Mother’s Club. The teachers aud mothers met pursuant to the ca 1 of Supt. Brittson of the Ciy Schools at the central school building on last Saturday at 2:30 p. m The object of J the meeting was to make ourselvts' more ab e to meet the needs of the children and to consult with each other that help might be given and received. The session was opened by a short address by Snpt. Britton. He expressed a desire to have the patrons aud teachers become acquainted, and further, to h tve the hearty co-operati< n of all persons interested in education. He thought the pupils should be taught not the contents of the text book only, but the true worth of moral living. Education is not only purposed to sharpen the intellect but to soften the heart, and from this he concluded that a man with a sharp intellect and a hard eart was but half educated. He was followed by short speeches from Mesdames Dailey, Erwin, Schrock, Lucky, Trout, Burdge ami Mil s. Prof. Erwin of t* e north ward and several of the other eachers joined in asking that the patrons visit them in their work. They also expressed the desire to have the meeting form a permanent organization. In this all agreed and the name “Mother’s Club” was suggested and adopted as a suitable name for the new society. The names of ali present were enrolled. Thirtv-B>x mothers and friends of education were pres ent. This number exceeded ’he at tendance of the first Mother’s meeting held in Detroit, Mich., by eleven. At the next meeting we hope to enroll one hundred. The following officers were elected: For pres. Supt. W. F. Brittsion; vice-pres. Mrs. Nettie Schrock; sec. Mrs. M. V. Dailey. The subject for our next meeting which will be held Friday, Nov. 12 from 3:30 to 4:30 o’clock, is “Duties Towards Men.” Mrs. Schrock was selected as leader in the dis cussion in which all are expected to take part. The club meets in central school building and will be in session but one hour. All are cordially invited. Mrs. M. V. Dailey, Sec’y.

Mrs SchrocK Doxology—Benediction. J. C. Berry, one of the best known citizens of Spencer, Mo., testifies that he cureo himself of the worst kind of piles by using a few boxes of Witch Hazel Salve. He had been troubled with piles for over thirty years and had used many different kinds of so-called cures; but DeWitt's Hazel Salve was the one that did the work and he will verify this statement if any one wishes to write him. W. H. Nachtrieb. An ordinance being enforced in Newbern, N C., prohibits any one, proprietors and employees included, from going in or out of a place of business between Saturday midnight and Sunday midnight. The city of Berlin has closed its annual accounts with a surplus of over 32,000,000 This money has been saved by the different departments, most of which spent far less than had been granted to them. Shakespeare’s daughter Judith, who was 32 when he died, survived him 46 years and became a Puritan. So rigid was she that she would never go near a playhouse and was intolerant of everything theatrical. An experienced man who has just returned from Alaska, tells the Fargo Argus how to cure the Klondyke fever. “Pick out a morning next winter,” he says, “when the mercury is below zero, shoulder a pick and go into the woods bes-re breakfast; dig a hole sixteen feet deep; come back to the home at night and eat a small piece of buffalo robe and sleep in i the wood shed. Repeat the dose as i often as necessary.”—Ft. Wayne I News.
