tbe county board ot eqnalizaion to in

Tea millions growing moldy in tbe

worked government to have to sit up
o nights and watob, and not know to
whom it bolongsl For something over
forty years this vast store has been
gathering dust, boing tbe proceeds of
"abandoned property" captured by the
Union soldiers, sold for oasb and tbe
mouey turned into tho treasury. To

tributed to approved claimants, $10,

WHEN TEACHERS GET THEIR

If tbe sohool board carries out its
presout purpose of advafaoing tbe sal

education in this city will bo well

timos insisted, iu order to attract tbe

structional servioo, there must be
adequate compensation. If teaobers
must live a hand to mouth existence,
they will only romain in tbe work as
a temporary expedient, leaving it as
soon as employment witb a better
salary is available.
The need of tbe schools is a stable

most perfectly for their work, and to

the only conditions possible for secur

mate of soon a polioy is to lift teaobing
to tbe plane of an honorable profession
nud to attract to it talent that would
not otherwise be available. With such
a standard established, tho school

WORRY, NOT WORK.
A Boston neurologist of large repute
has advanced a novel theory about
nervous collapse, tased upon a case
in his own praotioe. He relates tbat
a wealthy business man consulted his
physioian for relief from a nervous
breakdown. He was ordered to go to
Europe and rest, but it did him do
good. He was sent to rest cures and
sanitariums, where be was ordered to
do nothing wbioh would tire him. He
was informed that rest was bis only
salvation. He rested week after week
and month after month, and all to do
purpose. At last he consulted this
physioian, who believed in doing
something. After studying tbe case
he deoided tbat bis patieut was not
iu need of rest and was not in tbe least
fatigued, but simply did not have
enough to do. He accordingly advised
him to go tp work and quit worrying.
Tbe patient did so and was cured. The
remedy aud its encouraging result only
go to prove the truth of the old axiom
tbat woik is tbe pauaoea for all evils.
Cases of overwork, so often reported,
are usually cases of overworry. Care
may even kill the cat whioh has nine
lives to man's one, but hard work
without worry never killed aoy one.
Work with worry may often produoe
nervous collapse and often leads to
suicide, but good honest bard work
without excitement or strain, and per
formed within reasonable time, ie the
best of remedies to guard against ner
vous breakdowns. It would be an ex
cellent remedy in society, also, if so
ciety women, jaded and worn out by
the incessant excitement, late hours,
imprudent eating, and worries of
cial fuuotions and rivalries insteaIl
going to rest oures, would takeBe
broom and flatiron and put in several
hours of good bard work in the house.
They would be surprised to find how
rapidly tbey would reouperate and re
store tbeir wasted energies. Ex
