Standard of Teachers.
That there will be a substantial ad
vance In the salaries paid teachers In
this county najct year Is shown by
contracts which have already been
made for the 'coming season. Al
though the present school year Is not
yet closed quite a few districts have
engaged their Instructors for the fall
term and the contracts are now filed
with County Superintendent Welles.
An inspection of the contracts
made yesterday, disclosed the fact
(hat higher salaries than are now paid
are made In nearly every Instance, the
advance varying In amount from 15
to $20 per month. .
Contracts Sliow Tendency.
Pilot Rock employs two teachers
and of these the principal has now
been engaged at a salary of $75 per
month, an advance of IIS per month
over the salary given this year. The
primary teacher has not been employ
ed yet, but It Is understood that the
salary for that position Is to be ad
advance $10 per month. '
t'klah will have about SO or 35 pu
pils enrolled next winter and T. W.
Tandy, who has taught for several
years at Foster, has been secured at
a salary of $ft0 per month. This Is
a raise of $20 per month over the
highest salary paid heretofore.
It has been unofficially reported at
the county superintendent's office that
Earnest Young will be retained at the
Moore, near Freewater. and that the
salary will be advanced froiTi $50 to
$05 pr month. In Ferndale district
which adjoins the Moore district, the
principal's salary has been raised
from $70 to $75 per month.
At Milton most of the old teachers
have been re-engaged and all salaries,
excepting that of the principal, have
been Increased.'1 All lower teachers
were raised from $50 to $60 per
month. Last fall the salary of the
principal at Umatilla was advanced
from 10 to $80 per month.
. Average Will Be Raised.
Aside from the above the directors
of many other districts have signified
their Intentions of ' paying higher
' wages for next year. ' Consequently
there Is every Indication that when
subsequent contracts arrive they will
also show advances. For the present
year the average pay for lady teach
ers In Umatilla county has been $46. SO
while that for men has been $57.77.
There la now every Indication that
these averages will be $10 higher next
year. I
Several llcasnnn for Advance.
, As reasons for the general advance
In the salaries of several have been
given. Tn some Instances It Is be
cause districts have competent teach
ers which they can retain only by
paying them better. Also strict ex
aminations when permits to teach are
sought has doubtless had something
to do with the raise, for such has
ralred the standard of teachers them
selves. But there Is another thing that Is
tending to secure better pay for peda
gogues. It Is the general fact that in
view of the sblllty. character and In
dustry required of teachers the profes
sion Is too poorly paid. The recogni
tion of this fact doubtless makes It
easier for directors to consent to ad
vances In the pay of teacher. That
better teachers may be secured
through means of the higher salaries
goes without question.
BUYS FARM AT 81.
Rev. I. D. Driver Not Too Old to Wor
for a Living.

SYSTEMS OF WRITING.
The famous Methoa Kuws its the
Boastrophedoa.
About the year 450 B. C. the lonlans
first introduced the system of writing
from loft to' right Previous to tbat
time all scribes and penmen In genera
bad been In the habit of beginning the
line on the right band side of the page
nd running It toward the left. The
Introduction of the left to right .mode
of writing caused considerable confu
sion for a time, and from the mixed
systems which prevniled during the fol
lowing century sprang the famed meth
od known as the boustropuedon. Those
who used the system lust mentioned
would begin n line at the left margin
of their parchments and run it through
to tuo opposite 'margin and then drop
a space below and run bnck to the op
posite edge of the sheet again. In oth
er words, the boustropbedon mode of
writing was a system In which the lines
ran alternately from left to right and
from right to left This system did not
entirely disappear until about the time
of Christ The ancient Hebrew and
Greek languages were written from
right to left but at about the time the
lonlans were reforming writing meth
ods the Greek letters were changed in
form from the uncial to the cursive,
and the system of writing was changed
in both cases so ns to run from left to
right" The following quotation from
Franklin Illustrates the mixed, or bous
trophedon, system of writing:

SHOE NAILS.
The War They Are Made aad Why
They Are Is Cheap.
Three million separate shoe nails arc
often cast from one ton of metal. Of
the smaller sizes 2.000 nails are mold
ed in a single mold, and an expert
workman will make eighty molds In an
ordinary working day, thus turning out
100,000 separate nails.
When the metal In a liquid state is
poured Into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided In the
molding process; the whole of the nails
re cast together and are, when re
moved from the sand, connected by a
network of Iron one wltb another. In
this condition the iron is as brittle as
glass, and very little force Is required
to separate the nails from the network
which holds them together.
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing. They are
mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
Is in a powdered state, put into Iron
pots, and placed In an annealing fur
nace, sort of kiln. Here they remain
for some days, care being taken to so
regulate the beat to which they are
subjected that the Iron will not be re-
melted, but brought very nearly to
that condition. The action of the raw
Iron ore upon the brittle casting Is
marvelous. After cooling. It can be
bent without risk of breaking, and It
becomes a useful and serviceable arti

