YOUNT UNIFORMITY BILL IS HIT BY EDUCATORS

Ohio Teachers' Association Adepts Strong Resolution Against State Uniformity of School Books. Cedar Point. O., . Educator. oi Ohio to the number of 2,000 attended the annual meeting of the Ohio State Teachers Association here. The session was marked by two important incidents the teachers refused to listen to an address on equal suffrage and they took unanimous action against state unilorrnity of school books. During the last session of the legislature the Yount uniformity bill was passed by the senate and was lo3t in the house. The educators of Ohio do not want uniformity considered again and they voice their protest in the following strong resolution: "We believe that the educational value of school processes and practices should be paramount to every other consideration. We are therefore opposed to all cSjorts which would aim to establish a system of State Uniformity in the selection of, text-books, because we believe that such, a system would be a hindrance to the present progress of our schools."

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM HEAD TO FEET "Four years ago I suffered severely with a terrible eczema, being a mass Df sores from head to feet and for six weeks confined to my bed. During that time I suffered continual torture From itching and burning. After being given up by my doctor I was advised to try Cuticura Kemedies. After the first bath with Cuticura Soap and application of Cuticura Ointment I enJoyed the first good sleep during my entire Illness. I also used Cuticura Resolvent and the treatment was continued for about three weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about the house, entirely cured, and iave felt no 111 effects since. I would advise any person suffering from any form of skin trouble to try the Cuticura Remedies, as I know what they lid for me. Mrs. Edward Nennlng, 1112 Salina St., Watertown, N.

The Ave children of some faithful patients had measles, and during their rather long stay In the improvised home hospital they never failed to greet his daily visit with pleased acclamation. The good doctor felt dul ' flattered, but rashly pressed the children, in the days of convalescense, for the reason of this sudden affection. At last the youngest and most Indiscreet let slip the better truth. "We felt so sick that we wanted awfully to dosomethlng naughty, but we were afraid to be bad for fear you and the nurse would give us more horrid medicine.

FROGS FOR PROFIT

Marine Hospital Offers Market for Large Number of Croakers. Fish Commissioner Meehan Enthusiastic Over Industry Gives Explicit Directions for Success in This ' Venture Requires Much Care. Lansdonne, Pa Frog farming has been carried on to some extent on many Pennsylvania estates in a small way for several years past. In some Instances the presence of an inherited frog pond of goodly dimensions, where the croakers have heralded each spring for numberless years (and increased In numbers in their congenial quarters In marshy or swampy farm ponds). It has not been difficult to establish a profitable Industry by slmrly catching quantities of the old frogs each year and allowing the others to increase.In other Instances the Industry Is fallowed as a fashionable fad, and owners of country seats have historic ponds and streams devoted to frog raising under tha care of an expert, or new ponds are provided with this object in view. The principal hotels of our large cities have for some years past demanded a sufficient quantity of frogs to provide their guests with frequent Jtreats to the toothsome frog-leg suppers and to keep up a sufficient demand to make the Industry profitable Now there is a new Incentive to frog-raising. Old Br'er Bullfrog, sonorous musician of our ponds, 13 found to be of special use for government experiments and he will now be in greater demand than ever. The. maTine I.ospKal Is planning to 6pend considerable 1 ey this fiscal year for frogs for use in testing medicinal preparations at the hygienic laboratory of the ins "t.ition. There are many things to consider in establishing profitable frog ponds. Fish Commissioner Meehan Is enthusiastic over the industry and he has given explicit directions for success in this venture. He says those who decide to undertake frog farming may make up their minds beforehand that the days which will follow will not be free from care or anxiety. It will be speedily discovered that

A BRITISH CUP

it Is not sufficient to build ponds after supposed best types, stock them and then stand aside and wait for the tadpoles to change to frogs and the frogs to money or into delicious morsels of food. Enough has been learned of frog culture, however, to stimulate a country gentleman or a progressive farmer with an unutilized portion of swampy land to undertake it. Fifty dollars will build the initial ponds and Inclose them with a suitable fence. There is always a strong probability that within a comparatively brief period, by the exercise of care, unceasing effort, and experiment, the work will develop into a fair market Industry.

