The School Appropriation. Prof. 11. 11. Tolti'lek, County Superin tendent of schools, Iihs Issued the fol lowing address, which Is well worth heeding by our (.clionl directors gen erally: "The bred on which the state appro priation for our public schools was di vided among the reboot districts, was changed at the last, legislature. Tho change made was greatly to the advan tage of the country districts, reducing the sum paid to thu cities and largo towns, und increasing the payments to the townships and sparsely (Hipulated districts In most cases. Under the new law our county gets 54,387.1. Under tho old law wn got 118.835.02, giving us an Increase under tho new law of 1(15,551. 80. But under this new law Brookvillo, Punxsiitawney, Ileynoldsvlllo, Young, and Worthville districts lose t2.320.7t, which goes to the country districts, outside of Young, so Hint their gain is really $7,882.70, or a fraction over 20 per cent. This cliunge In the law was madu to help country districts, tbut they might bo able to pay their teachers better wages, and In some cases that they might lengthen the school term. With the large help received from tho statu every country district ought to pay its teachers lit least .'I0 a month, and most of them from 15 to $40 a month. And some of them ought to In crease tho school term to seven months. If this additional school money Is not used by the rural districts to increase tho pay of their teachers at least, and in some cases to lengthen the school term, there Is great danger that tho state appropriation will be decreased In coming years. The state will not con tinue to give such largo sums to school districts if tho directors of these dis tricts use It merely to decrease their school taxes. Lot directors look this matter squarely in the facte, and act wisely. The Increased amount given this year to the country districts will enable them to Increase tho wages of their teachers from 95 to f 10 a month without adding anything to their tax burden, save In one or two townships. The cities and towns, which sulfur nearly all tho loss under this new sys tem of distribution, are tho ones that have paid tho highest wages to teachers uniformly, and have mude most sacri fices for their schools. Now, let tho country districts, which are gaining so largely In tho state appropriation, use the increased amount of money they ure receiving in tho same way. Paradise.

Good health has more to do with good looks than anything else.

Workril tri Wrou Mr. DiNiley, n Mobile ship enrpetiter, relates mi amusing Incident connected with tho Idoeltndo of Mobile hnrbordnr- . lug the civil war. Some ship carpenters had been put to work by tho govern- ' incut to mimiifiiettiro floating mines and had taken n tiinnlier of heavy pieces of squuro tlmlM-r and placed them In the form of a triangle, three pieces lieing ttsed to each. At the end of rank of the sticks that Is, ou the three pi, dirt, wrm placed n torpedo. A few days after this the wind came ont strong froin the north, and the torpedoes wero taken and plnocd in position in the hay so that they wonld 1st driven by the wind against tho United States gunboats. The plan was apparently to be suc cessful, the torpedoes being driven rap idly lu tho direction of the enemy's gnn boiits, and great damage might have re united to Uncle Sam's ships had not the wind suddenly changed, and the torpe does were brtmght back and carried in a bnneh to tho bay opposite FmscatL Here tho torpedo mines met in an eddy, and there was suddenly a groat explo sion, followed by another, aud yot an other, completely tearing tho rafts to pieces and producing nt tho samn time a pittiio among the pnnplo resioent on tho shore, who went to Mobile city and reported that the enemy was bombard ing Frnsoatl. Now Orleans Times Dcmocrat Tlm Naval ( sptnln In flattla. Writing of tho perils of naval warfare, Park Benjamin in The Independent says: NolKsly now believes that a captain who finds ills vision through the slits of the conning tower cot off by smoke will stay thus shut np. ' It is extremely donbtfnl If it will iio physically possiblo fur hint to remain there after the shells commence to hammer its sides and burst against it, and in any event tlio intense anxiety to see and know cloarly what the enemy is doing will inevitably lead him to take his chances in the open. Conning tower or no conning tower, his duty is to place himself at whatever point ho can manage his ships to tho best ndvantngn, and this ho will cer tainly da Lord Charles Beresford, with grim humor, has suggested that tho captain's safest place is not in but be hind his conning tower, "becanso then he has two thicknesses of steel between himself and the enemy, don't yon see?" But -while conning tower armor may re sist penetration it is by no means cer tain that tho wholo structure will not bo swept away by tho first heavy pro jectile which squarely hits it Klootrlo Propalnlon of Ship. Up to tlio present felootricity has scarcely been thought snitulilo as tho prinoiiwl motive or propelling power fur the larger typoof vessels. This is undoubtedly owing to tho fact that for a given horsepower a triplo or quudrnplo expansion steam engino wonld take np less space and probably weigh less than an electrical installation of eqniil power. Storage batteries are out of tho question for such nses, although persons not well up in electrical subjects frequently won-, der why our ocean greyhounds are not propelled 4y some such method. It may ', interest some of onr readers to know that a vessol requiring an averago of 10,000 horsepower to propel it across , tho Atlantic, and displacing 8,000 tons, would be obliged to carry, were storage batteries alone made use of, 824,480, 000 pounds of such batteries, or, in other words, the motive power alone would weigh 163,240 tons, or 80 times , as much as tho ship.

A teetotal lecturer at West Bromwicb, in order to illustrate the horrors of drinking, told bis audience a story of a wooden legged toper who was so drunk one night that he took off his wooden leg to wind tho clock. The story was told in all simplicity by the lecturer as he had heard it in his childhood. ' Strange to say, it applied exactly to the husband of a lady who happened to be ono of the audience. After the lecture the lady waited on the lecturer behind the hall. "Wrotch!' sho said. "How dare you hold my husband to public ridiculo?" "Bat, my dear madam" "Now don't deny it, for I heard yon.
