County Board of Education Meeti.
The April meeting of the Board of
Education was held last Monday.
Among the matters considered and
disposed of were the following:
A petition was approved for a sup
plemental tax election in District No.
1, white Banner township (Benson
Public High school) of 10 cents on
the $100 valuation of property and '
30 cents on the poll. The rate origi
nally voted was 20 cents on property [
and 60 cents on the poll. The sup- !
plementary rate is necessary to run
the school nine months in the year.
Election is ordered for May 13th.
Another petition was approved for 1
a special school tax election in dis
trict No. 2, white, Cleveland town
ship (Shiloh school) on a rate not
exceeding 25 cents on the $100 valu
ation of property and 75 cents on
the poll.
The subject of creating a new dis
trict from parts of District No. 3,
white in Oneals and No. 6, white,
Beulah was deferred for better agree
ment of the people as to the division
of the Oneals district. In case the
new district had been created there
were petitions present for special
tax election in both districts.
The consolidation of special tax
district No. 7 with Smithfield Grad
ed school as made one year ago was
declared permanent by the Board.
A settlement was made by the
Board with the County Treasurer and
accounts credited for the past quar
ter. After disposing of a number of
minor matters the Board adjourned.
?
Betterment Work.
From Carter's school house, dis
trict No. 1, Boon Hill township. Miss
Lona Edgerton, teacher, reports $32
raised by the district with other im
provements as follows: The above
amount was raised by two entertain
ments?in one a contest and admis
sion fees charged and the other be
ing a box party. We sold ice-cream,
cake, pickles, fruit, etc., and raised
a nice sum. By the funds raised,
and by the aid of some betterment
funds from last year, and by the aid
of some voluntary work by patrons
and friends of the school, the school
house was both painted and ceiled.
We had left $6.00 which will be us
ed in some further improvement.
Several stumps in the yard were
taken up by the boys.
From District No. 1, white, Beulah
Miss Cora Sasser reports as net re
sult of entertainment for betterment
$14.32. This amount with $12.85 rais
ed in the district by the teacher
last year, with some aid from the
district funds were expended in the
purchase of 20 patent desks for the
school. There were improvements in
school grounds also.
From District No.3, white, Meadow
township, Miss Mary L. Dunn, teach
er, reports $17.23 raised by better
ment effort. $10 of the money rais
ed was for the school's part of a
$30 library. The remainder was
spent for a book-case. Yards were
cleaned up and also the school was
continued one month by private sub
scription.
In District No. 4. white. Meadow,
Miss Hudson, teacher, was raised $10
as school's part of $30 library.
In District No. 6, white, Oneals,

Seasonable Dishes.
Rice eggs: Boil rice and season it
with both salt and pepper and with
two spoons form it into egg shapes.
It must be slightly cold before this
can be done. Put these in a butter
ed baking dish and pour over each
melted butter and brush each one
with beaten egg yolk mixed with a
little water. This gives a delicate
yellow tinge to the eggs. With this
course serve Parker house rolls and
bread-and-butter plate.
Rhubarb sherbet: Cook rhubarb
?without peeling, sweeten it well, add
orange juice to taste and - a little
gelatine in the proportion of one
teaspoon to three cups of sherbet.
Strain, add one beaten egg white to
two cups of the mixture and freeze.
Serve in glasses and garnish with
candied kumquats, one in each glass.
The salad, though simple, Is excel
lent for this season.
Radish and carrot salad: Peel the
U;ig radishes and cut them in slivers
no bigger than a match: make a nest
of these on a bed of lettuce, place
two or three carrot eggs in each
nest and pour over all a cream may
onnaise. The carrots should be j
scraped then steamed and salted <
while steaming. When cold cut
them into balls with a large-sized po
tato-ball cutter and with a sharp
knife trim them to resemble eggs.
