The proposition of the holders of
the Minnesota State railroad bonds to
accept much less than the face of the
same was submitted to vote of the
electors of that State on the 18th in
slant, and most gloriOusly defeated,
continuing our sister State before the
world as a repudIatOr of her just fl
nancial obligations. The st. Paul Dis
patch gives as one reason why the peo-
pie voted against the proposed COM
promise that the question was not
clearly stated nor adequately compre-
hended, which is cool suggestion to
say the least, in view of the fact that
for weeks before the election the press
of Minnesota teemed with arguments
for and against the proposed settle
ment; another reason urged is that
the time for discussion was too short,
though the question of paying the
bonds has been a moOted one since
their issue nineteen years ago. What
ever may have been the extenuating
circumstances, Minnesota couples a
very unenviable reputation in the f.
nancial world.

MUSIC.

In a letter written by Mr.. w. III.
Leib. the st. Paul music teacher, to
the Pioneer Press, in which he speaks
of musical festival just held in Chi.
cago. he uses the following language
at is lamentable that the right dis
position so rarely exists among the
musical people Of 2 community. With
submission, runctuality, ana self.f0r,
getfulness. society of singers may
accomplish much with even an Ordina-
~ director; but without these, there
will be no success. Let the singers of
our State mark il. that if they organize
to do anything in the way of choir,
chorus. or glee singing, first to settle
upon the foregoing points; it is the
only way to do good work, and the on
ly way in which the public can be in
terested."
How true Mr.. LIS. remarks as to the
''dispOsition" ofmusical people. Ev-
~ community is blessed % with few
sanity persons who consider them
selves too good to mix with the com
mon herd. The number of such per-
sons is fortunately, exceedingly small
in River Falls, and let it be said to the
credit of the great majority of our
musical people that they are ever
ready to give proof Of their "right
disposition.
As to the other points made by Mr..
Lsib. the condition of our Band is suf-
ficient proof, that constant practice of
those who have the spirit Of ''submis-
sion. punctuality, and forgetfulness. $
viii bring about desired results.
without any professional director. the
Band is fast becoming a credit 70 the
comIzmlity and ought to be Supported
BY al intelligent people.
The Musical Union, lately orgs.nized.

Of time. whether its members have

READING.



We can cheerfully indorse the principles
ennnciated below. Let the last idea of the
paper receive attention. 1t is corner stone
H. S. b.
Reading classes in our country
schools are not often formed with ref.
erence to the facility with which the
pupils are able to comprehend and
render intelligibly the thought before
them; but more generally on account
of the ability to call words rapidly at
sight. or, it may be, through the in
tluenee of the parent who is anxious to
graduate the child in the subject.
This. however, is not such an unfortu-
nate state of affairs as is generally
supposed. A little more skill is req
uisite to reach the needs of each mem
Der of the class.
The reason of much mechanical
reading is this: The teacher, not in
sympathy with the subject, bas no def
mite purpose in view, other than to

book-now and then correcting word
or an infection and the aimless ex-
ercise is closed to give place to some
important ca problem in Arithmetic
or rule of Grammar.
Three results are desirable in teach
ing Reading: lst, Distinct Articula-
ton; md, Correct Pronunciation Sd,
Proper Expression. Progress can be
made in all of these each day, if the
teacher has constantly in mind the end
in view. Every reader, of whatever
grade, has some selection which can
be made profitable to each member of
the class. Having made the selection,
the pupil must be required, not In a
general way, to study his lesson; but
to do specific amount of work in the
direction indicated. In recitation, ar
ticulation may receive attention by
vigorous exercise upon the oral ele-
ments, difficult combinations, etc.
The lesson itself may be an exercise of
this kind; with mouth open sufficient
ly; with life in the action of jaw,
lips, and tongue; even with exagger-
ated movements, let the oral elements
be given, the words clearly enunciat-
ed, or spelled by sound. Besides, let
this work be supplemented by black
board exercise of proper character.

