The fifth annual session of the Minnesota Ed
ucational association, consisting of the leading
educators of the State, was begun in the house
of representatives in the State capital on Tues
day evening by an address from Prof. Downey,
in favor of leadership and organization. The
lecturer referred at some length to the worlds
wel-known leaders in politics, war, religion,
science and education, and concluded his lecture
by contending that the world is not so far adj
vanced but there are still great leaders wanted.
We should seek to find the right way. While
we should follow no man blindly, we should not
hesitate to follow when others lead in the right
direction.

Prof. G. A. Grimmer, of Kingston, ia

made some wonderful prophecies. in con-
nection with the action of the planets and
other heavenly bodies. Hesays Of the Star
of Bethlehem" In 1887 the Star of Beth
lehem" will be once more seen in ''Casse
pia's chair, and will be accompanied by a
total eclipse of the sun and moon. The
star only makes it's appearance every 315
years. 1t will appear and illuminate the
heavens, and exceed in brilliancy even Ju-
piter when in opposition to the sun, and,
therefore, nearer to the sun and brightest.
The marvellous brilliancy Of the 'sStar of
Bethlehem in 1887 will surpass any of it's
previous visitations It will be seen even
by MONDAY, shining with a quick, flashing
light the entire year, after which it will
gradually decrease in brightness and finally
disappear, not to return to our heavens I'M
til 2202, or 515 years after 1887. The star
first attracted the attention of modern as
tronomers in the year 1875. 1t was then
called q new star. It was no new star, how
ever, for this was the star which shone so
brightly B. c., and was the star that IL
lumined the heavens at the nativity of
Christ.

Food for Fat People.

There are three classes of food-the oils,
sweets, and starches-the special Office of
which is to support the animal heat and
produce fat, having little or no influence in
promoting strength or muscle or endurance.
If the fat therefore, would use less fat and
more of lean meats, fish ana fowl, less of
fine flour, and more Of the whole product
of the grains except the hull-less of the
sweets, particularly in warm weather, and
more Of the fruit acids in a mild form, as in
apples, sleep less, be less indolent, and la
Dor more in the open air, the fat would dis
appear to a certain extext at least. with no
loss Of real health. In food we have almost
a perfect control in this matter, far better
than we can have in the use of drugs. If
we have too much fat and too little muscle,
we have simply to use less of the fat-form-
ing elements, and more Of the muscle food,
such as lean meats, fish and fowl, and the
darker portions of grains, ETC., with peas
and beans.

To HAVE SAUSAGE THE YEAR ROUND.
To do this you must fry the sausage as if
for use now, and then it must be placed in
jar, over which has to be poured hot lard
until all the sausage is completely covered.
Then cover very tightly. By doing this you
can have sausage all the year round that is
ju stas good as fresh.

annual address of President c. w. Smith. The
report of Prof Kiehle, especially that part of it
relating to the Quincy system" which has
been very generally discussed in educational
circles, and in the press for the past two years.
President Smith denied that the state of affairs
alleged to have existed in Norfolk county, Mas
sachusetts, before the Quincy system was adopt
ed existed in Minnesota, and most of the speak
ers took the same view. On Thursday the first
thing on the programme was Prof. Prlem's ad-
dress on the subject of music a Branch of Edu-
cation in the Public Schools. He said that of
all the various arts and sciences which man may
cul ivate and bring to perfection, no one appears
more congenial to him than the cultivation of
music The sentiment of the teachers seemed
to be entirely in favor of the theories he ad-
vanced.
The necessity for school supervision was
treated at great length by Prof. T. J. Marvin Of
the Minneapolis Academy He bore down very
hard on incompetent county superintendent.
Prof. J. W. Hancock led in the discussion of
the subject, followed by Prof: Miles, Prof.
nolds and Miss Burns, nearly all of whom heart
lily Endorsed the sentiments utterediby Prof.
Marvin Prof. Davidson was especially severe
on that class of county superintendent who
as matter of public policy, are defrauding the
counties that pay them for their services in
that they receive payment for services they do
not perform, and that they are engaged in other
business. He thought the legislature ought to
be asked to investigate and stop such work.
superintendent Burt defended the county super
intendents from the sweeping charges Of Prof.
Davidson.
Prof. Keyor spoke of the Importance of teach
ing political economy in schools, and Prof.
Moore endorsed his sentiments. Mrs. T. G.
Eccleston, of Winona read an address on 'sThe
kindergarten, the Basis of all Subsequent Edu-
cation" On motion of Prof Moore, vote of
| thanks was given Mrs Eccleston by the associ-
alton for her very interesting paper Prof.
Brooks read a paper on the subject Of 'Higher
| Education by the State, and, on motion of Prof
Knerr, the association gave him vote of thanks.
| The report of the committee on State high
| school law was read by Prof. Irwin Shepard,
| and, on motion of Prof. Knerr, the report was
accepted. The following nominations for Off
GERS for ensuing year were reported by the
nominating committee, and the vote being cast
by the secretary, they were elected: President,

