The board that has just retired has worked with the superintendent with j Mch marked success that our schools bare been placed in an enviable post- son. ui course Htue more tnan a .good beginning has been made in the upbuilding of our county educational system. Much remains and bndoubt- fijy aruch will be done by the author ities during tbe coming year. ,..lXne average length of school term Jor,,h whites was 18 4-5 weeks, and tr colored 17 3-6 weeks making the ' school term longer fur the past year ibaawrer before. Then the average salaries have been higher than ever Ivtore, making an engagement in our schoole really worth while. This show- iag of our county schools Is made In addition to the fact that of the county school fund, 13,578 was set aside for iaeKlastoa graded schools. But the beauty of the thing is that she new board has now at its command a eoasiderable sum in the treasury against a deficit at the beginning of .last year, i M , . " Tb outlook is decidedly bright.

A rtaiaaa Bar's . When tbe buys of Finland want to take a bath this is the way they do It: In the first place, it is very, very cold In Finland, and tbe bath room Is not In the house at all, but is a building quite tepsrate. It is a round building, about the siae of sn ordinary room. There are no windows, so light and air . can only come in when tbe door la open. Inside benches are built all along tbe wall, and in tbe center is a great pile of loose stones. Early on Saturday morning word is brought in, and a great vessel standing near the stones is filled with water. Then some one cuts ever so many birch switches, and these are placed on the floor of the bath house. Next, the Are is made under the stones, and it burns all morning. In the afternoon, when tbe stones are very hot, the fire Is put out, the place Is swept clean, and all Is ready. The boys undress In their homes and run to tbe batb bouse. As it is gener ally 30 below zero, you may be sure they do it In double quick time. As soon a they are In tue bath house they shut tbe door tight and be gin to throw water on the hot stones. This, of course, makes the steam rise. More water Is thrown on, and there is more steam until the place Is quite full of It. And now comes the part tbat I think you American beys would not like at all. Kacti boy takes a birth swjtcn and falls to whipping bis companions. This is to make the blood circulate. and. though It is real bard whipping, no one objects, but all think it great fun. At last looking like a lot of boiled lob sters, they all rush out. have a roll in the enow and make for home. New York Herald. Tw Little Girls' Lofty Hove.

What ought she to do? Should she reply and tell who she really was or not? It was evident that there was something wrong wlttf the wires and that Mr. Dean imagined himself to be talking to his aunt What claim had the "little Miss Myers", on him now after all these years? , ""f.i- Very likely he was happily married, and therefore was it not Miss Myers plain and simple duty to say that she was not "Aunt Jane" and then go back to her work?
