oATHENA.ORE.. SEPT. 8 1911
Within a very few days the schcol
year will begin over the greater part
of tbe land. This meauB that for
the next nine or ten months, and for
flve'days escb week, the children from
most homes will be under the direct
care and instruction of the teaohera
whose influence over those ohildren is
ueoesaany seoond only and in many
cases greater than that of the par
ents. Very fortunately, most of this
great army of teaohors ooneista ol men
aud women not only above the average
in eduoation, but of superior moral
worth and intelligence. This being
the fact, tbe loss inteiferenoe parents
make with tbe relation of tbe teaoker
to 'the pnpil the bettor. Teachers
are seleoted for a certain work: in
which tbey are rightly supposed to te
experts. Therefore any interference
with their method of instruction, dis
cipline and government almost invar
iably works barm to tbo ohildren,
prevents the teaobeia from working
to tbo best advantage and injures the
morale and standing ot tbe school.
That members of tbe poultry trusts
have been found guilty and have re
ceived prison sentenoea instead of
lines is an enoouraging faot. Hither
to trust magnates have usually man
aged to escape throng h tbe operation
of immunity baths, and convenient
legal teobnioalities apparently de
signed to favor them. And when
tbey have been found guilty the pen
alty was a fine whioh was usually
charged up to tbe consumer. That
has been tbe exporienoe with tbe oil,
sugar and tobacco trusts, tut with the
suooess attending the prosecution of
tbo poultry frost it is to bo hoped that
a new day lias dawned for the public.

Europjan Hotel.
Most American travelers on their
first trips on tbe continent of Europe
are astounded when upon the day of
their departure from a hotel they are
presented with their bill by the head
waiter instead of by the landlord or
by his chief clerk. But it is the cus
tom, and. this important individual is
thus assured of his tip. But they fret
and fume Inwardly as they think of
all the other servants to be tipped
and usually end by giving each one
about three times what he expects.
There are two ways of avoiding this
worry if they only knew. In small ho
tels and pensions where an average of
$2 or 10 francs a day is paid for pen
sion it is proper to allow 1 franc a
day for each person for service and
when going a way divide it according
ly among those who have served you.
In larger hotels a more satisfactory
way is to take 10 per cent of tbo hotel
bill, whatever it is, add it to the
amount of the bill and request the
head waiter to divide it among the
servants. Thus is the tipping ques
tion very much simplified. New York
Tribune.

Swoet Mother Love.
A man awoke one night with a
toothache.
Ho groaned, ho turned and twisted,
ho howled, ho wat up and lay down
again. He arranged his pillow and
pressed It against his face, with an
other groan.
Ills wife slept on aud never moved. N
lie wanted attention, he wanted sym
patthy, and he groaned again.
Still she slept.
Injury added to the pain; it wasn't
treating a fellow right to sleep like
that when he was suffering with a
painful tooth, and he called her name.
Still she slept.
Ho hnd groaned three times as loud
as he could, and she didn't awake.
Then the baby, in its crib in another
room, sighed softly in lis sleep.
Tho woman was on her feet nnd
standing beside Its crib, anxious eyed,
in nn instant.
"And I actually thought," Bald the
man, "that she loved nio most." St.
Louis Star.
National Purses.
The Englishman carries gold, silver
and copper loose in his trousers pock
et, pulls out a handful of mixed eolns
and selects the one he needs. The

of the pooler classes ties up his little
fortune In a gayly colored handker

A similar course finds favor with the
Spaniard, while the lower class Rus

hiding place for his savings. Loudon

Bee's Double Stomach.
The bee has two distinct stomachs.
In the first It stores away the honey it
so industriously gathers up from the
flowers until such time as It Is ready
to yield it up, while the other stomach
is used simply and solely for digestion
purposes. Thus the food and the honey
are never mixed. When the bee re
turns to the hive and Is ready to de
posit the honey It has gathered it
contracts the muscles of the stomach,
by which act the honey Is ejected
through the mouth. As to bee food, It
Is various In kind, consisting largely
of the honey It so patiently makes for
others.
What Nothing I.
If any man thinks that he can con
ceive well enough how there should bo
nothing, I will engage that what he
means by nothing Is as much some
thing ns anything thai he ever thought
of lii Ills life, and I believe that If lie
knew what nothing was it would be
Intuitively evident, to him that It could
not be. Absolute nothing Is the ag
gregate of all the contradictions In tho
world. Jonathan Kd wards.
A Partial Alibi.
"She claims nlie has a perfect nllbl."
"What Is her nllbl?"
"She says she can prove that at the
very time the crime was committed
her own little girl was brushing her
hair."
"That proves an alibi for her hair,
but how about herself?" Houston
1'ost.
Walking.
"I know how people walk," said
Willie (o his grandmother. "They put
ono foot down nnd let It stay till It
gets away behind, then do the same
with the other foot, and keep on doing
It." Chicago News.
Quite Likely.
"I wonder when the first surgical
operation was performed."
"I suppose It was In Adam's time.

Sunshine Is delicious, rain is refresh

with your means you couldn't oven

A Curious Dost.
According to n Chinese legend, there
lived Jn Canton 200 years before Christ
an artist named Llui Kao ToUtlg, who