It Is only In comparatively modern
times that buttons have been utilized
ss fasteners. The Greeks and Romans
knew nothing of them, and though they
presented themselves as ornaments in
the fourteenth century buttonholes
were still an undreamed of possibility.
It was not until nearly the middle of
the eighteenth century that the manu
facture of steel buttons was entered
upon at the Bono works In Birming
ham, England. Then, on the accession
of George III. the gilt buttons appear
ed and became quite the vogue. But it
was reserved for the artisans of our
day to make these useful fasteners In
the greatest variety at marvelously low
prices and out of all sorts of material,
even to the seemingly impossible po
tato. Black- SaeJtea.
I have never seen black snakes over
seven feet long and much doubt It
they grow. to a greater length. They
are not bard to catch, though In an
open field they can run about as fast
as a man can. When caught they
struggle desperately nntll they find
there Is no opportunity to escape, when
they wlll'glve up fighting and may be
handled with impunity. I have never
found these snakes to be vicious. They
can be bandied easily, and their bite is
harmless. They can squeeze pretty
hard if they get a turn around your
waist but not bard enough to break s
bone. Forest and Stream.
The Calm Spirit.
The people In all lines of duty who
do the most work are the calmest
most unhurried people In the com
munity. Duties never wildly chase
each other In their lives. One task nev
er turns another out nor ever compels
hurried, and therefore Imperfect do
ing. The calm spirit works methodical
ly, doing one thing at time and doing
It well, and it therefore works swiftly,
though never appearing to be in baste.

HUMILIATING -VILE -DESTRUCTIVE
The very name, Contagious Blood Poison, suggests contamination and dread. It is the
worst disease the world has ever known; responsible for more unhappiness and sorrow than
all others combined. Nobody knows anything about the origin of this loathsome trouble,
but as far back as history goes it has been regarded the greatest curse of mankind.
No part of the body is beyond the reach of this powerful poison. No matter how pure
the blood may be, when the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters, the entire circulation
becomes corrupted, the humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer finds himself
diseased from head to foot with the vilest and most destructive of all, poisons. Usually
the first symptom is a small sore or ulcer, so insignificant that it rarely ever excites
suspicion, but in a snort wnne tne sum
breaks out in a red rash, the glands of the
groin swell, the throat and mouth ulcerate,
the hair and eye-brows come out, and often
the body is covered with copper-colored
spots, pustular eruptions ' and sores.
There is hardly any limit to the rava-
fes of Contagious Blood Poisou; if it is not
riven from the blood it affects the nerves,
attacks the bones, and in extreme cases
causes tumors to form on the brain, pro
ducing insanity and death. No other dis
ease is so highly contagious; many an inno
cent person has become infected by using the
same toilet articles, handling the clothing, by
a friendlv handshake or the kiss of affectiou
from one afflicted. But no matter how the disease is contracted, the sufferer feels the
humiliation and degradation that accompany the vile disorder.
Mercury aud Potash are commonly used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison,
but these minerals cannot cure the disease they merely mask it in the system. All ex
ternal evidences may disappear for awhile, but the treacherous poison is at work on the internal
members and tissues, and when these minerals are left off the disease returns worse than
before, because the entire system has been weakened ahd damaged by the strong action of the
Mercury and Potash. There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood Poison,
and that is S. S. S., the great vegetable blood purifier. It attacks the disease in the right
way by going down into the blood, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the poison.
It makes the blood pure and rich, strengthens the different parts of the body, tones up the
system, and cures this humiliating and destructive disorder permanently.
The improvement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S. S. S.
and continues until every vestige of the poison is driven from the blood and the sufferer

reward of $1,000 for proof that it contains a particle of mineral of any kind. If you
are suffering with this despicable and debasing disease, get it out of your blood with S. 5. S.
before it does further damage. We will gladly send our book with instructions for self
treatment and any medical advice, without charge, to all who write.

Dear Sirs I had a friend who had a bad oase of Con
tagions Blood Poison and was in a terrible condition. He
tried all the mediolnes he oonld hear of. bat nothing did
him any good. He went to Hot Springs bnt It was Ilka
the other treatments he had used, and hs was in despair
of a care When he heard of B. B. 8. After taking It for
awhile the sores all healed, his hair stopped falling oat,
and. continuing with It, he soon found himself onred en
tirely of this hideous disease. JOHN LESLIE,
Rookford, 111. 719 W. Stats St.
I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the; best doc
tors did me no good, though I took their treatment faith
fully. In faot I seemed to get worse all the while. I took
' almost every so-called blood remedy, bat they did not
seem to reach the disease, and had no effect whatever, I
was disheartened, for it seemed that I would never be
cured. At the advioe of a friend I then took S. S. 8. and
began to improve. I continued the medlolne, and it oared
me completely. W. R. NEWMAN.
