Came Out Alive
A sparrow flew into the Dickson
shops in Scran ton the other day and
getting near one of the wheels was
sucked in A workman saw it and
supposed that it was instantly killed
as the wheel was revolving at the rate
of ISO revolutions a minute When the
machinery was shut down at noon a
gentle chirp was heard from the wheel
and when one of the workmen looked
the sparrow was there alive
It had clung to the strengthening rod
inside the wheel and was so dazed it
could not fly It was picked up and
placed on a table where it recovered
in a short time and flew away The
wheel made 31000 revolutions while
the bird was clinging to it and the
sparrow had traveled a little more than
seventy three miles New York Press

Emperor Wilhelms Wealth
There are 1000 people upon the Em

looking after the twenty two royal pal
aces and castles that belong to the
crown Their wages are small The
women receive not more than 12 a
month and the men servants who num
ber over 500 from to 25 a month
Most of the palaces and castles are in
a sad state of decay The Emperor
himself seldom uses more tnan three
or four of them The rest are occupied
by his relations and dependents who
number a hundred or more and are
nearly all supported from the royal
purse His private fortune is estimated
at 25000000 the greater part of which
is represented by lauded estates He
has forty eight farms fourteen forests
eight vineyards and owns the royal por

THE COUNTRY SCHOOL
PROBLEMS WHICH TEACHERS
HAVE TO FACE
Irrejular Attendance of the Students
Lack of Proper Apparatus and the
l3idiffcrcnce Manifested by Parent
in the School and Its Working
ITard Bow to Hoe
The problems which face the teachei
of the country school are many and at
jtimes no doubt to many the possibil
ity of meeting and solving them seems
lost in the mists of the future In some
districts so much is expected of the
teacher she I say she because as a
rule the country schools are in charge
of female teachers if willing to work
can find plenty to do as others are per
fectly willing she should do all in their
power and a little more besides Among
other things with which the teacher
of the country school has more espe
cially to contend may be mentioned
the attitude of parents irregular at
tendance of pupils lack of apparatus
The attitude of parents may take dif
ferent forms On the one hand par
ents sometimes manifest utter imiffer
ence as to the school and its working
As a rule in country districts people
live at long distances from the school
house Parents send their children to
school but give them not a thought
after they have left They never think
of visiting the school and take not the
slightest interest The question is
how can we arouse in them an interest
in the school This may seem and it
generally is a long and difficult task
but patience and perseverance will ac
complish much In this case it will
be a good plan for the teacher to 7isit
the parents at their houses Perhaps
they will not be found very willing to
talk of school matters but talk to them
and make them talk Tell them of their
own children what they are doing how
they are getting along in their studies
Praise them a little this will always
touch a parents heart and perhaps
there will be a warmer feeling for the
teacher Ask them to call at the school
house At first no doubt many ex
cuses will be made but in time you will
find them taking a real interest Then
it will be much easier the children will
be provided with text books and every
thing they need
On the other hand people sometimes
take too deep an interest or of the
wrong kind They wish to rule every
thing and of course a poor young
school teacher needs some one to ad
vise her how to conduct the school She
needs an older head to direct her and
they think it their duty to tell of any
mistakes they think she makes etc
If you try to do anything for the bene
fit of the school you must consult them
With such people I would say leave
them entirely to themselves give them
to understand that you are able to at
tend to your own affairs Do not
speak unkindly or in any way hurt
their feelings but be firm listen to
their friendly advice and do as you
think right yourself
Irregular Attendance
How very trying it is we all know to
have a pupil or pupils who attend ir
regularly In the country especially
pupils are kept home for such trivial
things A little extra work to be done
one must be kept home They get be
hind their classes and a great amount
of work must be done over again by
the teacher and the pupils lose a great
deal After a time they lose their in
terest in the school and do not want tp
go You must try to make the parents
see how much more lasting benefit of
how much greater importance a boy or
girls education is to be to them in after
life than the little saved by their work
Youth is the time of storing for after
years and if the time is wasted then
regrets will fill the years to come Urge
the trustees to give prizes and clearly
impress upon the minds of the pupils
that regular attendance is the principal
thing They will be anxious to work
for prizes I often wish compulsory
attendance were the law throughout
the land It would be the very best
thing that we could have and I hope it
will not be long in coming
The West and Education
The susceptibility of Americans to
new ideas is a notable element in the
prosperity of the country The people
are willing to try anything that is new
This is specially true of the West
where the enterprising inhabitants are
always seeking short cuts to wealth
and to knowledge This adventurous
spirit often leads to superficiality but
it has also been very fruitful of new
methods of school education The
kindergarten idea was taken up and de
veloped in the West There manual
training was first tried on a large scale
with satisfactory results And it was
teachers in the West who first brought
about the introduction of literature
in the lower grades as the best means
of interesting undeveloped minds In
fact they demonstrated the truth that
it is better for the child to feed upon
ideas upon thought upon real stories
and the lives of real people and the
stimulating sentiments of all the ages
than upon the inane sentences and
jijuiu and successful efforts to be
childish of the read books Harpers

