HELP THE Ti ACHEK, ; HOME ADVICE TO PARENTB OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. "Which, if Followed, Will Help to Make Fchool Work Eaeier for All, We demand, says the New York American, on behalf of the tohool ohildren and the school teaohere of to-day, that mothers and fathers cooperate willingly and Intelligently in the work that the school teachers have to do. There is much talk, in homes, of the sohool teachers' short-comings. There Is far too muoh readiness to listen to the stories of children excusing their own poor work with oritiolsm of teachers. The matter is most serious. The teacher cannot possibly do his best work and give the best results unless the parents co-operate with him Intelligently. Let us oonslder what the duty of parents is, and what the teachers have & right to expect. Fathers and mothers know what an atrcolous th.ng a spoiled child is. You pity the father and mother that must control one spoiled child. Don't fail to pity the school teacher who is expected to control, by kindness and intelligence delusively, a dcz.n or more Bpolled ohildren. The first thing for you fathers and mothers Is to see to it that you do not Fend spoiled children to the schools Remember that the most Intelligent, conbcientious, devoted teacher can see all of his work made useless by overpettlng of a ohild or foolish severity with a child. Vq theVQ A VI rl VmA^UaVA I *r% A maamIam ?. nvu?io auvi u.uiiicio 111 aiiifjnuo demand, properly, that a teacher shall not strike a child. They should send to the teacher children that do not require blows. Fathers and mothers demand that In school their ohlldren shall be controlled by moral persuatlon, appeals to their better nature by Intelligence. Let them send to the teachers children that are accustomed to be controlled In that manner. Realize that the father is a teacher's partner In education, and that the mother Is the teacher's ally. How Impossible it is In a family to bring up the children properly if the father adopts one method and the mother another. Ilow many ohlldren are required by contradictory orders from father and mother. Think what a task you put before the teachers, when you expect them to control so many children who at home are too often directed In opposition to a teacher's wishes and even encouraged to disobey the teach er. We emphasize this point: Control your children by kindness and Intelligence. You have no right to send I 4- II- J - vuuuiDii ubiiarwiuu uonorunen to tno public sohools. If you say, "1 have a boy that I o&n only control by whipping him, or "I have a girl that must be whipped once In & while." IIow have you a right to say, "I will not i allow a teacher to touoh my ohild?" If you cannot control one child without brutality, how can you expect a pi b lo school teacher to control forty or fifty children by kindness? Remember that we do not excuse under any circumstances the brutal treatment of a child by a teacher. Every human being has the same rights In this world. It Is an outrage according to our law for a man to strike another equal to him In strength. It Is an Infinitely greater outrage for any human being to wilfully stlke a weak child that Is defenseless. This newspsper, with pleasure, will always share In the prosecution of any teacher or of any human being guilty of wilfully striking a helpless child if effective prosecution can possibly be brought about. But we do tell parents they should be frank with themselves, and honest to the teaohers. It Is a disgrace to send to the pub jig i-cnooi cnuaren mat rave bean made the victims of blows and brutality at home and expect the teacher to do the hardest of all work, the instilling of education, without recourse to the only kind of persuasion that the child la eocuBtomed to cbey. Nowhere in the world is paternal love more highly developed than in America. Nowhere are greater saoritioes made for the ooming generation. The sight of a father working himself to death for the sake of his family in so common In the United States that it excites no comment. The mother slaving day in and day out tl at her daughters m ay have what she could not have, that her sons may have for their education the money that she ought to spend on herself, 1b the rule, not the excention. But too iDdulgenfc or mistaken i flection ruins the child. Never encourage a child to speak disrespectfully of a teacher. Never encourage a child to put blame upon a teioher. There are def? ctive teachers, of course. And it does happen that the ohild may bring to its father or m >ther truthful tales of shorlocm logs on the teacher's part. Investigate these things if you will. But Investigate them for yourselves, remembering the tendency of childhood to exaggeration. Don't he made foe llsh by the fact that It Is ytur own child that talks. Find out for yourself, without encouraging the child to disobedience) by listening too etgerly to its story. ; Then, If you find that your child has tpoken