HISTORY AND PROPER DEFINI-
TON OF WORDS.
BY CHARLES A. CARSON, A. NJ.

''Roue" is bad word, cleaning in
upon us from the misty light of GEN.
turtles. It's primal Specification is ''one
wheeled or broken on the wheel" A
certain French king collected around
him the slums of aristocratic dissi-
patton. each one of whom as he boast
ed deserved to be broken at the wheel.
These he called his ''roues." This
word is the only monument which he
has left. In the same way can we not
illustrate those words which the ter
rors of the French Revolution coined,
''Sans-culotte, incivisme, terrorisme,
noyaa, guillotine, lanterner and raz-
zial' 1t seems natural that man
should occasionally talkto himself but
it is a surprise to know that st. Au-
gustine first invented "soliloquy" $50
lloquium). Bacon, the Prince of Es-
sayists first used the word "essays" to
describe sketches written ON a variety
of subjects. Before Pythagoras the

men," but did he not make an infinite
Improvement on such phraseology
when he devised philosopher" lover
of wisdom. Does not such word en-
dear the author of ''pons asinorum' to
us. So modest. so beautiful, his life
showed him to be ga lover of wisdom"
Whether the word 'apocrypha, means
hidden, hidden away, or worthier to
be hidden has long been discussed by
ecclesiastlcs. Its history is an extend
ed one and would fill an agricultural
report. Then, as an instance of the
synonyms with which our master
tongue has become enriched take the
words s'trick, deceive, inesse. artifice
and strstagem." ''Triok' is saxon,
"devisa" Is italian, .'finesse" is
French, ''artifce" is Latin, and 'sstrat-
agema" Greek. How impressive a
word is trivial, derived from ''trcs
via, it charseterizes those who meet
at the "three roads" to discuss the
idle gossip of the day. For us as teach
ers what great truth Is unfolded in
the word ''diligence." It's etymology
from s'diligo" to love, is obvious. 1t
shows us that the only true secret of
diligence is love for work. Until this
becomes the main spring of our action
we shall not fully succeed at anything.
As the Treasurer of the Maiden Rock
school lately remarked to the writer,
This constitutes the chief difference
between men in the world, ''love for
work, diligence. This is what dis
tinguishes such men as Matt. H. Car
penter, Henry Ward Reecher. or s. J.
Tiiden from the common crowd. How
many of us would be willing to go
thro' the Herculean labors which have
characterized the upward march of
these men from obscurity to lmmor-
tally.

A CURIOUS REvELATIoN--lt will be
remembered that at the beginning Of
the Russo Turkish war Turkish iron
clad was sunk id the Danube, as was
supposed by the fire of Russian bat
terry, and that the gunner who fired
the fatal shot was decorated by the
Gar for his prowess. 1t has since
come to light that the Turkish iron
clad was not sunk by the Russians at
all, but that her destruction was
caused by the characteristic careless
ness of the commander, who permitted
the crew to smoke their pipes in front
of the open door of the powder maya
zine. Some loose powder being on
the deck, and one of the crew coolly
emptying the ashes of his pipe upon
it, the magazine exploded, and blew
the stern out of the vessel, which went
to the bottom forthwith. 1t happened
that Russian shell fell in the neigh
borhoOd about the same time that the
explosion occurred, and hence the mis-
take of the Russians. AS this account
is from the official report of the Turk
ish commander Of the ironcad it may
be relied upon, since it is obvious that
it would have been to his interest to
have Endorsed the Turkish version,
had it been the true one; his own &C
count rendering him liable to severe
punishment for what, under the other
state Of things. would have been no
fault OF his, bnt onl y the fortune Of
war. 1t is further stated, on good au-
thority, that the Russians have actu-
ally destroyed only one Turkish gun
boat on the Danube since the begin
ming of the war, and that the torpe-
does t! ey have set in tie river are so
poor that the eremy runs through
them with complete impunity. 1t
need hardly be said that there must
have been some extensive lying done
about the havoc wrought among the
Turkish fleet on the Danube Rec
ord Union.