Saved by a Feather Duster

Stenographer's Cluck and Dust Dispeller Causes Shivering Chicks to.Chlrp Joyfully. New York. A batch of cold, motherless chickens was saved by the genius of Lawyer Edward B. Clark of Jamaica and the ability of a stenographer to cluck like a hen. Clark's office is at No. 33G Fulton strebt, Jamaica, and he has an estate on Grand street But as his hens broke all the eggs he got under them he bought five chicks and took them to the office in a shoe box. The office was cold and the chicks peeped their discomfort, and as they grew colder their peepings grew weaker. t Clark called on Lawyer Robert G. Pattio to consult about the best means to save their lives, when his eye lighted upon a feather duster, owned In fee simple by Stephen H. Voris. a third attorney. "The very thing," said he. A hole was made in the top of the shoe box, the handle was poked through it, and the feather duster, inverted, was closed down upon the chickens. But they continued to peep. "'Twon't work." quoth Patrie. "Some one's got to cluck to give local color." First Clark, then Patrie, then Voris clucked In their most persuasive style. The chickens, unlike the juries, declined to be swayed. been us?1 by tho leader of the chorus and fell headlong. , She sprained her back and her left arm in the fall, but she did not think of that. She recovered composure quickly and smiled to the audience to assure thevn that she wasn't hurt, and then looked down at her Instrument. Miss McCausland picked it up tenderly and carried it off the stage, with difficulty holding Lack her tears. The audience had not understood that the violin was brcken, but a gesture by the girl told them and filence fell. The Instrument is a Lupot and Is valued at $1,200. It is 113 years old. She purchased It last winter and still Is devoting the money from her concerts to finish paying for it.

Catch Big Royal Sturgeon

Irish Fishermen Have Strange Bit of Success In Fishing Presented to King. Dublin. The capture of a royal sturgeon at St. Tadwall's island, Cardigan bay, and its immediate presentation to the king, by whom It was accepted, recalls the right of the sovereign to royal fish, wrecks, treasure trove, waifs and strays. The rovr. fish are the whale and the sturgec . which when either thrown ashore t . caught near the coast, are the property of the sovereign on account, as it Is said in the books, of their superior excellence. A similar right appertained to the dukes of Normandy, from whom it probably came to the English sovereign, and is still a prerogative of the kings of Denmark. A distinction is made between the whale and the sturgeon, the whale being divided between the king and the queen, the head enly being the king's property and the tall the queen's. - in - Law Plant plant" so that the poetical feet wouldn't have corns.

