Mrs. Lucia Julian Martin, principal of the Training School of Expression, contributed largely to the pleasure of the evening by her mutations of ‘•What My Lover Said,” “Tim’s Kit” and a “Fourth of July C’cbration at Jonesville,” all of which were rendered characteristic of the highest degree of perfection in mimicry and pathos.—Indianapolis Journal, Nov, 20. 1885. At Schaefer’s Nall, to-night, in an interesting ptogram. A Coal Fool. A press dispatch from Pittsburg says that a move is being made by a number of coal operators to pool the entire soft coal production of Pennsylvania, Ohio’^and West Virginia. The movers are also the representatives of railroads carrying soft coal. The latter have entered into the nogotatious for the purpose of obtaining a settled percentage of the carrying trade. The project embraces the regulation of the entire production, a inaintanance of prices and of ratos for miningaud the amount of eoal to be run by each linn. “Several operators who have steady trade, established after years of trouble, are against any arrangement for controlling the output of the mines, aud will vigorously oppose it.”--[Brad6troot. l*r eventing Crime. The Chicago Inter Ocean says; “The wot Id has been so busy wit h the execution of penal measures that it has hardly had time to thiuk of crime as a disease can he cured. Wo have dealt too much with effects and not enough with causesand although hero and thcro some effort is being made to start anew from the right basis, the reform moveineuts are hindered by the indifference of those in authority, Popular sentiment urging more titan legislative wisdom dictates, and it is rather to Jfitilanthrophy than to progressive statesmanship that wo owe the correction of many ot the legal wrongs and errors that have been a reproach to civilization.

Born on a farm, reared on a farm, and expecting to die on one, ought to import practical ideas of a farmer's life and wants. Who is (he successful farmer? A great many would sav, the man who makes the most money. Tills is really the world’s gauge,and it is accepted without thought. Not so. Farming is a higher calling than simply to make money. Put man’s first culling higher than the chink of avarice, or the selfishness of the money grabber. It is higher, better, nobler. The successful farmer is the man who does the most' for his family and fellows, the man of enlarged ideas, who puts the world a little ahead, whose ideal of life is substantial comfort, not display or penury, who toils to elevate his family and himself in the scale of intelligence and refinement. To do so lie seiies hold of eaeli passing opportunity, and makes the most of it, —the school, the church, the pres* and tire good in society. He takes no pride in display, hut his standard of excellence is real merit; and he teaches his children to respect worth, however homely. Economy is made a virtue and waste a crime, while shiftlcssucss and an untidy home are not tolerated. Nothing is lost on such a farm, and no animal ever suffers. A careful eye is always open, and an open hand responds to a willing heart. We get sick cf tire homage paid to money. Let us have loss of this fever and we will have a better world.

PUBLIC' DEBT STATEMENT. How the Nation's Finances Have Been Handled by the Preseut Admin* istration. ' The reduction of the public debt during October amounted to $3,201,Gl!). The decrease in the debt for the first, four months of the fiscal year aggregates $31,788,43', The interest bearing debt nowamounts to $1,153,413,112 and the total interest bearing and non-interest bearing debt less eash in the treasure is $1,304,347,045. The net cash balance in the treasury to-day is $52,783,190, against $67,896,321 a month ago. This decrease in net cash during the month is accounted for by the redemption of throe per cent, bonds. On Octoberlst therewero in round numbers $115,000,1X10 of the six per cent, bonds outstanding while to-day’s statement reports but $86,848,700 outstanding. The gold coin and bullion fund in the treasury today is $246,832,148, with liabilities in gold certificates outstanding amounting to $88,294,069, thus leaving a gold fUnd balance of $158,537,176. There are now $100,306,800 in silver certificates outstanding or about $500,000, 000 more than a month ago. The storo of silver dollars now held in the treasury amount to $182,931,231, an increase of $1,500,009 during the month.

Customs receipts $16,748,008, a half million more than in October a year ago. The large decrease in interna] revenue receipts compared with October a year ago, is almost wholly accounted for by an unusually heavy movement of bonded whiskey in October, 1885, upon which the tax was paid. The expenditures for October this year were $23,474,961, about $2,000,000 more than in October, 1885. The total revenue for the first four months of the current fiscal year is $123,057,497, or about $9,500,000 more than for the corresponding four mouths of 1885. On the other hand tho Government expenditures for these four months in 1886 were $1,021,370,031, or nearly $7,500,000 more than for the corresponding mouths of 1885.

Lowest Wages in Protected Industries. (Philadelphia Record.] Iron ore is protected by a tariff, vet the iron-ore workers of Penuslvania earned an average of $4 a week during the year 1885, as shown by the returns of their employers to the state bureau of industrial statistics. Soft coal is protected by a tariff of 75 cents per ton, yet the bituminous coal workers in Pennsylvania only earned an average of $6.21 per week in 1885, as shown by the reports of. their employers. Iron is protected by a high tariff, and the workers about the blast furnaces ot Pennsylvania only earned an average of $7.36 per week in 1885, as shown by the reports of their employers. The iron and coal interests are among the most thoroughly protected interests of Pennsylvania, aud yet the wages of labor in iron, ore and coal are lower than in any of the unprotected industries. If the protective tariff insuros higher pay to labor, as is claimed, why do the wages of iron and coal workers rule so low? UacUen't Arnica Naive.

