Filial Piety Mr. Peixto, lodge keeper at Girard College, prides himself on hs intimate knowledge of the regulations- of the institution, says the Philadelphia Times. The other day a bright looking* young hoodlum of sorr e seven years of age, carrying a telescope bag and with a cigarette jauntily poised in his mouth, entered the lodge. “Say, I want to come to this school,” said the visitor. “You can’t come here if you smoke that thing,” answered Peixto. “Well, I’ll throw it away,” was the ready reply. “Is your father living?” asked the lodge keeper. “’Course he is,” said the boy. “We don’t admit pupils whoso fathers are not dead, only orphans.” “Gee!” was the response. “Then to get in I’ve got to kill the old man. Dat’s tough.” A Story of bishop Whipple. When called to take up the new mission of the Holy Commission, Chicago, he found busy railway yards close to his chapels, says The Century. He asked the chief engin eer how to reach railway operatives. “Read Lardner’s ‘Railway Econo my’ until you are able to ask a ques tion of an engineer and he not think you a fool.” So instructed, he drop ped in, one day, on a group cleaning an engine, and ventured a question: “Which do you like the better, in side or outside connections?” A tor rent of discussion followed on con nections, steam heaters, exhausts; and at the end of a half-hour ho re marked, in leaving: * Boys, I have a free church in Metropolitan Hall, where I should be glad to see you.” The next Sunday every man was there. For the Complexion. The complexion always suffers from biliousness or constipation. Unless the bowels are kept open the impu. rities from the body appear in the form of unsightly eruptions. De- Witt’s Little Early Risers keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition and remove the cause of such troub les. C. E. Hooper of Albany, Ga., says; “I took DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for biliousness, They were just what I needed. I am feeling better now than in years.” Never gripe or distress.

In 1900 the ten states south of the Potomac and the Ohio and east of the Mississippi, including Louisi ana, had 22 per cent of the total population of the United States, and 25 per cent of the school population; yet only per cent of the total ex penditures fjr public schools was made in these states, and only 4.1 per cent of the $538,623,736 of pub lic Bchool property was in these states. The per capita expenditure for public schools varied from 50 cents in Alabama and 51 cents in North Carolina to $4.93 in Massachusetts and $5.30 in Nevada. The average for the whole country was $2.83; for these ten states only 86 cents. The average per capita for these ten states was less than one-third the average for the whole country and only a little more than one-fifth tho average for the North Atlantic and Western states. The av'erago salary paid teachers for the entire school year varied from $87 for males and $76 for females in North Carolina to $1290 for males and $496 for fe males in Massachusetts. The aver age for the whole country, exclusive of these ten states, was $465.02 for males and $312.22 for females; for these ten states $175 for males and $160 for females. The average num ber of days of schooling for each child of school ago varied from 22 in North Carolina to 107 in Massa chusetts. For the North Atlantic states it was 87, for the North Uen- tral states 82, for the "Smstern states 80, for these ten Southern states 43. It should be remembered also that only 164,000 of the 5,645,164 chil dren of school age in these ten states were reported as enrolled in private schools, primury and second ary. The total school fund of these ten states was only one million dollars more than the school fund of Ohio, and tho total value of their public school property was only one-half the value of the public school prop erty of Ohio. A generation has passed since the close of the war between the states, and busiuos men in the prime of life whoso children are now in the schools never heard the noise of bat tle or saw a wounded soldier sent to the rear. These states are rich be yond comparison in natural resourc es. They are peopled by a brave and noble race. Is it creditable to us that such comparisons as the above show such relative conditions as to education? Increasing Gold Production. - Macoh Telegraph. In spite of the gloomy predictions to the contrary by silver enthusiasts a few years ago, the production of gold continues and increases, keep ing pace with all the demands of expanding industry and the increas ed use of gold in the arts. An increased production is report ed for Australia by Consul Bray of Melbourne. The total in 190i was 4,333,681 ounces, which is nearly up to that of 1899, when the output was 4,438,140 ounces. Western Aus tralia, which a few years ago was considered a barren waste of vast area but worthless for want of rain, now leads the continent in gold mining, producing last year 1,881,- 756 ounces, against the 816,692 ounces produced in Queensland, 790,050 ounces in Viotorta, 455,559 ounces in New Zealand and lesser amounts in the other colonies. Both Western Australia and New Zealand increase their production rapidly, thus more than offsetting a small de cline in some of the other colonies; Australia is not the only example of increased production. A general increase of the world’s gold produot is confidently expected during the next decade. The Klondike and Alaska fields are becoming steady producers. A reoent dispatch from the former states that in digging deeper into a claim that he was about to abandon, a miner took out $15,000 in a single day. The gold mines in British Columbia, like those of the United Stales, are in creasingly aotive and productive; new sources of supply are opening in Ashanti, in northern Manchuria and Rhodesia, while Johannesberg, which now produces at the rate of about $20,000,000 a year, will after a few months be producing twice or three limes as much. Moreover, the Anglo-Japanese alliance, by assuring peace in the far east, will aid to speed the development of the rich gold fields of eastern Siberia. Sausage While You Wait. A small boy, a clog and a rabbit led to the discovery in Kentucky the other day of what is believed to be a very rich zinc mine. The dog chased tho rabbit into a hollow in the Bide of a hill. The boy, eager to bag his game, proceeded to dig the rabbit out. In excavating he found lumps of a queer-looking mineral. These he put into his pocket and carried home. They proved to be lump3 of “turkey fat” zinc, almost 95 por cent pure. Min ing is now going on in tie boy’s rabbit hole. Practicaly Starving*. After using a few bottles of Ko- dol Dyspepsia Cure my wife re ceived perfect and permanent re lief from a severe and chronic case of stomach trouble, “says J. R. Holly, real estate, insurance and loan agent, of Macomb, 111. “Before using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she could not eat an ordina ry meal without intense suffering. She is now entirely cured. Sev eral physicians and many reme-r dies had failed to give relief.” You don’t have to diet, Eat any good food you want, but don’t overload the ’ stomch. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will always digest it for you. IToltzclaw’s Drugstore, “Another new waiter has come and gone,” said the vetertfn of the 15-cent rostaurant as he deposited a beef stow in front of his favorite customer, says the Philadelphia Rec ord. “What was the matter with him?” asked the favorite customer. “Well, it wasn’t exactly his fault,” explained the veteran. “You see, the second day he was here a cus tomer comes in and asks for a brace of Frankfurters. ‘Sausage is all out,’ says the new waiter, ‘but if you wait awhile I think I can get you some.’ He was so eager to be obliging that he was going to send across the street for ’em, Well, sir, as he went through the door into the. kitchen he happened to tread on the dog’s tail. The dog set up a howl, and the customer yelled: ‘Hey, there! Never mind that sausage. I guess I don’t want itl* Then he puts on his hat and goes out. The boss saw the whole thing, and that night the new waiter was paid off, and quit. Pret ty tough, wasn’t it?” If Thomas Jefferson, the great democratic statesman, were alive to day, he might well say, as he did in the early days of the republic, “Above all things I hope the educa tion of the common people will be attended to.” There is no other way to power, prosperity and prog ress.

The rumor that Mr. Alfred Lyt telton, M. P., is to succeed Lord Pauncefote as ambassador at Wash ington is interesting. Mr. Lyttelton is one of the most noted athletes in England. He was a foot ball player at college and has been a leading light in a number of athletic clubs. As a boxer he is said to be very clever. John Bull has evidently been taking note of the strenuous life in Washington and determined to send over a representative able to hold his own whatever the game may be.—Savannah News.
