BETTER THAN BOOK LEARNING
Kentucky Mountaineer Preferred ae
Teacher Because He Could Llok
Blggeat Boy In School.
The colonel had gone up into the
Kentucky mountains from the blue
great In oommand of a sawmill, and
.aa soon aa he had mobilised his
forces In that field he began to
maneuver In the matter of Improving
'the people about hlB camp. What they
needed most were better sohools and
he determined to take a hand In the
selection of a proper teacher. To this
.end he called in *-?? ul
_ ^ -M VUV IIVU1 1119 UWU
.section who had a collage education,
but no mountain experience. When
:he proposed this blue grass nurtured
young man to the mountaineer trustees
there was unanimous opposition
In favor of one of their own kind.
vwho had been teaching the school for
(one time, though his education was
of the most limited kind.
"But,'* argued the colonel, "your
man doesn't have (he first rudiments
of an education and the pupils might
;as well have no teaoher at all."
"He's done better than anybody
'else ever done, ooloneU" replied the
chairman of the board.
"That may he, but none of them has
been educated properly to teaoh. My
man has been through oollege and Is
superior to any teacher In the county."
The chairman didn't want any
trouble with the colonel, nor did he
want to yield his point.
"Mebbe he's Jlst what you sar he
'la, colonel," be said persuasively,
**and It alnt fer us to doubt that be
baa a powerful sight of boob 1'araln',
but, colonel, we hare saw him and
;we hare saw our man, and I wanter
;say fer this board of trustees that
Tour man cant llok the biggest boy
I in school and ourti kin, and that
counts fer a heap sight more In this
neck uv woods than book rarnln'."
The colonel's candidate retired to
the btate grass whenoe be came.
DO NOT LEAN UPON OTHERS
Learn to Stand Alone or You Never
Will Beoome Strong or
Original.
Power Is the goal of every worthy
ambition, and only weakness comes
gram Imitation or dependenoe on others,
says Orison Swett Marden In Suooeas
Magaslne. Power Is self-developed,
self-generated. We cannot increase
the strength of our muscles bv
sitting In a museum apd letting another
exercise for us.
Nothing else so destroys the power
to stand alone as the habit of leaning
-upon others. If you lean, you will
nsrer be strong or original. Stand
alone or bury your ambition to be
somebody in the world.
The man who tries to give his children
a start in the world so that they
will not hare so hard a time as he had,
Is unknowingly bringing disaster upon
them. What he calls giving them a
start will probably give them a setback
in the world. Young people need
all the motive power they can get.
They are naturally leaners, Imitators,
ooplers, and It Is easy for tbem to develop
Into echoes, Imitations. They
will not walk alone while you furnish
crutohes; they will lean upon you Just
as long as you will let them.
Use of Checks In Franoe.
The governor of the Banque de
Tranoe has Just sent to the director of
the departmental branch offices a clr-1
ouiar instructing tnem about the use
of crossed checks. The Temps In publishing
these Instructions ' points out
the advantage of the English method
of employing ohecks and then shows
how the French system of making payments
Immobilizes capital unproduotlvely
In purse, drawer or bank, whereas
these sums converted Into checks
? would be profitable not only to their
owner but also for the bank which employs
them.
While the Bank of France hem to
face a bank note circulation of 6,000,000,000
francs and the monetary stook
Is 211 francs 76 centimes per head of
i-i??' ? -
uiv cvmriDuuons, England with a
greater amount of business has a bank
note circulation of 698,000,000 francs
and a monetary stock of 84 francs 68
oan times.
Destruction of Rats.
An Bast Africa publication contains
a description of a method of destroying
rats, followed In Jays, In which
oarbon blsulphate In employed. In
carrying out the method a small quantity,
usually about half a teaspoonful
of the oarbon bisulphide Is poured Into
the rat hole and after waiting a
few moments to let the liquid evaporate,
the mixture of air and vapor is
lighted, a small explosion resulting and
miing tne nole with poisonous gas,
killing the rats Instantly. Such a pro.
, cess practiced openly might be objeotloaable
ur.der some circumstances because
of danger from Are resulting
from the explosion and a field for Indention
appears to offer Itself to provide
some form of fire-proof gun or
explosion chamber suitably formed to
he Inserted In the ihouth of the rat
hole and adapted to enclose the explosion
and discharge the resulting
noxious gas into the hole.?Scientific