RISKS LIFE TO RESCUE BIRD

Traveler in British Guiana Plunges Into Water to Save Specimen for Lcndon Zoo. London. An interesting addition to the birds on exhibition at the London zoological gardens is about to be made by Sir William Ingram from Georgetown, British Guiana. His representative. Wilfrid Frost, has returned from an expedition Into the interior of British Guiana with living specimens of the extremely rare bird, cock of the rock. The birds, with only stuffed specimens of which the public Is familiar, are about the size of pigeons. The plumage is a beautiful bright rel. though the tail and tips of the wings are dark brown, while the feaihers on the head form a pretty arch. Mr. Frost and his party had an adventurous journey. They were almost lost In a bush swamp and on two occasions disaster almost overtook them by water. At one time their canoe collided with a submerged log and the man at the bow was precipitated Into the river. At another Mr. Frost, In his endeavor to save the cages containing the birds from toppling over, had a narrow escape from being drowned himself. Before starting on this expedition Mr. Frost took a number cf birds of paradise from New Guinea to Tobago for Sir William Ingram, who Is experimenting with the breeding of these birds in the West Indies. ADDER IN GIRL'S MILK PAIL Six-Year-Old Tot Says, "See the Big Worm I Caught" Bracelet Prevents Bite. Waterbury, Conn. George C. Densmore of Mount Tobe sent the six-year-old daughter of a New York butcher, George Holden, to the barnyard for a milk pail. The child got the pail and running to Densmore said: "See the big worm I caught" In the pail was a red adder, the deadliest serpent of New England. It nad struck the girl on the arm, but a bracelet stopped the blow. Densmore killed the reptile. Not 20 feet away he came upon the mate, rushing to the rescue, and killed it also. Densmore says: "It will soon get to where we Tobe folks must choose between adders and summer boarders. We shall certainly not be able to keep both-happily." Miss Adelaide McDonald. Voris stenographer, was called and asked to eluck for the chickens. Bending over the box, she clucked in so Inviting and persuasive a manner that every chick chirped Joyously and snuggled under the duster. They soon became warm and the batch was saved. PAYS HIS FARE WITH POETRY Stowaway's Verse-Making Gift Saves Him From Service In Galleys on Pacific Liner. Seattle, Wash. George Parrott, poet and stowaway of Des Moines, Iowa, who has wandered over the earth, arrived here on the steaniship Minnesota from Japan. Of all the queer human flotsam that have been landed here as 6towaways on Pacific liners, Parrott is the Grst live poet to steal a ride. Instead of riding into the Seattle harbor in chains he was given a place of honor In the first cabin and since being dug out of the dirty hold has acquired enough money to pay a first-class passage to New York where he has been promised a good position on a weekly humorous publication. Long, lanky with raven black hair and a vacuous expression about his eyes he looked the poet he Is. A water tender found him biding in the paint room two days out of Yokohama. Parrott immediately made an appeal In blank verse for mercy which induced the water tender to take him up to the galley for a meal. He was locked up but managed to send an appeal in erse to the captain who came down to see the poet. Parrott on seeing the master immediately began firing poetry through the iron bars. Captain Garbln brought the youthful pot t on deck and introduced him to passengers. Parrott announced a benefit at which he would recite poetry end it ras largely attended and more than $200 was raised with which Parrott is going to New York. Bunicn Kills Man. Altoona, Pa. As a result of having a sore bunyon on his right foot treated five weeks ago, Peter Morgan, aged CO, foreman of the machine shop at the Pennsylvania South Altoona foundries, died here. Following the treatment gangrene and blood poisoning developed and he suffered great asony until he lapsed into a state of coma prior to death. There are not only royal fish, but royal fowl. It Is laid down in the old law books that a swan Is a royal fowl, and that all swans which have no other owner belong to the king by virtue of his prerogative. The reason for the ancitnt right of the ;irown to the possession of sturgeons and whales and swans seems to be that they are in the nature of things found Without ty apparent owner, and accordingly est in the crown by way of exception from the general rule of law.

FOR THE PLAIN GIRL ADVICE TO ONE WHO WOULD SHINE IN SOCIETY. The Heart and Mind Count for Fully as Much as an Attractive Personal Appearance Would. A girl writes me plaintively: "I have great ambition to shine h society, but though my figure is good, my features are very plain, and, like all ugly persons, I am extremely sensitive. Then I am afraid that I haven't the kind of way that is needed. Do tell me what to do, for I am very unhappy." There are a good many plain people In the world, if they only knew it, for a great deal of the lack of charm comes from the ins?de. Irregular features and the indifferent colorings which stand for absence of beauty are by no means the whole thing. The heart counts, as do the mind, dress, extreme fastidiousness in personal habits, etc. The plain girl must want to please in every way, and she must get some fun out of her efforts if she hopes to be an entire success. She must not only like the little amenities of -society; she must love them. Let me consider the qualities of my correspondent for social brilliancy. She has, to begin with, a good figure. Way down under her tormented selfconsciousness she has the wish to pleose. So, if she will only stop thinking of her good points she will be able to do wonders. A girl who can write such a frank and simple letter Is no fool, and her self-depreciation shows she is of modest nature, two excellent qualities for conquering the bland artificialities of social life. For no ioman with a good figure is ugly when she is well-dressed and society sees nothing but charm In the modest figure who, without ostentation, does the right thing at the right momei t every time. So the first thing to do is to strive with misht and main to banish seifconsciousness. When the plain girl listens she must think of the talker and not of herself. She must endeavor to tc Interested and to give such sympathetic answers as will Immediately endear her to the speaker. There is a point to keep ever before you the good and sj-mpathetic listen A DOUBLE PURPOSE COAT Not Too Hot for Summer Wear and Will Protect the Dress From . Rain or Dust. . Male In scvue light colored coating that is waterproof, this coat would serve a dcuble purpose, as It can be worn cither to protect the dress from rain or dust, without its being too hot for cummer wear; it Is unlined, and the seams are all bound with Prussian-binding.' Materials required: Five yards 48 inches wide, six buttons. A Colored Tie. The paisley tie is a pretty touch which will add richness to the midsummer shirtwaist, and while the fashIon expert persists In the passing of tht separate skirt she suggests more and still more ties that will, like the paisley print, harmonize with this skirt, which is not in question, but out of the count. All of this is a tacit consent to the cool shirtwaist; but wear the white Mouse with a white linen skirt whenover you can. Instead of dividing yourself, and the pretty tie will prove none the less effective. Color enters in here, for the Persian prints come in all tones and tints, and the paisley tie is only at its best on you when It Is chosen in a becoming general tone. Fagoting Now Much Used. Five or dx years ago fagoting was used a great deal on dresses boasting of hand work. Then It seemed to sink into disfavor. It is being revived this season, and :ne of the smartest blouses boast of ich of it. . An Unfair Advantage. "Oh, they have lobsters!" exclaimed the fair maid a3 she glanced over the restaurant menu card. "And I dearij love them." "I'm glad of that," renlied the young man in tne case, "as I have frequently been accused of being a lobster." ' n Advance. 'He seems to be a man of decided views." "So he is, but most of his views are decided by his wife."

