Care should be taken by the parent as to the reading matter of their children. It does no good to condemn yellow-backed literature unless you supplant it with profitable reading. See tLat your bov is in school when not necessarily detained at home. These windy days make it very disagreeable in the halls. There is no harm in being stupid, so long as a man does not think himself cleverr'no good in being clever, if a man thinks himself so, for that is a short way to worse stupidity.

Rev. Hamed visited the grammar room on Friday last. If the patrons knew how it cheers and encourages pupil and teacher to have those for whose children the teacher toils to visit them no maiter how brief their stay, we bo lieve it would not be such an unusual occurrence to witness the presence of strangers. The pupils who attend regularly will find but little difficulty in completing the work laid down in the course ot study. They who fail at two successive examinations will be removed to the next lower class.

Ex. The audience which gathered at the Opera Hall last Friday night to witness the presentation of the play, Fanchon, the Cricket. by the home dramatic company, were highly pleased with the rendition of the piece. The parts were all well sustained, and the fact was ell demonstrated that Onaga possesses dramatic talent second to none in the county. The man who wouldnt take a newspaper was in town the other day.

Among other indications of being behind the times, we noticed that he set his watch by the sign front ot the jewelry store, wiped his nose on a bolt of calico hanging in front of a store, stopped at a bank to inquire the price of coal and paid twenty-five cents to a drug clerk for an almanac. Ex. Oscar Cummings was vaccinated some four or five weeks ago and it seemed to develop into blood poisoning, his shouller and breast becoming swollen and painful sores breaking out on var ious parts of his body, until last week the doctor lanced his shoulder from which a large, amoufit of matter came and is still coming. Grave fears have bean entertained that it- might- prove serious, but at this time he appears to be gaining and all hope the worst is over. Centralia Journal.

Gustave Landerman, a prosperous farmer of near Wheaton, caused his name to be placed upon our subscription book one day last week, and at the same time favored us with a dissertation upon the subject of dehorning of cattle. Gus is violently opposed to the practice, and states that it is simply ruinous in case of milk cows, and that stock cattle are seriously retarded in their feeding. This is a subject upon which much can be said upon both sides, and it will pav our farmers to seriously and carefully investigate before they decide. A druggist recently received a visit from a lantern-jawed, hollow-eyed man, who asked in cadaverous tones if he could give him any remedy that would drive away nightmare that was preying like care upon his health. The man of drugs nodded, and compounded a mixture of quinine, wormwood, rhubarb and epsom salts, with a dash of eastor oil, and offered it to the despairing patient, who apathetically gulped It down.

Pottawatomies coroner seems to have suddenly acquired a distaste tor newspaper controversary with himself the subject and in the last issue of the News Letter withdraws from the contest with a' whine, and a pitiful assumption of dignity and injured innocence. We had hoped that the valient would stand up to the rack until we had an opportunity of showing to the world the beautiful spectacle of a conceited quack denuded of his borrowed plumage. But, as the coroner has signified that he has got lough for this round, we will reserve the several scraps of personal history that we have gathered in regard to the dear doctors previous walk, for future reference, and close by suggesting to this former advance agent and bill distributor for a Missouri pile doctor, to be a little careful next time he rushes into print and not bite off more than he can chew. A man who, while pretending to be- a physician, doesnt know a bismuth pill from a po-ious plaster, or a fractured limb from a case of arsenical poisioning, has no real necesssity for advertising his ignorance, and it is in bad taste so to do. Bye, bye.

until you again make a fool of yourself. Certificate of Teachers, in distrets which have adopted a course of study for common schools, will please notice that it is their duty to send to the county superintendent a list of the names of those pupils who have completed the course and who In their judgment are able to pass the required examination for diplomas. This list ahould be made up after a careful preliminary examina-nation and a concurrence of judgment of tbe applicant, the teacher and the committee, before he is recommended to the county superintendent. These recommendations should be sent in soon so that I may arrange for the final examination. The requirements of Speer's Course of Study for district and graded schools will be strictly observed in the examination and only those who meet all the requirement will be given diplomas.

Good city property to exchange for raw or improved land. Call on or address 11. Storch, Onaga. Kaunas, Mixrd Fanning. One of the principal objections to risking the farm profits upon any one crop, or kinds of stock, is the increased risk in failure, first, in raising or growing anything to sell, and second, in being able to secure good prices, or rather prices that will return a fair per cent of profit.

There is always some risk of this at all times, and with all classes of products aud stock, but with a variety of crops raised and fed to stock the risk is reduced very materially. If the same general li ne of farming, however is carried on. what we fail to receive with one we can make up with anotner. so that the average will be a fair per cent of profit. It is hardly to be expected that any one particular' crop will return the largest per cent of profit each year.

It is possible to cull out the worst and select the best, but not so fully but that there-will be a considerable variation each year in this respect. At least in a series of years, the farmer who carries out a system of farming based upon this plan will be able to show much the best per cent Of profit. Prairie Farmer..