Serve with these slices of cream ]
cheese mixed with any snappy yel- f
low cheese in yellow rings. These t
are made by pressing the cheese, 1
after the two kinds are blended Into
the empty skins of the very smallest
oranges, lemons or mandarins and
then chilling them. When ready to
serve cut in thin slices and lap them
in a circle on a pretty plate. Small,
unsweetened wafers may also be
served.
Paprika chicken: Clean and truss
a fat chicken. Stuff it with bread
crumbs, onions and herbs and bind
together the stuffing with the yolks I
of eggs. Tie on the breast slices of I
lemon and salt pork, then wrap in
oiled paper. Add one whole onion,
one clove and some chopped parsley
and enough white stock to cover
it. Cook tightly covered for an hour.
Strain the sauce, add one cup hot
cream, some butter, the yolk of an
CKg, a little parsley and a liberal
amount of paprika?enough to tint
? he same pink and to taste strongly
of the condiment. Pour over the
chicken when done, and serve In a
d>} p dish w'th a border of well
cooked rice. ?From Good House
keeping.
Thoughts of Love and Spring.
It is not easy to find one brave
enough to play the game of love
quite alone with you, but they must
get some third person or world fo
countenance them. They thrust oth
ers between. Love is so delicate
and fastidious that I see not how
it can ever begin. Do you expect
me to love with you unless you make
my love secondary to nothing else?
Your words come tainted if the
thought of the world darts between
thee and the thought of me. It goes
alone unscared through wildernesses.
* * *
As soon as I see people loving
what they see merely, and not their
own high hopes that they form of
others, I pity them and do not want
their love. Did I ask thee to love
me who hate myself? No! Love
that which I love, and I will love
thee that loves it. The love is faint
hearted and short-lived that is con
tented with the past history of its
object. It does not prepare the soil
to bear new crops lustier than the
old. I would I had leisure for these
things, sighs the world. When 1 ;
have done my quilting and baking,
then I will not be backward. Love
never stands still, nor does its ob
ject. If I know what I love, it is
because I remember it.
? ? ?
I hear the bluebird, the song-spar
row and the robin, and the note of
the lark leaks up through the mead
ows, as if its bill had been thawed
by the warm sun. As I am going to
the woods I think to take some
small book in my pocket, whose au
thor has been there already, whose
pages will be as good ae my thoughts
and will eke them out or show me
human ljje still gleaming in the ho
rizon when the woods have shut out
the town. But I can find none. None
will sail as far forward into the bay
of Nature as my thought. They stay
at home. I would go home. When
I get to the wood their thin leaves
rustle in my fingers. They are bare
and obvious, and there is no halo
or haze about them. Nature lies
fair and far behind them all.
? ? ?
I hear nothing but a phebe, and
the wind, and the rattling of a chaise
in the wood. For a few years 1
stay here, not knowing, taking my
own life by degrees, and then I go.
I hear a spring bubbling near where ]
I drank out of a can in my earliest !
youth. The birds, the squirrels, the (
alders, the pines, they seem serene
and In their places. 1 wonder if my
life looks as serene to them too.
Does no creature, then, see, not on
ly with the eyes of its own narrow
destiny, but with God's? When God
made man, he reserved some parts
?nd some rights to himself. The eye
has many qualities which belong to
3od more than man. It is his light
ning which flashes therein. When I
look into my companion's eye I
Lhink it is God's private mine. It
is a noble feature; it cannot be de
graded. For God can look on all
things undeflled.
* ? ?
The great and solitary heart will
love alone, without the knowledge
)f its object. It cannot have society
n its love. It will expend Its love
is the cloud drops rain upon the
'ields over which it floats. The on
y way to speak the truth is to
speak lovingly. Only the lover's
words are heard. The intellect
should never speak. It does not ut
ter a natural sound. How trivial
he best actions are. I am led about
rom sunrise to sunset by an ignoble
-outlne, and yet can find no better
'oad. I must make a part of the
planet. I must obey the law of
S'ature.?From Thoreau's "Early
Spring in Massachusetts."