absolutely truthfully, take auch steps as you may please. Don't laugh at your child when It < tells of tht "amart things" thai It does at school to bother the teacher or to bother other pupils. Never try to it fluenoe the ohlld against the teacher under ary conditions. You hurt your own child Infinitely more than you hurt the teach er when you enooursge the ohlld to rebel against necessary discipline. Remember that the work of school teachers in the DOblest and the hardest work in the world. Remember that it is infinitely the most impor tart, work in this world, i You ask of the teacher a devotion that oan only be given as a result of the highest possible moral oharaoter. Instinct oompels us to make great sacrifices to the ohildren of cur body. Nature attends to tbat, the human race would die without it. The school teaoher Is not the father or the mother of the children sitting on the benohes. Yot we a*k of the teacher a devotion greater tbao that of any other public servant. We demand tbat he give every ounce of his ability, of bis intercut, to ohildren that will not thank him whose success he will not live to see or share, exhausting his vitality in return for extremely poor pay. Fathers and mothers, be conscientious partners cf the teachers. For your ohildien's sake especially, and for the teaoher's sake as well, put yourself In the teacher's pl?co. Impress upon your child the great, noble work that the teacher does. Till the child bow cfoen it has happened that men successful in this world have owed their suooess entirely to their school teachers.

ADVANTAGE OF BKINO A LIVEAT-HOME FAHMEH. 411 Other People Bave to Tat Tood that Contains Poisonous Matter. e Arguments for preferring farm life to all others are r<oeivlng additional impetus in these piping days of investigation and exposure. The oharms of rural life, always a favorite theme of the poets, have been so added to on the practical side by modern invention that all hands were about to agree that there was no txlstence to be compared to that on "a little farm, well tilled," located near a trolley line, strung with telephone wires and in touch with the rural free delivery, but if any doubt lingered it has been dispelled by the advocates of the pure food bills and the muck-rakers who stuck their forks into the mysteries of the packing yards. The farmer seems to be the only man that is safe in these days of miasmatic mixi.ures and devilish adulterations. The only way to be sure of >our meat is bo raise it yourself, do all the feeding, the killing, the skinning and tlio cooking. Yv u must not take your eye off the animal at any stage of the prooess until It has been landed in the stomach. If any middleman step? in at any conjuncture, if be Id allowed to work hlB game at any turn in the process, you are not safe. Here we were innocently and unsus piolouBly devouring the steaks and hams and sausage and souse that was set before us, undisturbed by duubt and uLrulllid by lack of confidence. We supposed things were what they seemed, but, alas, there has been a rude awakening. If an article now before us, by a Kansas City expert, is to be taken literally, It Is practically Impossible to get any pure food In this country. The butter Is covered with ooal tar dyes; the meat has more or less embalming Hold; the catsup is colored with ooal ayes and has salicylic acid in it. The lard In which the potatoes are fried probably contains portions of hogs that have died natural deaths and not been slaught ered under sanitary conditions; posal bly it died of some disease. The bread is full of alum; the lea and coffee contain oopper; the vegetables have different varieties of artificial coloring. As to pepper, we are gravely Informed, anything pure in that line Is out of the question. Either the trees nave quit growing, the berries have ceased to ripen, or the trophical people have quit ship plug to market for lack of demand.

The nice red apple on the stand is rosy because, nine times out of ten, it is painted with ooal tar dyes. At least, though, you will say, we are not to lose the cherished illusion of new potatoes. Vain hope. Old potatoes are freshened up In alum water after being soraped, and thus passed oil as the real thing, just out of the patch. The gorge rises as we proceed, and the fond ejaculation, so often uttered, that we would like once more to have a good, old-fashioned farm dinner, tnmes forth with additional emphasis. Purely the farmer himself escapes all these dangers. Oan he not be sure of his vegetables by pulling them up right in his garden and following them to the table? Can't he catch a chicken running on the grass that has uever seen a coop or head of a cold storage house, behead it, pluok it, and have mother to serve it for dinner? Can't he butcher his own beef, dress his own mutton, gather his own roasting ears, snatoh his own apples from the trees far from the maohlna tions of the middleman and proof against ma wiles or toe packers?