other parts Of the plant act part similar to
that OF brain in lower animals. We are told
that the leaf of q carniverous plant which
has been motionless for hours will instantly
curve on being touched in most delicate
manner with piece of raw beef. In OBJ
serving the sleeping habits of certain plants
Mr.. Darwin by an ingenious continuance
held down the leaves which otherwise would
have returned to vertical or Sleep
ing position at night. The result was that
those leaves were frost bitten in a tempera-
ture which had no such effect on the leaves
that were allowed freedom to sleep. MIR.
Darwin thence concludes that the sleeping
of the plant is to it question of life and
death, the vertical position Of the leaves at
night protecting it from injurious effects
radiation and cold. Not less instructive
and suggestive are the researches into the
effects OF light upon certain forms of vege-
tation. Instances are given of the wonder
full sensitiveness of some plants to light.
The seedlings Of the Phaeris canariensis,
for example, are said to have power Of de-
tecting differences TO light which are map
preciable by the human eye, while they
sympathetically turn to the minutest point
Of light. Nor is the constant motion of
plants confined to any special state of ger
mination, for we learn that from year to
year since the tree first began to rise through
the ground the tip of each rootlet endeavors
to sweep small eclipses or circles, as far as
the surrounding earth permits All this
would seem to show that when we speak of
flowers "peeping, smiling, " and drink
ing dew" we express something more than
a mere poetical metaphor.

Plush Serpents- The Vagaries of Fashion.

A correspondent of the Nottingham, Eng,
EvenlnO Post draws attention to another
phase Of what may be termed geological
fashion. Here is the account referred to:
"Only few evenings ago, with strong
feeling of very natural repulsion, I saw
lady wearing round her naked throata snake
made Of metallic looking green plush, the
sleek materials horribly suggestive of the
Shiny folds of serpent, and whenever the
wearer moved her neck, the effect was that
Of hideous, wriggling viper, such as may
be seen any day in the reptile house in the
Geological Gardens, Regents Park. I for
got, when describing it to say the plush eff
figy had a painted head of black velvet.
Anything more Objectionable cpn hardly
imagine, and it would be gross misapplica-
ton of the word to style anything so repul-
sive an ornament.
"Clara Belle, says the Sunnyside Press,
has made a new departure She writes on
mems clothes very much in the same vein
that men have SO long employed when writ
ing of women's garments. She says that
pants are cut tighter and vests are worn
lower. She objects to great cold expanses
of shirt front at ball, and says that when
one wears low neck dress, and leans
against a man, it is so awful cold that it re-
minds her of sliding down hill in Vermont
winter.
Il am SO sorry to see you have been out
on such day, my dear, without rubbers,"
said middle-aged woman to young girl
whose little feet were only encased in French
CATERS when the streets were covered with
snow and ice; 1T does look as though you
were too poor to afford rubbers." This had
the desired effect, and the next time the
young lady went to town she wore her rub
bers much to the qualification of her moth
Ell, who had found warning of sickness,
persuation, ETC., quite unavailable. One
has to become worldly wise in dealing with
those who will recognize no higher wisdom

The suit of Amelia NJ. Hough, by her
husband, Lewis j. Hough, of Pennsyl-
vania, against Joshua W. Bryant, of
Caroline county, Md, claiming $40, 900
lamages for alleged SANDER to the title of
land, was called in the United States
Circuit Court in Baltimore for trial yester-
day.
Mrs. Hough, it is stated, owned land in
Caroline county subject to mortgage
held by Il Mr. Horscy, who had it sold at
mortgagee's sale. This sale was set aside
by the Court of Appeals, and the land
again advertised for sale. Shortly before
the sale was to come off Mr.. Bryant, who
was then attorney for Mrs. Hough,
received letter signed J. Brady Wilson,
Galloway county, KY, claiming certain
land called Fem Ridge, Fem Ridge
Corrected and the Brady land,'' and
stating that he intended to bring suit for
its recovery at the next term of the
