Sljns of n sovoro, lnnjr winter worn unusually plentiful novcrnl months affo and tho prophet had a grent inning with predictions of heavy snows and hard fronts. Where, hns tht winter gone to? Tho problem of how to treat wife beaters hns been solved in Germany in a far wiser way than in must other countries, for there the brutal husband must work all through tho week, then turn over his wages to his wifo on pay day, and go to jail Saturday night and Sunday. This would lie a good way to treat the savage wlfo-beaters of lleyn oldsvllle. Col. R. H. Thomas, of the Farmers' Friend, who has been sec. and treas. of the Pennsylvania StBte Kdltorlal Asso ciation for a number of years, at a recent meeting of the National Kdltorlal Association held In Florida, was elected President of that Association. Col. Thomas can fill the position in a creditable manner. We congratulate our worthy secretary. It is said that a man who won't take a paper because he can borrow one, has invented a machine on which he can cook his dinner by the smoke from his neigh bor's chimney. The same fellow sits in the back pew in church to save Interest on his contribution and by the time the basket gets to him he is so much interested in the "collection ploce" the choir is singing ho forgets to give his contribution. Here is what an exchungo says about a cigarette facts which any amount of young men and boys about Reynolds villa can reflect over, with advantage to themselves: It is a little roll of paper, tobacco and drugs with a small fire at ono end and a largo fool at the. other end. Some of its chief enjoyments are condensed nightmare, cancer of the Hps and stomach, spinal meningitis, softening of the brain, funeral proces sions and families shrouded in gloom. There are plenty of subjects loft how ever, who are perfectly willing to un dergo the trials of such a nature for the sake of putting on a certain amount of style. Important legislation, relative to tho public schools, to be presented to the next Legislature for adoption, is already being formulated by tho recently organ ized State Association of School Direc tors. One of tho schemes proposed is an act that will provide for the aban donment of the common county school houses and the centralization of the schools into two or three bnlldlngs in each township. These buildings are to have various schoolrooms, and the schools will be graded from primary to grammar, as is done in cities and towns. Pupils who live at a distance from these central schools will be transported at the expense of the school district to and from schools in the most availubly con veyances. In Chester county, where . the plan is being triod, scholars aro hauled in a large and comfortably-fitted omnibus, which is owned by the district and is driven by a driver, who receives $40 per month. It is claimed that this plun results lu a financial saving, in tho existence of better school buildings and schools provided with the best appara tus, while the system of grading the schools gives additional advantages. 'As far as woman's sphere is concern ed," say Rev. Phoebe A. Hanaford in Demurest' ' Mayatine for February, "I believe that she should do that thing in life which she can do best. Any God-given talent should be cultivated and made the most of; and in addition to this she should get as much general knowledge and culture as she can. It . will help her in many ways; it will help ber husband and children if she is furtunate enough to have them. But more important than talent' and edu cation is conscientiousness. If a person, man or woman, is without it, knowledge is a weapon for evil Id his or her hands. I do not believe in giving those in whose character there is basic weakness the advantages of learning, for they only misuse these advantages. Woman's influence is very great in the world, and it is absolutely essential to the welfare of society that she should have conscience, a high ideal of right, And an earnest desire to live up to it. Let a woman fail In this, and abe falls in nearly everything worthy of her womanhood; lot ber have a clear per ception of right and wrong, and the riral strength to K accordingly, and t' j Ss'most oerUln t posses all the f 1, c ' ' 'i ;"".' of m Geography Recreation. A few days ago one of Reynoldsvllle's good housewives wits out shopping. Imagine the following to concern her, ami those whom she met. She first went to lluzxaril's meat market; bought some steak, and ex amined the sausage; but refused to buy any of it because of tho Spin. She snd the clerk had an argument about the Spier. They Anally called the butcher and asked him what Sitter was in the sausage. He replied Osage I The butcher, not caring to have her leave his shop angry, requested her to remain a few minutes and see a Hurt between a Pigeon and a Siran. After that event she walked out and met Murray, the doctor. Of course she told him what sho had witnessed. Doctor had been out driving and felt a little Ciifr: but said he, "I saw something this morning that beats that; while driving past a farm house I saw a boy trying to make a dead Turkestan.'' Just then a small boy eating a Santhnrh attempted to Unhi. The lady luughed so heartily that sho dii)pcd a niekle through a crack In the walk. Doctor asked tho lxy to get it for her. The boy being in a hurry to go out to Coast replied: "It Malay there for anything I care." Tho lady, remembering her promise to her children, bought an Orange for one, and a Chestnut for the other, and hurried home where she found her Darling boys trying to Mark their faces, as they wished to look like a Xegro whom they bad seen during the Jlnllidays. The doctor walked a few Bteps down street, when he heard someone say Look out! and turning to the right he saw a closed carriage drawn by two White horses: he stopped to lot It pass; when Just before him the car riage gave a Little Jioek and doctor saw the face of Ex-Governor Hearer on his way to (Which; doctor went to his offlco and found thereayoungmanwlth afelon; after warming up a little he proceeded to relieve the poor fellow and was just Lansing the felon when tho young man fainted. Doctor revived him; and, as the sufferer had walked In from tho country, doctor told hi in ho would take him home If ho would wait a few minutes. Tho young man walled, and doctor ordered his horse and buggy, and took his patient home. Tho young man said to his sister: "You May think this is Flattery but doctor has done me a Superior kindness. Doctor returned homo convinced that tho scarcity of .Siioic made Wheeling better than sleighing, except on tho paved stroet. Tho above recreation In geography has been arranged by A. J. Postlewalt with tho hope that It may Interest and benefit the children of the primary and intermediate grades. We promised last week to publish tho names this week of the first twenty five pupils of the intermediate and pri mary departments of the public schools who filled In correctly all the names in the "recreation In geography" article. Quito a number of pupils mado an effort to got their names In Thk Stak but only twenty-one were successf ul. Five or six were within one of being correct. Two or three pupils loft one letter off of a river and two pupils added too many letters to another river. Follow ing is a list of those who were correct: Charlie Hirst, Unltau M. Farrell, Clara Goisler, Irven Rea, T. M. Rea, Eugene Cochran, Virgie Evans, Etta Shaffor, Morril Johnston, Lena Black, Zoo Woodward, Willie Philips, Nulu Neale, Cora Shaffer, Hattlo Hartman, , Lena Irving, Althea Sutter, John Doane, Ray Sechrist, John M.Coleman, Maggie Robertson.