J., say a during a severs northeast storm which prevailed Friday along tbs coast one person was drowned and seven others had narrow escapes from death In the waves. The drowned man was Louis Slmpklns, formerly of Philadelphia He and two companions were on a fishing trip in a launch. Off Brlgantlne City they were oaught In a whirlpool oaused by crosscurrents and the storm. In trying to avoid a big wave Slmpklns lost bis balance and fell Into the sea. Despite their danger, Slmpklns' companions made a brave effort to plok him up, but before they were able to do this he sank and was drowned. As the men were about to leave the soene bis body came to the surface and they managed to dreg It into the launch. Shortly after this accident five yourg men who came here In thesloop yacht Virginia from Island Heights left the Inlet for the return trip up theoo&st. Professional yachtmen tried to persuade them not to attempt to ku 1*1 ova, uub nicy uiu nov neen cne warning and Balled away. In making a long tack toward Brlg&ntlne Batch the yacht carried on the dangerous oar outside the Inlet. The mast snap ped c ff and the boat began pounding on the sand. The captain of a large yacht saw the aocldent, but having on board a number of passengers he did not care to endanger their lives by going too near the bar. While the live men were clinging to their craft, momentarily expecting to be washed to their death, a hero in the person of John Johnson, a Swedish fisherman, went to the rescue in a frail gasoline launch. He did not falter in the face of the storm and after & hard struggle in which his little boat was tossed about by the waves, he managed to get alongside the Virginia and took the live men off. The rescued men rewarded Johnson handsomely. Later in the afternoon Tbom&s and Howard Butler, sons of Congressman Butler of Pennsylvania, were rescued from drowning by the government life Raving crew after their little boat had been overturned In a heavy sea off Longnort. Both swam to the capsized or aft hut were being carried out to sea in the strong current when their calls for help were heard by the life savors. They were much exhasted when rescued. JOftjab Va.

We know It would cause joy to run through every household In this mosquito-ridden community to know tbatthe llttlle pests can be destroyed. With the exoeptlon of the salt water variety, every species of the buzzing, bitting pest can be exterminated by Individual or local effort, with comparatively slight expense of time and money. The secret of success of Individual or communal warfare on the m( squlto lies in the scientifically proved fact that the mosquito In variably lives, buzzes and bites very near the place of its birth, unless, of course, It Is carried away by a strong wind. Therefore, In order to wage a successful war of extermination on the moequito, it is necessary only to discover the breeding place or places ?always standing or stagnant water ?and to remove them entirely either by draining and then filling in the depressions, or, If that Is impossible, or impracticable, by coating the surface of the water with kfimannn nil Right here let It be known that the search for stagnant water must be thorough, if relief from rnofquitoes is to be obtained. They breed in the most unsuspected places?in old tin cans, rain-filled hollows of trees well up from the ground, crotches of trees and hollow stumps, broken bottles, hidden by grass or topping stone walls as ornament; pitchers of the pitcher plant, closed sewers, the female entering and leaving through the perforated traps; ilower vases in which the water is not changed daily; Jars of water insulating the legs of refrigerators, roof leaders that are not properly graded. Obvious breeding places are uncovered rain water barrels, open cisterns and wells, the pits of outdoor water olo6ets, ground depressions, unused household water recc p^ acles, still water along the edges of streams, pools formed by uoderorush, pools fed by springs, water along the edges cf swamps and In the swamps, watering troughs Infrequently used, and the pools formed underneath by drippings. T ? weu# 4i.