er is a power in society. Every little act of graciousness in the way of considering the comfort and vanity cf another before your own adds one more figure to the total of charms. The girl, plf.in or beautiful, who would shine in the world cannot afford to talce always the best chair and biggest piece of cake at the drawing room tea any more than she can afford to interrupt talk with irrelevant gabble. Her heart must be open to the foible of the other "critter," man or woman, and she must have at her finger points a perfect knowledge, of all the small politenesses that constitute human decency. Tact must be her sword and genuine liking for humanity her armor. So let me advise all girls who fancy themselves plain to practise, first, the gentle art of pleasing: for this constitutes the very foundation of success in society, and without It one Is. nil. And of course this recommendation includes the little arts and graces, for if you don't know when to call and when not, and think it not worth while to answer Invitations, or do some other thing equally annoying to others, you will fall far short of being tactful. A knowledge of every social requirement, however small, is absolutely necessarj' . PRUDENCE STANDISIL A SATIN-STITCH MONOGRAM A Very Distinct Design .Intelligently lllustrsted for Those Who Do Embroidery Work. This very distinct monogram is worked entirely in satin stitch; the thick parts must be run out .three times to raise the work a little, the other parts twice and once according to width. . PRESENTS A GIRL LIKES Prefers Pretty Dress Frivolities, Which She Could Not Otherwise Afford Rather Than Trinkets. A handsome ring, a watch or brooch; while there Is delightful French Jewelry, antique chains, or some of the popular Parisian pearl or diamond ornaments. Belts, belt buckles and belt pins. Hatpins in sets, veil pins, shirtwaist Jewelry cut buttons, stock and belt pin to match and a pendant in' the form of one's birthstone or a scarab for good luck. The school, fraternity or class pin studded with Jewels or enameled In colors is sure to please even where one is owned in the, ordinary form. Chains, silver or gold, plain or Jeweled, are costly but much prized gifts. WTlth them can go charms of all kind, to be worn on a chain or a handsome lorgnette if the girl is near-sighted. A pair of opera glasses. Get large lenses. No. 12, as the ! smaller ones are more trying on the eyes. Some of the tiny folding opera glasses have surprisingly powerful lenses. Gloves, slllc stockings, parasols and neckwear. Put thought more than money into your gift. Consult the girl's taste, also her circumstances and choose accordingly. In giving books select books of reference, poetry or essays rather than the popular novel, which may have been read and has no other value. If a girl must, economize she will like pretty dress frivolities that she would not otherwise own more than useless trinkets, however costly. Chamois Cushions.

A second cushion top of chamois has its conventional design burnt upon it very delicately burnt with the pyrographic needle, because this leather Is too delicate for careless work. Pretty Guimpe Dress. In these days when guimpe dresses are worn and guimpes are both expensive to buy and rather troublesome, to make, one can save time and money by utilizing old thin shirt waists. Yokes and lower portions ol sleeves wear out first, and these can be cut away and new material substituted. . ' This lew fabric may be lace, net lingerie or any preferred fabric. Then the shirt waist should be cut off at the waist line and all fulness eliminated. The edge should be neat ly finished with a narrow hem or bind Ing. j Lay on the new material before cut ting away the old, and then no fitting will 'be necessary. A Useful Table Cover.

