There are two conceivable objects in the study of any snbject. They are; First, the necessity or usefulness and the practicality of the thing studied; second, the exercising of certain power# and capabilities, so as to serve a real educational purpose. The object of geometry is to Investi­ gate the properties of space. The first step must consist in establishing those f undamental properties from which all others mast follow by processes of reasoning. They are all laid down in axioms and ought to form snch a system that nothing need be added to them to fully characterize space and nothing may be left oat without making the system incomplete. They mast, in f act, define space. One of the first and the most impor­ tant considerations, in geometry, as well hh in all mathematical s*.ndy, is thoro- ness. In the past the lack of tboroness has caused many a scholar to dislike and wen to hate his studies. When- ©vera subject is not well nnderstood.it is not well liked; whenever it is well understood it is most generally liked. Geometry not only resembles arith­ metic in being an art and having useful, practical applications, but also in fur­ nishing disciplinable and intellectual ex­ ercise. Demonstrative geometry, par­ ticularly, has a value for this latter pur­ pose and has been very generally recog­ nized; but the claims of practical geom­ etry appear to deserve more considera­ tion than they generally receive. Every­ one should learn to use compasses and rulers. He should draw simple geomet­ rical figures as well as talk about then*, and Recognize their properties. He should know how to measure angles and lines and to construct ordinary plane figures. In the best schools of Germany, France and Switzerland these simple things are taught to every scholar as a matter of course. Of the many ways and methods of teaching the different branches of math­ ematics, the method in which the pupil's mind does the work is the best. It con­ siders the numbers one to ten sufficient to engage the attention of a child dur­ ing the first year of school, In regard to extent, *the scholar has not appar­ ently gained very mnch--he knows only the numbers from one to ten, but he knows them. Or as Mr. Wentworth, one of the greatest writers of mathe­ matical textbooks, during the last few years says, "To learn by doing and to learn one step thoroly before the next is attempted, constitutes pretty much the whole story." So geometry, like arith­ metic, shonid be taught sparingly at a time, but for many years in succession. The name of the science of geometry originally signified the art of measuring land. Herodotus, the earliest authority on the subject, assigns the origin of it to the necessity of measuring lands in Egypt for taxation. Of the state of the science among the Chaldeans and Egyptians, however, we have no records. The art was brought to Greece from Egypt by Thales, who was himself a great discoverer in geometry. The Greeks, on account of its use in archi­ tecture, at once took keenly to the art and various disciples of Thales excelled in it. Plato, one of the greatest of these, built an academy at Athens, over the door of which he placed the Latin in­ scription, "Let no one ignorant of geom­ etry enter here." Prom this academy proceeded many famous men who great­ ly advanced the science. The name of Euclid marks another epoch in the his­ tory of geometry. His fame lies in the writing of a book named "Elements," w'uiuu uc COiwuuCtou bj dSiHGISStrstiiig the labors of his predecessors. It is on this work, written over 2000 years ago, that our present science of geometry is founded. The Greeks, altho subjugated by the Romans, never gave up the study of the art and at the time of the down­ fall of the Roman empire, 476 A. D., they were still diligently at work on it." The rise of the Mohammedan power in the seventh century hastened the ex­ tinction of many Greek sciences, but the art of geometry, being so valuable to architects, was at no times in any great danger. About a century later, after it had been introduced into Arabia, the Arabians, realising the importance of the art, took to it and immediately became the most zealous patrons and cultivators of the science. From the ninth to the fourteenth century many geometricians were produced and it was thru them that mathematical sciences were again restored to Europe later on. So from the fourteenth century to the present time, a great many men have •pent their lives adding some new ideas to the science and correcting what few errors their earlier fellow-workers had made, and today we have a nearly per­ fect art from which arises many ways of working oat problems that appear to ns every day of our lives. Now, if it should happen that a man was planning to construct a rectangular lot, of which he knew the area, he would refer to the formula L x B"S; that is, the number of son are feet in the lot would be the product of the number of feet in length by the number of feet in width If in another instance it was necessary find the capacity of a spherical shaped body of a known radius, we would qped the formula V-pi D3, meaning, the number of cflkic feet in the body equal to the cube of the diameter mnlti plied by 3.1416. The most used and maybe the most important one is in finding the altitude or side of a right triangular shaped object. By the ma nipulation of the formula A4-BP pins 0% or the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the nquares of the other two sides, we could $ud the size ot any part we wanted to. Iwn in tha conatmction of arches and domes, or any properly braced work of civil engin­ eering, in order to give to the piece of work a certain shape and a lasting qual­ ity, the knowledge of geometry is neces sary. So when we are studying geom­ etry in the high school we are at the same time studying these ways, which we will find of very great value to ns in practical application. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. 1 al of •" • i from The P , . *nne 18, 1M4. John Stroner, the West Side'tioot aiitt shoe maker, has purchased the building lately occupied by Tripp Bros, as a wagon shop, and fitted up the same for a shop. G. H. Clayson has pat up two clover dryers in Johnsbnrgh, and is now re­ ceiving clover blossoms at' that point, Clayson is a veterap in this business, and understands it thoroly. S. 8. Shephard and son, who have three clover dryers in this village, took in ten thousand pounds of clover on Saturday last. This is but the begin­ ning of the season, and a small day's re ceipts in comparison with what will soon get. H. C. Mead, who lives just west of thie village, sold to R. C. Jefferson on Monday last six fillies, two and three years old, for the handsome sum of $700. When we consider that they were all taken from the pasture and had never been broken at all, we call this a good sale. A game of base ball was played in this village on Friday last between the Waucocda clnb and a picked nine from this village, which resulted in a score of 27 to lo in favor of McHenry, As we have said before, McHenftr has the material for a first-class nine.

Your other organs may need at­ tention, but your kid­ neys most, because they do most and should have attention first. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understand how quickly your en­ tire body is affected and now every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly,** begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con­ vince you of its great merit. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. -It stands the highest because its remarkable health restoring properties have been proven in thousands of the most distress­ ing cases. " If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in fifty-cent and one-dol­ lar' sizes. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you H<W» oTSSSap-awc how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghatnton, N. Y. Don't make any mis­ take, hut remember the name, Swamp- Root, and don't let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root--if you do you will be disappointed. Women Who Are Envied. - Those attractive women who are lovely in face, form and temper are the envy of many, who might be like them. A weak, sickly woman will be nervous and irritable. Constipation or Kidney poisons show in pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched complexion. For all such, Electric Bitters work won­ ders. They regulate Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, purify the blood; givef strong nerves, bright eyes, pure breath, smooth velvety skin, lovely complexion. Many charming women owe their health and beauty to them. 60c at N. H. fiet- esch's, F. Masquelet's and others. Watch the label upon your paper, as yoar name may be next to be taken from our list.

A Thrilling Rescue. How Bert ft. Lean; of Cheny, Wash., was saved from a frightful death is a story to thrill the world. "A hard cold," he writes, "brought on a desperate lung trouble that baflied an expert doctor here. Then I paid $10 to $15 a visit to a lung\ specialist in Spokane, who did not help me. Then I went to California, bnt without benefit. At last I used Dr. King's New Discovery, which com­ pletely cured me and now I am as well as ever."