* EMCATIONAL. [This column will be edited by the County Superintendent. He desires couuntiuk-tUiou» from every teacher In the county. Address him.} Pat ok a township has a local Indiana Teachers’ Reading Circle. The teachers of that township mean to stay in the front. A good township institute was held at Winslow on last Saturday. Most of the teachers were present, and an interesting and profitable session was had. The public schools of this country now employ three hundred thousand teachers aud pay them 162,000,000, a not very flattering anmal average of a little more than $200 each. Pronunciation should he established. That peculiar to certain localities should not be indulged. If it is, we will soon have a language for almost every State. Let there be a standard, au$ we will, ere long, have an American language. How to reprimand a pupil to do it all good and no harm is oue of the most difficult things the teacher may have to do. In all cases the puuishment should be the most natural and of such character as not tocause rebellion on the part of ihe pupil, or to awaken disrespect tor the teacher; foi otherwise the teacher will lose his influence over the pupil, and his power as a teacher in that school will be annihilated. Superintendent Holcombe is sending out the following circular to superintendents, trustees and teachers: “I hereby recommend that each school provide for celebrating an arbor day in the fall and in the spring, at such time as may he most convenient, by planting trees aud shrubs about the school houses. The contributions and assistance of the patrons should be secured, and the occasion should be improved to awaken the interest of the people in the schools, and to increase the attendance of pupils. A Friday afternoon may properly be devoted to this work, aul November 15) aud April 8 are suggested as the dates for tills year. Suitable literary exercises should be given by the pupils, with the naming of trees alter favorite authors or persons distinguished for services to education. Much good has been accomplished by the arbor day celebrations of recent real's, and it seems desirable that the work should be continued. The benefits of beautifying the school grounds can not be overestimated.” SELECTION or TEACHERS. I hope our Representative will see to it when he goes to Indianapolis that the law allowing trustees the exclusive right to select teachers, is re pealed, and the right to choose the teacher given to the pcupleor patrons of the district where it used to be and where it rightfully belongs. Weelaim that those \vho are to seud their children to a teacher, are the proper and only ones who should seleet him. The way the law now is, trustees foist upon a district some pet or person who may have voted for said trustee whether the district wants that teacher or not. A Teacher. The above, which was handed to us by a good teacher of this county, docs not seem as explanatory as it should be. From the conversation which we had with the writer, it seems that he does not object so much to the law as it is, but lie does object to the constant abuse ol the trustee’s privilege. The luw requires the trustee to select his teachers without school meetings. Some select the teacher in one district, and allow a school meeting in another district in the same township. Snob is neither uniform nor systematic. Every trustee ought to proceed according to law; and, if the law is bad, ti.e people will condemn it all the sooner, j and rid us of it.

Hints for the Household. When black stuff has become rusty they can be restored by sponging it in strong ammonia water or mixture of equal parts of ammonia and alcohol, which is still better. To remove paint spots apply turpentine , until the paint is softened. Then sponge repeatedly with alcohol. Oil, wax and resinous substances may be removed by first appiyiug turpeutine, then alcohol. To keep worms and bugs of all kinds from books, sprinkle some in sect powder on the shelves at the back and tie a small piece of camphor in a cotton bag and place in the same place. This camphor bag is also a good thing to place in the piauo to keep moth from the felt pads. To Clean Pianos.—Notwithstanding great care, pianos, and especially Uprights, will become smeared and \ lack luster. Do not attempt to use any varnish or furniture polishes, but take hike-warm water, make soapsuds and wash thoroughly a small space at a time, either with sponge or soft rag, quickly rubbing dry with a large rag. A piece of old table-cloth is tiie best for this purpose. Moth Preventer.—Before putting on cloth or plnsh mantel lambrequins, cut a piece of tar-paper to tit the mantel shelf; it will prevent the ravages of the early moths. Indeed, with this precaution the lambrequin may remain up to the entire season with safety. The tar-paper cut in narrow strips and placed under the edges of carpets, is much more efficacious than the old method of sprinkling with black pepper. > Grouse spots may be eradicated from black goods by rubbing with a sponge dipped in turpentine, having first laid the stuff over woolen cloth, folded three or four times. Grease spots can be taken from material of any color by covering the place with pipe-clay. Powder tho clay and moisten it with water to the consistency of thick cream ; spread it over tho spot and let it dry. After it has been on several hours scrape it off with the blunt edge of a kuite, and dust off all tho fine powder with a soft brush. Spots made by rust and some kind of ink may be removed from woolens by appiyiug critic acid. This acid can not be used on some colors without changing them to a very ugly shade, so it is well to try what effect it has on tho color of the goods to be cleaned by putting some on a waste bit before attacking the spot. It is always woil to be on tho safe side, and to be sure that vou will not make matters worse while trying to improve them. In these days of many shados and colors it is not safe to safe to say that what will act ns well as could be desired oil one shade will not behave in exactly an opposite manner .on a different shado of the same color.
