Editors Democrat :
I hve a boy attending school who U
now seventeen year. old. He studies or
thography, rea'dlng, arithmetic, writing,
grammar, physiology, geography, United
States history and pensmanship, in all o
which he Is considerably advanced. Now
I want to know how much It is going to
cost me to get the new books, which haye
been adopted to take the place ot the old
ones, ol which my boy is now supplied
with one in each branch. Our people here
want to know something about the change
and what it will cost them. A great deal is
said but no one seems to understand tne
matter.
Parent.
The above quest'on is a legitimate one
and its proper answer should be u nderstood
by every parent in the state. In orthog
raphy there will be no coit as there is no
change. In reading there has been a
change In all the readers, but there will be
no cost as the publishers ol the readers
have agreed to exchange free. If jour boy
has a third reader of the kind now in use,
whether it be new or much worn, a new
third reader of the recently adopted kind
will be exchanged for it free. Or a fourth
for a fourth, or fifth for fifth.and so on. In
arithmetic two books in Brooks have been
changed for two of Fish's. If your boy
uses Fish's book No. 1 the change in arith
metics will cost you 15 cents. If he uses
No. 2 it will cost you 30 cents. In pen
manship there Is no change. In grammar
there is no chanee. In physiology there
is no change. In .United States history
there is no change. It is due to candor to
t that in arithmetic a new primary work
called Piper's Seat Work has been added
for the accommodation of sucii scnoois as
desire a primary work suited to very young
children. In grammar, as we before said,
there has been no change from Sill's, but a
v work called 'Short Studies in linglish
h,. hern added. It is doubtful whether
nna district in a hunJred will use this book,
as most teachers regard Sill's as sufficiently
primary for beginners. In geography no
change has been made, but a new book on
Phvsical Geozraphv has been added called
Guvot's Phvsical Geography for use in high
and advanced schools. In history Barnes'
nrimarv history ha. been added for begin
ners. It is not probable that this will come
into general use.as most teachers will con
tent themselves to use Barnes' Brief His
tory, the one now in use So "Parenfwill
see" that in the case of his boy the greatest
cost he will be subjected to is 30 cent. If
teachers do not use the "added" text books
the expense' ot the cnange will bo trifling.
THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.
The wool growers and woolen manufae
turers have been before the Senate finance
committee to represent their respective
interests. The manufacture wanted such
amendments as would reduce the duty on
wool while the wool grower wanted an
increase of duties. On both sides there
was much heat and vigor In their argu
ments. Senator Sherman, who Is the em
ployed representative of the wool growers,
offered an amendment that Increased the
a... nn wool, whereupon the manufac
ture declared that the adoption of the
amendment meant a instruction ot tneir
industry, and that as against It they would
work for free wool. This Is tne oeauiuui
(nil, re and outcome of protection. The
protected monopolies of the country that
in.ni their monev so xreelv and in sucn
"i - -
profusion to elect Harrison are now openly
scrambling before Congress to see which
shall have, most of the "swag," that eomes
by protection. Let the fight go on. It Is
but another phase ot tne "campaign 01
education." The wool growers have a
right to demand of the republicans an in
crease of duties on their products or a ae-
crease of the duty on raw materlal.The utter
Impossibility of the republicans to harmon
ize these two conflictine interests has no
bearing on the minds of those who are
scrambling after this "protection" swag
The selfish greed of the protected monopo
lists knows no bound or limit.

For corns and bunions nothing is so cooling

A solution of alum, ten grains to the ounce of

Don't think it is tim: wasted to prepare a few
kindlings and lay them behind the stove with
r,r,er every nicht. then if any one is taken ill
during the night, and a fire is needed, it is
only a moment's work to get it.
Sunlight is one of the best disinfectants. The
mirrnhej that cause disease do not flourish in
strong sunshine. It also has the advantage of
being cheap.
Clean oilcloth with a wet towel pinned over a

have it rubbed in well.
See that your kitchen stove has a thorough
elemins inside and out every two or three
weeks. Many times stoves are blamed for not
drawing 0: baking well when they are clogged
with ashes.
Told drinks, as a rule, increase the feverish
condition of the mouth and stomach, and so
create thirst. Experience shows it to be a
fart that hot dnnks relieve thirst ana "cool on
the body when it is in an abnormally heated
condition, better than ice-cold drinks.
which are to be broken into water,
should not be broken into boiling water, as the
motion destroys their shape, but let the water
h hot as nossible without boiling, and let
them stand several minutes on the back of the
stove. They will then be soft but firm all
Ihrouph.

A few days ago we stated that S, A. Dawson
senator, had not been made chairman of any
committee in the senate, but we were misled.
He met with the best ol treatment from Presi

of the committee on engrossed bills, a member
of the ways and means, and roads and high,
ways committees.