> i-4-j ? xu utiei, cue varieties or m*qulto that give the greatest troupe?barring the salt water genus?will breed anywhere in anything holding standing or stagnant water. These varieties are the oulez pungens, or inland mosquito, the most common of all the two hundred odd specie*; the stegoocyia, or yellow fever bearing moi qui to, which is found pretty generally over the south; and the anopheles, or malaria bearing mosquito, whose habitat is the greater part of America. It is the inland mosquito that generally breeds In or near a house, and owing to this trait, it is often called the house mosquito. The more cffunsive the water the more prolltic this species. This is also true of the stegomyla. The anopheles prefers to breed in small pools of unoontaminated water, but which are frequently covered with green soum. Tne edges of swamps, ground depressions and sprlngfed pools are favored branding places. So, also, are unused receptacles about & house; but, unlike the culex pungens, the anophels rarely enters a house. The best way to apply kerosene Is with a garden sprinkling pot, after the openings in the nozzle have been enlarged somewhat. One pint of oil to a water surface twenty feet in diameter is the accepted proportion. An application will suffice for about two weeks, when it Bhoul i be repealed. The method bv whioh the oil destroys the larvae (wiggles) is not tozlo, but meobanloal. A larva must come to the surface every minute or two for air. The inland larvae approaches the surface at rlgnt angles and gets Its air by sticking its tail, equipped with an air tube, above water. The anophels larva lies parallel to the water surface and secures air by putting its head above water. In whatever way a larva obtains air the oil obstructs its delicate respiratory apparatus and rapid sLffication results. An unbroken oil him will bring death to all the Urvae in a given body of water in a few hours Care should be taken to keep the oil ttlin continuous. Kerosene tends to collect around water gass logs and other foreign bodies in a pond, for ex ample. Thus spaces of water surface more or less extensive are left without an oil covering, and the breeding of mosquitoes g es on apace; the time from eggs to winged m cquito varies from twelve to twent>-tlve days, according to the species. By removing granges and all other ob atructlons from a body of water an unbroken ol1 til in can be obtained. The edges of streams, springs and ponds should also be kept o'ean, as the presence of logs and grass tends to standing water, in the shape of little pools, and In these the female b?IAV\V%*1ii *1 1' ha.- J - 1 * * ?iJupuoiB ijciikui<m bu ue posit nor eggs.

A Young Man Terribly Mangloil In Brickyard Machinery. Probably the most shocking accident that has ever ccourrod m tula city, says the Gaffaey L idger, occurred Thursday about 10 30 a. dq., with Montie Curry, a young ecu of Mr. J. 11 Curry, as a victim. As this is written his coudltion cannot ba determined, althoug it is thought to be decidedly grave. Tne facts as learned by a Ledger reporter who arrived at cue brickyard of Mr. Ourrv a short while after tne accident occurred, are about as follows: It seems that Montie was working at the drum used for culling up oars of dirt fiom the pit. It was hi* duty to mauipulate toe lever of the machine that pulled up the cars of olav. He was to do tnis when the signal?the ringing of the bell?was given. While waiting for the signal tie had apparently gone over to the other side from nia l?v*r no?r ? swiftly revolving shaft, and was playing with a small piece of old woru out Oe.fciug, which he had wrapped around the shaft, supposedly to see what effect it wouiq have or to await for it to get too hot to hold. Stray strlngs from the belting finally caught the shaft, and in turn o*ugni the boy. At every revolution of the shaft the body notouiy struck the ground bin struct a large piece of timber winch was n jar. Ilis clothes were lorn entirely jrem his body an 1 when the frightened hands reached him he was absolutely without a stitch of clothing, even his shoes being torn from his feet. Oaearm, the right one, was torn from the body at tbe wrist and waa found some distance away. Tbe same arm was broken above the elbow. Both legs were broken above the knee and it ie feared that internal injuries exist. Physicians were hurriedly summoned and Mr. J. H. Curry, ihrbrhk contractor and father of the boy, was soon on the spot. The unfortunate lad was oarrled to his home, a short distance away, and preparations were made for an operation. Tne operation is in progress at this writing. The escape of the b >y from instant death is marvelous. Small scraps of olotnlng and batons can be seen strewn around the git u ad where tha accident occurred. The constitution of the boy is excellent and will be of great assistance at this time of need. He was consoious wnen the physicians arrived on the spot, and oouversed with them as to his injuries. IUNU8 MlfiEbjfii). Chaliman Ot Democratic I'arty Galls On Democrats For Aid.