"I hare a dog and a hen which are
fast friends. Isn't that queer?"
"I don't think so?merely natural
affinity."
"In what way?"
"I believe your hen and your dog

BOOKS FOR BLIND CHEAPER
New Method of Printing, Dleoovered
In Franoe, Haa Lowered the
Coat Materially.
*-?*- * ? -
uw?o mi iu? unau are 10 t>e rery
much cheaper because of a new method
of printing them discovered In
Franco, and free libraries for the
blind are to be established throughout
the provinces of France. This Information
comes here from the Paris
correspondent of the Journal of the
American Medical Association, who
writes:
"Books with raised letters used by
the blind are generally very expensive.
They have, up to the present
time, been of two distinct types:
First, those which were stereotyped,
the manufacturing process being so
expensive that frequent printing of
new books Is made almost Impossible;
second, those written by hand by
some blind person whose good will
does not prevent him from making frequent
Inaccuracies, and who can make
but one copy at a time, and that only
slowly.
"Now M. Ernest Vaughn,' the dlreotor
of Hospice des Quinze-Vlngts, has
devised a press for printing books for
the blind by means of which a text of
Irreproachable exactness can be obtained
and at a cost 'much less them
that of either the stereotyped or the
hand-written books. To place this
system on the market he has founded
thft SnplAta PhllonUirnnlnno
slons pour lea Aveugles, of which ths
celebrated writer, Anatole France,
member of the Academle Francaise,
la president."?New York Times.
SHE HAD KEPT NOTHING BACK
Young Lady With 8sven Transfers
Explains Deficiency te Street
Car Conductor.
Seven bright young girls, each In a
new gown and all in the highest spirits,
boarded a street car in Philadelphia.
The announced intention of all
was to transfer at a certain junction,
and to this end the girl in the red
hat, who appeared to he the leader of
the expedition, got seven transfers.
But the other six changed their minds
before they got to the transfer point
and declared themselves In favor of a
shopping tour. Only the girl with the
red hat stuck to the original plan and
changed cars at the junction mentioned.
To the conductor who came
to take her fare Bhe handed the bunch
of transfers?the original seven.
The conductor looked at her, and on
each side of her, and all around her.
She was oblivious. Then he asked:
"Where are the others?"
The girl looked startled and confused
for an instant, and then she
said, with cold dignity: "Those are all
the transfer man gave me."
Latest German Fad.
Germany's latest fad seems to ba
tbe "Undosabad," destroyed by a Bei>
lln engineer, and claimed to be the
flret transportable covered swimming
bala which affords a practical substltute
for the usual expensive buildings.
The swimming basin is inexpensive
and may be easily transported to any
convenient location. The water supply
may be obtained from a lake, river,
springs, or from tbe town water
works, as the use of the Ultra minimizes
the amount of fresh water necessary
and so reduces the number of
germs that the water is purer than
when freshly introduced. The bath is
sheltered by a canvas roof and furnished
with a motor so that the air
and water can be warmed and the temperature
regulated. The motor's surplus
power can also be utilized In generating
waves of three feet or less
In height, thus destroying all germs
that remain, and add to the attraction
by simulating the ocean.

THIRTY YEARS OF
BACKACHE SHOPPED
REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE OF
MR. BARRY WITH NEW TREATMENT
WILL SURELY INTEREST
ALL SUFFERERS.
"To overy sufferer from backaches
and kidney trouble." says Mr. Jno W.
Barry, 306 Brandnff S., Fort Wayne,
Indiana, " I want to toll that I was a
victim of backaches for thirty-five
years and that like .many of my fellow-sufferers,
I tried hundreds of
remedies with out relief. I was so
bad at times I could not remove my
clothing. Someone recommended
Root Juice to me, just as I am reeom^
mending it to you and after taking
it as directed I found a speedy cure.
I certainly do not hesitate to commend
this great medicine to any victim
of these complaints for I know
j what it. moans to get relief."
The new Root Juice treatment proj
motes a fine appetito, makes digesi
tion perfect soth at pure nourishment
enters the blood; it strengthens the
kidneys and not only drives out rheumatic
poison, but stops its accumulation.
The results are surprisingly
quick. One week's treatment will
make a different person of you. Many
have said they would not take five
hundred dollars for what the juice
treatment has done for them.
The genuine Root Juice can be supplied
by any good druggist hut the
public is warned against tricky dealers
who offer worthless or inferior
imitations upon which they make
mort profit.
