The Slavs are one of tbe chief divi sions of tbe Aryan race. They are di vided, as a race, into two leading fam ilies, tlie eastern and western Slavs. Tbe eastern Slavs comprise the Rus sians (Great Russians, Little Russians and White Russians); Bulgarians, Ser- bo-Croats, including the Servians and Montenegrins, and Slovenes in Cnrin- thla, Carniola and part of Syria. Tbe western Slav family is divided Into the Poles, In Russia, Austria and Prus sia, and the Kassubes; the Czechs, or Bohemians, and the Moravians, with the Slovaks in Hungary, and the Lusn- tian Wends or Snrbs In Saxony and Prussia. Tlie theory is that their orig inal home was in Volhynla and White Russia. The Parent-Teachers club will meet at the home o f Mirs Hazel Taylor Dec ember 4th at 2:30 p. m, sharp.

Did you ever hear of mining timber? The chances are that you did not, and yet there was a time when the mining o f white cedar was one of the most important industries of New Jersey. Those who delved In the swampy earth in pursuit of the great and per- fectly preserved logs were not compelled j to dig deep pits, for the trunks of those prehistoric trees were seldom more than fifteen feet below the surface. Many o f the logs were as much ns six feet in diameter, and one was found with 1.0S0 annual rings. Beneath this tree, which had flourished In its native forest for more than a thousand years, there was dug up another tree o f an even earlier forest with more than 500 rings. New Jersey is by no means tbe only state In the Union or the ouly part of the world where prehistoric trees are to be found so perfectly preserved that even their characteristic odor Is re tained. Near Salem, O., n large quan tity o f timber was dug tip at a depth of forty feet, the trees incased in a thick layer o f glacial mud, and it Is nothing uncommon in eastern Michigan for the diggers of wells to encounter tree trunks sixty feet down in the soft earth. The wood thus obtained is the best wood to be had, especially for tine cabinet work. In Germany i f has ion been tlie custom to dredge tbe deep lied of the Rhine for ancient logs, out of which tbe cases of the Unest toned pi auos are constructed.—Exchange. ENGLISH SPELLIN G .

Tlie rest of tlie world is agreed that the man who insists lie is never at a loss for the correct spelling of n word is a prevaricator of tlie nth degree.

Bernhardt when she was urged to present her plays in the speech of ihe American people declared, "English Is not a language; It is violent exercise, and Its spelling is impossible.” Many a schoolboy mid girl will agree with her. What justification is there for such a word as “ victual," which must be pronounced Just as it was in the days when it was spelled v-l-t-t-l-e?