BETTER THAN GUN

WHEN SNUFF PROVED VALUABLE WEAPON OF DEFENSE. British Army Officer Is Lucky in. Being Able to Relate Story of Almost Fatal Adventure In India. Perhaps no man's life was ever saved to him by a more curious circumstance than that attending the experience of a captain of the Bengal lancers. He had been on a visit to a civilian friend in Rajputana and went out for a walk in the country about sunset After coiner four or five miles he "found himself in a narlow path on the side of a steep hllll The path was a mere ledge in the rock, with a deep chasm on one side and a wall of solid rock on the other. It was not a pleasant place in which to come face to face with a big tiger; but that was just what happened to the captain. ! It was too late to withdraw, so he' determined to brave it out. The animal had evidently been asleep; for it continued for a few moments to lick itself into full wakefulness. jThe captain stood still, with his eyes fixed on the beast. Presently the tiger took a few steps forward and made a dash at him. Luckily Its teeth seized him by the flap of the coat. Just over the breast, so that he was not hurt by the blow. Then the captain had a chance to appreciate the feelings Of a mouse when it is shaken by a cat The tiger shook him till his senses left him. Perhaps it was as well they did leave him, for the beast held him over the deep chasm and a fall would have been as fatal as the animal's onslaught. 1 When the captain recovered consciousness, a few minutes later, he found himself lying flat on his back, with his feet dangling over the precipice. He opened his eyes, only to see the sky above him. He dared not move, for the tiger might be close at his elbow. Sg, he shut his eyes and remained motionless. Then he thought he heard a strange noise at a little distance, a sound as of somebody sneezing. His first thought was that some one Lad ome to the rescue and beaten the tiger off, but this was proved to be wrong by low, disagreeable, tigerish growls mingled with the sneezing. He turned slowly. He could hardly believe hl3 eyes. There was the tiger slinking off with his tall between Lis legs and sneezing violently as he went, his face distorted by most piteous' grimaces. The truth then dawned upon the soldier. In shaking him -the tiger had caused his snuffbox to fly open out of his waistcoat pocket and had received the contents full In the face! The First Aviator. Was Harold, the last of the Saxon kings, our first aviator? This is a point seriously maintained by ancient biographers of the Saxon king, who perished in the battle of Hastings. In the course olt ' an article in the Windsor. Magazine a writer recalls a tradition which cannot, of course, be either disputed or disproved today, but- was of sufficient interest to be retold even by the poet Milton in his "History of the Anglo-Saxons," where the poet-historian says: "Harold was, in his youth, strangely aspiring, had made and fitted wings to his hands and feet; with these on the top of a tower, spread out to gather air, he flew more than a furlong; but the wind being too high, came fluttering down, to the maiming of all his limbs; yet so conceited of his art, that he attributed the cause of his fall to the want of a tall, as birds have, which he forgot to make to his hinder parts. This story, though seeming otherwise too light in the midst of a sad narration, yet for the strangeness thereof, I thought worthy enough the placing." The Great Treading Down the Little. Five hundred years ago John Call, looking out over England, tells us that he saw "the great treading down the little, the 'strong beating down the weak, and cruel men fearing not, and kind men daring not, and wise men caring not," and then with his heart burning within him, he cries aloud, "and the saints in heaven forbearing, and yet bidding me not to forbear." If we compare our time with his, we will admit that although the great still tread down the little, and the strong beat down the weak, that the cruel are at last becoming afraid of public opinion, that kind men are more daring in their , schemes of alleviation than they used to "oe and wise men are more solicitous. Jane Addams at the Conference of Charities and Correction. A Queer Way to Cook. In certain parts of New Zealand both native and white women use the natural hot springs to do their coot ing. In the Hotorua region it matters cöt whether the cook wishes to roast a piece of meat, boil potatoes, or steam pudding, all she has to do Is to step out of doors and place the cooking utensil in a steam hole. The cover is then put on, and a piece of coarse sacking over the vhole completes the operation.; In a short time dinner is ready. At' Whakarewrewa the entire earth just beneath the surface is a mass of boiling springs. Millions of gallons of hot water hiss and steam, sending vapors skyward in great white clouds.