A CHILDS RECOVERY
FROM PARALYSIS ANDSIX YEARS
OF CONVULSIONS
Little Fannie Atlanta of Umatilla
Cured of a Dreadful Malady A Cure
of Unusual Reporter
Investigates
From the Lake Region Eustis Fla
For some time past the Lake Region
has been receiving reports from Uuiatilki
Fla of an almost miraculous mre that
had been effected in the case of Fannii
Adams a daughter of A 1 Adams uf
that place and last Saturday a represen
tative of this paper made a trip to Uma
tilla for the purpose of determining the
authenticity of the same
The family live a short distance from
the village where it was found that the
people were cognizant of the cure which
had been effected and were rejoicing
with the family in their new found happi
ness The father A 7 Adams is a
hard working honest fanner from East
Tennessee and the family came to Flor
ida four years ago in the hope that a
change of climate would be of benefit to
their afflicted child Much of their
earnings have gone for doctors bills
whose services proved unavailing The
representative was greeted by Mrs
Adams from whom he gained the story
of her great trial
Fannie the youngest child was born in
East Tennessee and was seven years old
on the third day of February 1ST
When ten months old she was stricken
with paralysis which affected the entire
left side This stroke of paralysis wns
followed by convulsions and from the
time little Fannie was ten mouths old
until February 1S97 there was not a
single day or a night that she did not
have spasms of the most distressing na
iure Not a single convulsion but always
three or four and sometimes as high as
ten in one day
The family was all broken down with
care and Mrs Adams states that for
one year she did not go into her kitchen
to superintend her household work All
the fingers of the right hand of the little
girl are enlarged and misshapen caused
by her biting them during the fearful suf
fering The case hauled the skill of the
best physicians and they were frank to
say that they could not determine the
cause or prescribe a remedy to aid the
afflicted child
But what a change now in that house
hold for little Fannie has recently been
released from her six years of agony
which brings the light of happiness to
the faces of the parents
In January this year Mrs Adams
who had purchased some of Dr Will
iams Pink Pills for Pale People for her
fourteen-year-old daughter determined to
try their effect upon little Fannie After
three or four doses she noted an improve
ment and then told the father what she
had done He at once went to the village
and bought another box and up to this
time six boxes have been used The first
pills Mrs Adams states were given in
January the latter part and certainly
not earlier than the fifteenth or twenti
eth and the child had her last convulsion
on February 3d nearly three months
ago Her general condition has improved
in every way and it was not a month
after the first pills were taken when she
began to walk withouLassistance
The pills were bought at the drug store
of Dr Shelton in Umatilla In answei
to the question did he to hie personal
knowledge know that the remedy had
benefited Fannie Adams as was stated
by her parents the doctor said that ho
was a regular practicing physician and
as such was loth to recommend any pro
prietary medicine but still he was remit
to do justice to all men and he did know
that Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pah
People had benefited Fannie Adams and
ulso volunteered the information that he
knew of other children in the village who
had been benefited by their use

elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves They are also a specific for
