Since ISSil the export of teakwood from Bunmi has Increased enormous ly; but, despite the phenomenally high price of the wood. It would not be prolitable to work it, even in these days, without the elephant. In this trade the Burmese elephants, massive animals whose strength is almost un limited, are seen nt their best as beasts of burden. From the time when the forest areas are purchased, before the trees are felled, to the hour of export on the ocean going vessels at the port on the Indian ocean the elephant is the main worker. Far away In the malarial swnmps and almost impenetrable jun gles this majestic benst first tramps down a passage through the under growth. Then, guided by his Indian keeper's prong, the elephant com mences bis arduous labor of dragging the felled, trees to the river, whence they are conveyed by raft down coun try to the sawmills. These enormous trees, untrlmmed and cumbrous, nre sometimes dragged up and down the Jungle and mountain forest pathways en route to the river with rare precision. At the mills again the work of packing and stack ing Is done exclusively by elephants. When the trees nre sawed Into lengths the elephants do the piling, bringing the huge planks from the sheds ami arranging them In an orderly manner In numbered piles. Argonaut. PIPE ORGAN RECITAL Hard on the Lawyer. Sir William Jones was receiving a visit from Mr. Day, a man of some note at that time. During a conversa tion Sir William moved a book from its place, and a large spider dropped to the ground. "Kill that spider. Day! Kill that spider!" cried tne great scholar. "No," said Mr. Day, "I will not kill that spider, Jones. I don't know that I have a right to kill that spider. Sup pose now that you were going down to Westminster hall In your carriage and some superior being, who might have ns much power over you ns you have over this spider, should call out: 'Kill that lawyer! Kill that lawyer!" How should you like tlint. Jones? And I am sure that to most people a lawyer Is a more noxious creature than a spider." Why Is It? That a legless man can "put his foot In It?" That persons who are "consumed by curiosity" still survive? That frequently n sinking fund Is used to meet a Moating debt? That straining the voice is not the proper way to make It clearer? That we speak of a stream running dry when the only way It can run is wet? That wives should expect their hus bands to foot the bills without kicking? That we talk of some one "going straight to the devil" when he has to be crooked to go there? Boston Tran script. Two Things Distinguish Men. The essential things which distin guish one person from another, which give one mnu n higher place and an other n lower, are Just two. First of all, perseveronce the ability to keep everlastingly at it, and second, Imagination or vision the ability to see beyond the present and to under stand that the work nt hand reaches beyond the present moment and so Is worth while.-St. Nlcbolus.

Our Present School System Should Be Left to Stand By Dr. NATHAN C. SCHAEFFER. State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Pennsylvania UITLRS who have never taught a school successfully, who have never had a chilJ of their own to educate and who could not make a dress or cook a palatable meal with the best effort, are always LOUDEST IN T1IE CRY FOR REFORM. Without doubt teachers arc in danger of being too conservative. Life is ever changing, and progress is the watchword everywhere. The SCHOOLS NKKD READJUSTMENT as civilization ad vances and the conditions of life change. THE THEORIST AND THE REFORMER ARE NEEDED AMONG A FREE PEOPLE. BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO LAY VIOLENT HANDS UPON THOSE FEATURES OF THE SCHOOL WHICH HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF AGES AND WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE JOY OF LIFE DURING THE HOURS NOT DEVOTED TO BREAD-WINNING. ONE-HALF MILLION DOLLARS Represents in round numbers the amount of land which we have succeeded in disposing of during the past two years for I our clients in noon Kiver Valley. Mot at all bad we are thinking considering the rather unsettled condition of the general real estate market of the country during that time. We are rather proud of the record which accounts for our "blowing our horn" in this manner. In view of the fact that so much property has been sold from our lists we find that we are short on some few classes of places, and we would be very glad to have listings on any good properties that are fpr sale in the valley, which we do not now have. We are now making up our lists for the coming season's work which we anticipate will be a good one, and would be glad to have those who have their propert listed and those who wish to give us new listings, call on us as soon as convenient.
