Superintendent’s Notes. We wish to thank all those who assisted in any way to make the teachers’ meeting a success.

We hope to make quite an extended report of the meeting during the next month or two, througli the papers. Seven hundred teachers took the examination in January. Six hundred and thirty-three is the whole number having taken it during the three pro ceeding months. Miss Abbie Keefe of Atkinson made a grade of 100 per cent in mental arithmetic at the January examina tion.

Sheep values advanced to within 10 to 15 cents of the high point again last week, but liberal receipts so far this week have brought another break of 20 to 35 cents, the half fat kind suffering the most. Common Colds are the Cause of Many Serious Diseases. Physicians who have gained a na tional reputation as analysts of the cause of various diseases, claim that if catching cold could be avoided a long list of dangerous ailments would never be heard of. Every one knows that pneumonia and consumption ori ginate from a cold, and chronic ca tarrh, bronchitis, and all throat and lung trouble are aggravated and repd ered more serious by each fresh attack. Do not risk your life or take chances when you have a cold. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy will cure it before these diseases develop. This remedy contains no opium, morphine or other harmful drug and has thirty years of reputation back of it, gained by its cures under every cohdition. For sale by P. C. Corrigan.

Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott’s Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT’S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long lime. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. €J We will send you a sample free.

From an account .of the Doncaster (England) Art club’s annual exhibition In the Doncaster Gazette: "Miss - also goes in for portraiture. In hitting off her father’s head her Intentions are good, but the execution lacks very much In artistic finish.” In the London Mali’s description of a parade In honor of the king of the Hel lenes the reporter said: “The soldiers, clad only In their scarlet tunics, pre sented an unpleasant contrast with the warmly clad members of the police force.” From the windows of a British tailor: "We have cleared a Scotch merchant's remains of high class overcoatings at a big reduction.” Not a Born Forgrer. The Indorsement of checks Is a very simple thing, but, as the following story will show. It, too, has its difficulties: A woman went into a bank where she had several times presented checks drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This time the check was made to the order of Mrs. M. J. Smith—M. J. were her husband’s Initials. She explained this to the paying teller and asked what she should do. “Oh, that is all right,” he said. “Just Indorse It as it Is written there.” She took the check and, after much hesitation, said, “I don’t think I can make an M like that” Hair. Animal hair differs In construction from that grown on a human head. In human hair the upper skin Is smooth and thin. The circular section Is com paratively broad, forming the main part of the hair shaft It Is striped in appearance and carries the color mat ter. The tubular part Is thin, extend ing to about one-fifth and certainly not more than to one-quarter of the entire width of the hair. Animal hair also consists of three parts, but these are differently constructed, the tube often filling the entire hair. The Frontier Six Months fm 75c FORETHOUGHT OF A BOY Young Hereo in Valley County Acts At Right Time. PREVENTS WRECK ON THE U. P. Discovers a Broken Rail and Flags Passenger Train With a Gunny Sack. j Ord Quiz: A case of boy heroism of ! more than usual mangnitude comes | to the notice of the writer this week. I When the Union Pacific freight was making its return trip to the Island last Monday evening it knock ed several inches from a rail at a point a couple of miles this side of Elba. Oscar Hudson, a twelve-year old boy, passing along the track after the train had passed discovered the break and realized that there would be something doing when the passen ger went down in the morning if the break was not repaired or the proper persons warned of the rail’s broken condition. Tuesday morning, it will be remembered, there was some thing of a blizzard going on but the youngster still had in mind the brok en rail and with a piece of gunnysack he started down the track to flag the train. The keen eyes of Engineer Rollins soon spotted a boy frantically waving a sack and the time was still shorter than it took him to make up his mind that the boy meant business and no mistake. The engine was re versed and the train crew went for ward to repair the break when it was discovered that it was of such a nature that had it not been discovered the engine, at least, and probably part of the train ditched. During the repair ing of the broken rail the little fellow, although blue and shivering with cold, insisted on helping repair the break and seeing the train properly started on its way again.

Girls who are fond of earrings may perhaps be interested in hearing a few facts about them. Sad it is for the emancipated woman of the present day to learn that these fashionable or naments were originally a mark of slavery. In bygone days the slave al ways wore his master’s earrings. In the east they were a sign of caste and were buried with the dead. Some an cient earrings were very elaborate, and many statues had their ears bored in readiness for votive offerings of ear rings. In England the earliest earrings were very cumbrous and made of ■tone or wood. The eighteenth century saw the glorification of file earring, fashionable beauties outvying each oth er with the rarest and moat beautiful Jewels.—London Graphic. ▲ New Application of Scripture. There was rejoicing in the village at the killing of a pig. Being dead, It was cut up. A neighbor’s cat stole se cretly into the larder and annexed a piece of pork, which she brought In triumph to her mistress. Next day the clergyman of the parish visited the old woman, who recounted to him the re markable sagacity of the beast. "It was quite beautiful, sir,” she said piously, “to see the way the aweet creature brought me the piece of pork. It brought to my mind what we read in the Bible about Elijah nnd the ravens.” Not lulls, Not Believing. There was a man In Nottinghamshire who discontinued the donation he had regularly made for a time to a mis sionary society. When asked as to his reasons he replied: "Well, I've traveled a bit In my time. I’ve been as far as Sleaford, In Lincolnshire, and I never saw a black man, and I don’t believe there are any."—London Standard. The Physical. The morality of clean blood ought to be one of the first lessons taught us by our pastors and teachers.
