Price to dealer is to be printed at each book. The county superinten dent in the counties where there ar cucty depositories (nearly all th conotie-) will retail the books at ttii price. The private dealer will add hi profit. 3 During the period of adoption at adopted book is sold or even off -red fo sale at a lower price anywhere in th world, that lowest price is to becom the contract price in South Carolina This was not in the old contract, but i rcquired in most States that have re oently made adoptions. Many of th books adopted in this State in 1S93 fo seven years are now sold else. here a lower prices, though we have been hel< to our contract price. By this claus, in the new contract this S:ate is a once assured of as low a rate as nos prevails anywhere else. For instance we are offered the prices lately accept ed by Tennessee and Washington ii their State adoptions. 4. Books in the cunty depositerie (soid at actual cost by the county su perintendents) are to be taken up a cost by the publishers whose books ar -ubstituted. This is a protection of th school fund which by act of the legis ;ature has been invested in books fo sale at cost. 5. Publishers pay freight and drayae on all books where as much as $2 woth is ordered at a time, and pa; such transportation charges where th orders are as small as $10 worth, if or dered by county superintendents This small limit was put because if th only books used from one publishe should be copy boobs or algebras, th dealer might have to order a small quan tity and should not be required to pa the freight. It would not be just t the publisher, however, to allow a deal er to harass him with a $5 order o which the freight might more tha equal the profit. The limit in the ol contract was $100 and many county su perintendents have been compelledt pay the freight and add a few centst the price of each book. 6. The affidavit and centract claus that the bidder is not in a trust consti tute-s a striking feature. This was sus gested by the Indiana law which ha attracted considerable attention, bu the affidavit here required goes muec further in that it icquires after th private holdings of stockholders are their belongirigs as trustees or benefi ciaries. and further binds the publishe to show his private records if the trut] of the affidavit is questioned. iMore over, the contract is void ab initioi any untrue statement enters into thi afidavit or clause. This is a practica way to fight trusts.

CHARGED BOARDER EXTRA. But the Landlady Found She Had Overreached Ilerselt Talk ing About It. They were seated together in a car of an incoming suburban train the other morning. so near to The Saun terer that he could not avoid hearing every word of their conversation. re lates the Philadelphia Inquirer. The fat womtan got on the train two sta tiOls ahead of the thin woman. "Well. Low do you du?" the latter negan, etiusively.' as soon as she had (ropped into the Seat a o:gsde of the fornmer. "Why, hw do you do? So glad to see you. Diein't know I had starttd to take boarders since I saw you last. did you?" The fat woman admitted her ig norance on that. subject. "Well, I have." continued the thin woman. "How do I like it ? Well, it has its drawbacks; lots of 'em." "Yes. I suppose it must have," as sented the fat woman. "Boarders who grumble. boarders with big appetites and all that sort of thing." "My, talking of hoarders with big appetites," rejoined the thin woman. "You ought to see the new boarder I got yesterday. A young fellow. and he seemed to have so much money I chargei him two dollars more a week than any of the other boarders. But, say, he can certainly eat. Had break fast at the house this morning. What dro you think of sending out for chops three times, hot cakes twice, and cof fee. why, he must have swallowed five cups at l'ast. Then the potatoes he ate were enough for three ordinary men. 1 never dreamed there could be so much food put inside of such a small man. Of course, it made me nervous all the time he was eating. Why- didn't I tell him he mustn't eat so much? Why, I don't want to lose him, don't you understand? I'm mak ing money off of him, all right, but goodness knows he carries off the prize for big eating. Come out and see him some time. It's worth your while. I'll guarantee you." "She'll be too late, madam," inter posed' a young fellow who, sitting one seat to the rear of the two women, had' remained unnoticed by them. "I don't believe I'll return to your house any more. It doesn't exactly suit me, anyway. The money I paid you in advance, including the two dollars overcharge, will pay you well for the trouble and expense I've put you to. Good-morning; I get off here." It was fully Eve minutes after the train pulled away from the station before the woman spoke, and all she said was: "Well, who'd a-thought it?" FRAGRANT SALTS. A Delicate and Refreshing Prepara tion That Is Easily Made. Women of to-day are not as liable to faint as their grandmothers were, be cause they dress more sensibly and do not wear as tight dresses or as tight shoes and gloves, but it is a wise and' sensible precaution to keep fragrant salts on hand, says the New York Trib une. Any salt loses Its strength in a short time. The simple lavender salts are the most desirable of all perfumed salts. -These are easily prepared at home. While you are preparing a por tion of these saltS it Is as easy to make several bottles or vinaigrettes as one, and the cost is small Procure half a dozen small, clear glass bottles, with close-cut glass stoppers if you wish. A pretty stopper costs very little, pur chased with the bottles by the half dozen, and adds considerable to the value of the vinaigrette as a gift. It Is. desirable that a vinaigrette be small, so it may be easily carried in the pocket. Vinaigrettes are often very elaborate, decorated with silver, gold and even precious stones, but a tiny bottle of clear glass with a pretty stopper Is al ways in good taste and 'as useful as a more ornate one. To prepare the salt, procure from .a trustworthy druggist half a pound of carbonate of ammonia and an ounce and a half of the best ei of lavender. Crush the two together in a mortar, or in any dish that will mix them. Set the mixture in -.large bowl, which should be put In a pan of warm water, covered and set in a mod erate oven for about an hour. Stir the mixture several times while it is heat ing. It is not necessary for the ammo nia to be crushed fine. If it is in broken lumps it lasts longer. Do not get in the foolish habit of using a vinaigrette continually. Cases of obstinate deaf ness have been ascribed to this cause. The salts are also said to 'nave an inju rious effect on the vocal chords as well as on the auditory nerves when used continually. Even the odor of flowers, notably the odor of violets, has been known to cause a singer temporarily to lose her voice. Lobster a la Newberg. Recipes for this dish have been given by the score but there is always room for another if it is good and simple, like the following: Cook together in the double boiler of a chafing dish a half- pint of cream and the yolks of three eggs, until they thicken. Put in them the meat from one large or two small lobsters and when this, is smok ing hot pour in a gill of sherry. Cook until the mixture is hot, season with a scant teaspoonful of salt and a couple of dashes of cayenne, and serve at once. For those who like it, a table spoonful of good brandy may be added. -Good Housekeeping. Not Equal to th~e Efrort. Cholly-I say, Algie, who is that vuil gah person on the othah side of the tweet?

A special from Cairo, I., says: The special car of the Duncan Clarke Fe male Minstrel troupe was wrecked at Mounds Wednesday and of 16 ooeu pnts nine are now dead and six others are seriously injiured, some of them fatally. Patrick Patterson, the only man killed, was the cook. He was huded from the car and struck the switch steao. A special train was hurried from this ity to the scene, with Dr. W. W.
