Clarion county voted In favor of a poor farm at tho late elections and sev eral other counties are preparing to follow suit.

At the February election the poor farm will be a question for the voters of this county to settle. Prof. N. C. Schaeffer, state superin tendent of public instruction, in his re cent annual report to Governor Hastings said: "The greatest enemy of boyhyod is the cigarette." A learned doctor recently said, there will be more Idiots and deformed children born in the next generation than was ever born in one generation. He gives as a reason for the idiotic and deformed condition of the next generation, the cigarette habit of the boys of to-day. There are many people who are dis contented and think they would be hap py If their environments were different. Some one has said: Happiness depends on one's temperament. It is a condi tion of mind. The environment has little to do with it. To the' jaundiced, honey is bitter. "Let Rome in Tlbor mult and the wide arch of the ranged empire fall. Hero is your place." The nobleness of life is to do your duty, be as happy as you can, and try to make others happy. The Pittsburg and Lake Erie R. R. has issuod an order restraining their employees from entering a place where drink is sold, while, either on or off duty. This may seem an interference with the rights of the individual, but if anyone was in a wreck caused by a drunken en gineer, conductor, or other employe, they would feel that the traveling pub lio and the sober employes of a railroad bad rights that were of vastly more im portance than the right of an individ ual to take a drink. Wben It is remem bered how the lives of the patrons and employes are at tho mercy of a single individual, and how a single drink too much might befuddle the brain of an en gineer or conductor so that ordors might be misunderstood or forgotten, with fearful loss of life and property as a result, the right thinking publio will say a hearty amen to every rulo and regulation tending to the prevention of such disaster. Freeport Journal. The railroad companies are becoming very strict about employees using Intoxicat ing drinks. Some good railroad men have reoently lost their Jobs in this sec tion becuuse they became intoxicated while off duty. The Chicago Hecnrd says; "The Phil ippine girls are Interesting, but only a few are pretty. They are extremely graceful, as straight as an arrow and always picturesque. A girl becomes a young woman at 12 or 13, a mother about three years later and a grand mother at 8i, but even at the advanoed age of 50 she is still supple and graceful and ploturesque. Those who were at the World's Fair In Chicago may re member the beautiful Samoan girls In the Samoan village. The type of beauty is Dearly the same, and seems to be common with all the PaciQo Islanders and the Malays. The skin Is yellow or brown, the hair straight and shiny black, the eyes soft and lustrous and the teeth white, except, where the habit of chewing the betel nut has left them red and repulsive. The women are modest to the last degree, do not know what - flirting is -and are hospitable and wom anly. The practice of smoking is gen eral, and even little girls scarcely 8 . years old may frequently be seen smok ing enormous cigars. The children go naked until they are fl or 7 years old and then craduaui into short skirts. and a little later, in about the same style of clothes as artworn by the grown Drama in Thr.
