The retailer makes his profit, the Jobber makes his profit, the manufacturer manes nis proui, anu me consumer pays lor uu these and the newspaper advertising also. What does it cost to manufacture tho powder Other manufacturers give away 25 or 30 cents worth of china, glassware, toys, hardware, books, etc., witheveiy pound of baking pow der.

IS DONE TO HOLD THE WATER LINE The Election Offlcors and Con stables Invited to a School of Baker Ballot Law Instruc tionRailway Matters. HAVE heard consid erable criticism ex pressed by tho tax payers in reference to the seemingly unnec essary exponse that the joint committee on new water works is placing upon the bor ough. They seem to be possessed of the idea that they were selected for the sole purpose of creating extra burdens upon the property owners. I noticed a gentleman reading a small circular containing the call for the special election, and ho asked me tho question, "Does the law require that nolico to bo published in tho papers, in handbill form and also in circular form?" V I told him I did not think it was neces sary, but that it requires a certain amount of "tho stuff" to keep certain parties In line, and that perhaps that accounts for the circulars being issued. . School days are over. Will the future bo productive of good or evil? These are thoughts suggested to the minds of those who. witnessed tho four teenth commencement exercises of tho Shenandoah schools last woek. If we judge by tho training the youthful mind received at tho hands of our efficient corps of teachers, there Is little room to doubt but that tho future may be productive of much good, both to the Individuals and the country at large. We are told that the early training carves tho future man. That being so, wi have at least that many more patriots within our midst, tho sentiment of Americanism that pervaded the exercises of the graduating classes being productive of much good. am glad to see our school toachcrs awaken ing to the general demand for a greater knowledge of this country's history. Keep tho good work up. Arrangements have been made for the election officers and constables of the sev oral wards to meet in the Council Chamber on Thursday ovenlng, next, at 7 o'clock, to hear an exposition of the Bikor ballot law, under the provisions of which the special election will be held on tho 14th inst. The Reading system has established a foreign freight department, which will be under tho supervision of F. W. Fowkes, who has appointed T. J. Davica his local deputy.

He will havo full charge of all the engineers and firomen on tho division, and it will bo bis duty to Inspect all the engines and soo that they are In good condition and do their work properly. Charlos Price succeeds Mr. McMullen as engineer of No. 64. V Under tho new rules of the Heading system all conductors and baggage masters are each requirod to file a bond In the sum of 250 and upwards, as the case may require, for the faithful performance of duty.

The following was the intorosting seloc- tion contributed at the Higo School Junior Class exorcisos held in Ferguson' theatre Friday aftornoon by Miss Alice Leho: Beautiful skies of tenderest blue With mysty veil looks softly down, On forests draped In brightest hue, Of crimson gold and russet brown. Here autumn, with golden store, Itewnrds tho tollers In her tlelds Tho barns and cribs are Mowing o'er with weuua, A blessed harvest yields. Tho farmer's life is full of toll, Hut, then, sweet thought for him ho's free; No grinding goad In life s turmoil, No serf nor slave a King Is he; Lord of the soil and grassy sod. He cares not for small tyrant s nod; No trade ring makes him cringe or quake, Praise God lor your sweet freedom's sake.

While tho thoughtless will sit by their cosy tire, Nor dream of the dangers and hardship's dire, Of those who delve in the earth bowels deep, Who risk their lives while others sleep; Who breathe the deadly, murderous damp, While a fall of rock inav quench life and lamp.

On Sunday evening the pastor of tho Methodist Episcopal church delivered a discourse on our public schools. The text was, "Tho fear of tho Lord is tho be ginning of wisdom; and tho knowledge of the holy is understanding," Prov. IX-10. The work of the church is closely related to that of the school. All civilization worthy tho name has been the joint product ot both, The forms of religion have fre quently existed without schools, but de cency and morality hava usually been at a low ebb. Mexico may be taken as an ex ample of the degradation and superstitlcn that results from a form of religion that lightly esteems the common school. Shenandoah is to be congratulated upon the excellence of her public schools, and the work that is being done in them by those true benefactors of the rising gene ration, the school teachers. The commence ment exercises tho other day show that with such ideas instilled into the minds of the young our institutions will be safe. When we remember that our population is Buch a mixed one it will appear that our schools are no small compliment to the in telligence of the citizens who boar the burden of their support. The showing is a still better one when we look at the educational work of tho state and nation. According to the lato census there aro over twelve and a half millions ot pupils enrolled in our public schools. The peicentage of increase from 1880 to 1890 was 20.64. But as the popula tion increased during the same time 24.80 per cent., the net increase of enrolled pupils was only !.C8 per cent. And when we remember that nearly ten millions of our population, over ten years of age, can not read, and that about one million ot those are voters and are the carrion upon which our political vultures feed, it will at onco appear bow closely the interests of the slate are bound up with thoso of her common schools. It is startling to learn that in many of our most prosperous states the population is growing out of all proportion to the at tendance of children upon our schools. And but for the rapid strides being mado by tho soutborn states tho showing would be a poor one. In five southern statei ' selected at random the average increase of population the past decade was 20 per cent., and tho average gain in school atten dance was C3 per cent. In fivo middle and western states selected in the same way the average increase of population was 18 per cent., but tho averago gain to the schools was only 3 per cent. And our own stato makes the worst show ing of all; the population increasing 21 per cent, faster than tho attendance at school. This is doubtloss owing to the enormous immigration of races that are not only alion by birth but also alien in sympathy to our institutions. We must either Americanize them or thoy will foreigniza us. This can be done in no way so effec tively as by the public schools. These will Americanire their children and tho cbildren will Americanize tho parents. They are at present inaccessible to our ovangolizing agencies by reason of their language, and in removing this obstacle the school becomes tbo handmaid of tho church. It ought, however, never to be forgotten that mere oducation cannot make men bettor. You cannot educate the devil out of men or women eithor. Educate a knavo or a fool and the product will bo an educa ted knave or fool, Tho education will simply multiply his power for evil. Knowledge is ono thing, and wisdom n another. Tboro is no wisdom without knowledge but there is plenty of knowl edge without wisdom; and we are told In the word of God that, "Tho foar of tho Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding." Wisdom is tho principal thing; therefore, get wisdom, and with all thy getting, got understanding.
