The Illustrations In the March magazine are notably handnotne, and almost without exception every page Is Illustrated. The stories are xculont and the articles are timely and interesting. All the various de partments, for which Demorest's Is noted, are full of valuable information. Three short weeks until the inaugura tion of Major McKlnley and as the time draws nigh the pressure on the Sena tors and Representatives by their con stituents for offices, especially Presiden tial postofflces, Is not lessened. Repre sentative E. E. Rohblns, of this district, will have to deal with quito a number of applicants for the four counties, Jef ferson, Armstrong, Westmoreland and Indiana, that compose the Twenty-first district. Jefferson county has four Presidential postofflces, as follows, with salary and time of expiration of present postmasters: Reynoldsvillo, $1,500, Mnroh 2, Brookvtllo, $1,000, .Tan wary 7, 1890; Punxsutawnoy, $1,700, February 1(1, 1808; Brockwayvlllo, $1,000, January 7, 181)9. The destruction of the State Capitol building at Hurrlsburg last week in volves a considerable money loss, which Is always deplorable. A newcapltol far surpassing the burned structure In cost and elegance of appointment will assur edly be built. What will most bo re gretted are the losses which money cannot repair. For the past 75 years the building has served the purpose of Its construction, and Pennsylvania entertained a positive pride in its simplicity as compared with the costly Capitols of neighboring States). With the building have jierlshed invaluable records that cannot be replaced, and memories of men and evonts that do not outlast the mute witness of the walls that are an essential part of their history. The extent of irreparable loss can only be surmised. It will never be fully known. Surely after the pointed romurks made by Dr. Nourse last Friday night the ladies of Reynoldsville will remove their hats while in attendance at a lecture, or any public gathering here after. Quite a large numbor of ladies sit with unoovored heads during the entire lecture Friday night, but there were a few big hats that were not removed, much to the annoyance of those who sit behind such obstructions. We are proud of our new Assombly Ball and the good looking, intelligent and well behaved audiences that have been attending the lecture course, and about the only thing that is lacking .to make it an Ideal audience is for all the ladies to sit with uncovered heads., The Stab has been advocating this for -sometime and we are ploused to see that many of the ludios are taking kindly to it and doff their hats. The bill introduced in the house at HarriBburg by Mr. Smith of Jofforson tf, ' 9 W KV " the taxes assessed against foreigners, is good scheme that ought to become a taw. No class of ieople make so much expense for tho state or local govern ments as the foreigners who work about the mines and big plants of various kinds where unskilled labor is prominent factor. Tbey get into tba police courts, into jail, into all sorts of scrapes that entail oosts, they have to t taken care of when times are hard. their ouildren mut be sent to school, nd in one way or another they add 'wi vsvia nurj publio burden. Now it is all right for these people to share in the advantages of the schools for their children, aud in the rewards of the court when tbey have been cutting each other to pieces at a christening or a wedding. But they should pay their share of the ex penses involved. In the rural districts, where the most of them are employed, they are abosud and a tax charged against them. But they put off tho collector or deny their idontity, or hutch up some other pretext to save their money for boor and escape the tax collector until the amouut collected from thom is hardly worth going after. Mr. Smith's bill would make It the business of the employers of alien labor t yry the taxes for them, and take the ii. nf. nit if , V. i. ...., i ,t...

Played liedde Its sparkling waters, t'anred nlona It meadows preen, Where the busy world we dwell In And lis noles only seem Like the erho of a tempent tr the shallow of a dreamt And It prowa not old forever, Cwcrl and young It I to-iMiy 'Tin the Land of Utile People, Where the happy children play. And the thing they know and see there Are so wonderful nnd annul. Tli Inn that wter folks and older t'nnnot know or understand.

Once 'twas ours! 'tis ours no longer, For when mirerv time I o'er Throtiuh the Land of Little People We may never wander more. But we hear their merry voices And we see them at their play, Then our ow n duck world irrow brighter And we seem as young lis they, Roaming over shore and meadow, Talking to the birds and flowers For the land of Little People la a fairer world than ours." Hoys nnd girls, you have left to you bow but eleven short weeks In which to prepare for the final examination and promotion. Will you bo ready for It when the time arrives? or will you feel like kicking yourself beuuuse you did not Improve your time as you ought? Are not some of you wasting nnd frit tering away a good deal of the precious time allotted to school duties? I am afraid you are. Aren't the majority of you old enough to know that you havn't a moment to lose, and that you should lay aside all this giddiness and put your mind on your work? You'll be sorry for It if you do not. Your "uncle" speaks from experience nnd knows just what he is tulking about. Just time yourself and take particular notice of your conduct for one-half day and you will be both surprised and mortified, if you have a spark of shame about you, when you know tho result and see for yourself the amount of time you have foolishly wasted In just three hours, and then reflect upon how much you could have learned and stored up during that lost time, which is gone, never to return. You all desire to be promoted in the spring nnd to see your names so Inscribed in the catalogue, don't you? Well, it rests entirely with you whether you will be or not. Your teachers are doing their part nobly and if you do not do yours you alone are to blame, and bitterly you will regret it in after life. Then, boys and girls, from this time on bo up and doing and firmly resolve to make up and atone in thecomingoloven weeks for tho time wttsted In tho post twenty and success will attend you and victory be yours. BUIEF THOUGHTS. Tlmo wasted is existence used In life. Fanatics nro earnest men iu a minor ity. A tender conscience is a stronger ob ligation than a prison. As you learn, tench: as you get, give; as you receive, distribute. The great secret of success in lifo is for a man to be ready when the oppor tunity comes. Tho nobleness of life depends on its consistency, clearness of purposo, qulot and ceaseless energy. Nothing is ever done beautifully that is done in rlvalship. As the law dissolves all contracts without a valuable consideration, so a valuablo consideration often dissolves the law. Oh, what a glory doth this world put on for him, who, with a fervent heart, goes forth under the bright and glorious Bky. Such as thy words are, such will thy affections be esteemed, and such will thy deeds, as thy affcottons; and suoh thy life, as thy deeds. Strive for gold, not to take but to give. Bo kind and faithful to all men; most faithful, however to thyself, thy honor and thy country. Everyone who follows his or hor own chosen employment faithfully and dili gently, is to that extent one of tbe world's true aud continuous givers. One secret act of self-don iul, one sac rifice of inclination to duty, is wortb all the more good thoughts, warm feeling, passionate prayers in which Idle people indulge themselves. A countryman is as warm in fustian as a king In velvet; and a truth is as comfortable in a homely language as in fine speech. As to the way of dishing up the meat, hungry men leave that to the cook; only let the meat be sweet and substantial. , SCHOOL NOTES.

A girl who can claw the piano and agitate the atmosphere promiscuously may be a fino parlor ornament, but the damsel who can grease the griddle and flip flap-jacks two at time is the piece of furniture in tho most domund and the fomule to tie to.
