Form a habit of throwing off, before
going to bed at night, all the cares and
anxieties of the day—everything which
can possibly cause mental wear and
tear or'deprive you of rest.
The only thing that walks back from
the tomb with the mourners and re-
fuses to be buried is character. That
is true. What a man is, survives him.
It never can be buried. It stays about
the house when his footsteps are heard
there no more. It lives in the com-
munity where he was known; hence,
we should take care to build into our
characters only beautiful things.
FRIENDS.
A friend in the house is a blessing.
We all need friends. Happiness and
growth depend upon the stimulus of
congenial companionship. Heart and
mind and body work well enough in
solitude for a time, but soon the de-
mand for companionship becomes im-
perative, and without it the best part
of our nature dies. Life becomes a
mere existence, hardly worth the liv-
ing. “We loose our days, and are bar-
ren of thought for want of some person
to talk to.” Thought crystalizes in
speech. The mental effort necessary
to communicate our ideas to others
stimulates the brain to renewed activ-
ity, and so the mind is brightened by
conversation with a friend. The wise
man has said: “The ornament of a
house is the friends who frequent it.
There's no event greater in life than
the appearance of new persons about
our hearth, except it be the progress
of the character which draws them.
MISTAKES OF WOMEN.
One of the mistakes of women is not
knowing how to eat. If a man is not
to be fed, she thinks a cup of tea and
anything handy is good enough. If
she needs to save money, she does it at
the butcher’s cost. If she is busy, she
will not waste time in eating. If sheis
unhappy, she goes without food. A
man eats if the sheriff is at the door, if
his work drives, if the undertaker fin-
terrupts; and he is right.3A woman
will choose ice cream instead of beef-
steak, and a man will not.
Another of her mistakes is in not
knowing when to rest. If she is tired,
she may sit down, but she will darn
stockings, crochet shawls, embroider
doilies. Does she not know that such
work tires? If she is exhausted, she
will write letters or figure her accounts.
She will laugh at you if you hinted that
reading or writing could fail to rest
her. All over the country women’s
hospitals flourish because women do
not know how to rest.
Another mistake on the list is their
constant worrying. Worry and hurry
are their enemies, and yet they hug
them to their bosoms. Women cross
bridges before they come to them, and
even build bridges to cross. They im-
agine misfortune and run out to meet
it,
Women are not jolly enough. They
make too serious business of life, and
laugh at its humors too seldom. Men
can stop in the midst of perplexities
and have a hearty laugh, and it keeps
them young. Women cannot, and that
is one reason why they fade so early.
There are other reasons, but we will
pass them now. Worry not only wrink-
les the face, but it wrinkles and
withers the mind. Have a hearty
laugh once in a while; it is a good an-
tiseptic and will purify the mental at-
mosphere, drive away evil imaginings,
bad temper and other ills.
Reforesting Land Spoiled for Farm-
SEER "ing Purposes. | 6548 mms
@The Secretary of Agriculture has or-
dered S. N. Spring, of the forestry serv-
ice, to go to Scottdale, Pa., to prepare a
forest planting plan for lands of the H.
C. Frick Coke Company, which recently
applied to the service for co-operation
in planting trees on lands over coal
mines, the value of which for agricul-
ture is so slight that their improve-
ment by a crop of trees is sought as a
means of revenue.
Mr. Spring was in the coke region
several weeks during the past summer.
He went over this territory, and his re-
port to the Seeretary] of Agriculture
has-resulted in the order given above.
The Frick company 8 year ago con-
ceived the idea of preparing the many
thousand acres of surface they own in
Fayette and Westmoreland counties
for agricultural and timber profit many
years hence, when the coal is all ex-
hausted from beneath it and the coke
ovens have been abandoned.

County Teachers’ Institute.
Tue Star is under obligations to
County Superintendent Seibert for a
copy of the program for the coming
County Teachers’ Institute, which will
convene in the Somerset opera house.
Nov. 27th, and close on Dec. 1st.
The program is a most interesting
one, and a very large attendance is ex-
pected.
The instructors will be State Supt. N
C. Schaeffer, Dr. W. N. Ferris, of Big
Rapids, Mich., Mrs. Mary G. Noss, of
California, Pa., and Dr. Frank 8. Fox,
of Columbus, Ohio.
The musicians hired for the occasion
are Prof. O. H. Yetter, director, of
Bloomsburg, Pa., Miss Edna WLite, cor-
netist, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Prof. W.
J. Rickaby, pianist, of Somerset, Pa.
The evening entertainments will
consist of Rev. Sam P. Jones, Hamlin
Garland, Lou J. Beauchamp, lecturers,
and Roney’s Boys Concert Company.
County Superintendent Seibert makes
the following
ANNOUNCEMENT,
We take pleasure in announcing the
forty-ninth annual session of the Somer-
set County Teachers’ Institute, which
will be held in the Opera House at
Somerset, November 37th, to December
1st, 1805.
The purposelof the institute is to help
the teacher. We, however, extend a
cordial invitation to all friends of pop-
ular education to be present at this
meeting. It is inspiring to have so
many earnest and enthusiastic attend-
ants at our County Institute.
We are convinced that the great ma-
jority of those who attend try to re-
ceive and use, rather than criticise, the
work done at these annual conventions.
This work, in which we all have a com-
mon interest, is one of the most seri-
ous and important, avocations that can
be undertaken. The discussions which
we hear from the platform stimulate
our interest, teach us new methods and
acquaint us with the most advanced
educational ideas.
We have a program which promises
interest, inspiration and enlighten-
ment.
We believe that no teacher is willing
to show his lack of devotion to the
cause of education by absenting hime
self from the sessions of the Institute.
The teacher who would succeed must
be earnest enough to give his own best
efforts and thought to the delibera-
tions of the possibilities for good in the
schools. D. W. SEIBERT,
County Superintendent.
