Z. Yes, as "uphill'' simply denotes
that one point is more distant from
the earth's centre than another. The
mouth of the Mississippi river is
about pa miles further from the Gen.
tire of the earth than its course. Were
the earth to stand still in its daily
rotation, the Gulf of Mexico would
send it's waters back through the
Mississippi TO the northern regions;
but the centrifugal force produced by
the revolution of the earth on its axis
vunds to drive the waters from the
poles oward the equator.
s. There are three ways in which
a bill may become law:
/. 1t may pass both houses and be
signed by the governor; 2, it may pass
both houses, be vetoed by the govern
or, and be passed over his veto by a
two-thirds majority of each house; 3,
it may pass both houses and the gov
ernor fail to sign it within three days,
when these are not at the close of
the session..
There are four ways in which bill
may be lost:
/. II may not get majority i'll the
assembly,; ., it may not get majority
in the senate; 3, it may be vetoed by
the governor and not passed over his
veto by the legislature; 4, it may be
''pocketed by the governor during
the last three days of the session.

Our st. Paul Visit.

Having some time for Improvement
out side of school, we determined to
spend few days in the city of st.
Paul. That city is good place In
which to have an excellent time in
almost any way winch person de-
sires.
We landed in st. Paul in the after
noon, and the first object of interest
was place to stay. We were school
teachers, They never stop at hotels
if they have friend in the city. So
we enquired for our old friend and
benefactor, II. s. Baker. Well, we
found him, just as we expected, at
work in good earnest.
Arriving too late to visit schools
that day, we waited over until next
day and in the interim had an excel
lent time listening to Hamlet as play
ed by Y. W. Keene, and enjoyed il
very much.
We spent all of the next day in st.
Paul's best graded school, the Frank
lin, of which Ii. S. Baker is Principal.
We found large school filled with d
faculty of seven instructors. Mr..
Baker ''showed us around. We
found the pupils infused with enthu
siasm and interested III every thing
We observed all the work with inter
est and satisfaction. From the lowest
grade to the highest, we found excel
lent management. Mr.. Baker not
only shows himself in this to be
perfect master of his position, but is
continually raising the standard OF
first-class supervision. He has the
confidence of his teachers and pupil.
and thus, while it is easy for him t.
govern, it is pleasant for teacher ana
pupil. We learned much concerning
this one point of doing SO well that al
must obey.
There is faculty meeting in tht
Franklin once week. At this meet
ing all the work, dicipline and teach
ing, Is discussed and directions il
management are given. This has thu

In pernsing the Goodhue County
Republican, very good paper, of
which we see occasional numbers, we
came across some interesting articles
in the form Of discussion between
the Editor and member of the w. C.
II. IT,, in regard to the liquor business;
and while the correspondent is strong
for temperance. we think she has
failed to bring out some features of
the case even from a money stand
point. We deny that, leaving out the
evils to morals and looking at it from
a financial point of view, even then it
can be shown to be an advantage in
the long run. 1t is no advantage for
the producer to get few cents more
per bushel for his grain and then pay
it out in taxes which are more than
doubled by the sale Of liquor as a
beverage. 1t is assuming what is
false to say that the employees of
liquor makers and vendors would be
idle if not thus employed or would go
to work and raise so much more pro-
duce and thus glut the market. There
are other places besides the farm for
them to be employed and still remain
consumers. The world and its indus
tries do not stand still. New industries
are constantly growing up from new
inventions. Take the telegraph for an
example. In 1914 we had no tele
graph. See now the army of consum-
ers that find employment by it's uses.
We claim that no man can deny, that
while our age gives its great minds,
who invent and plan to construct
many things that are helping contin-
ually to swell the amount of labor to
be done, but for the sale and con-
sumption of liquor, we should make
still more progress: for the drinking
of liquor robs the country of the adj
vantages which might accrue from the
thinking and working of many mau's
brain, who, if sober might give to the
world other industries and avenues of
labor in which to earn living, while
the extinction of the traffic would go
far to beget an economy which would
save more than the earnings. Again
we say there is no advantage in it and
it only causes waste of mind, body,
soul and property, and that contin-
ually, and in an ever increasing ratio.

The legislature seems to have
Numbered in its attempt to suppress
treating as well as upon many other
measures. The anti-treating law
purports to be an amendment to sec
ton 1856 of the revised statutes, and
it has been discovered that said Sec
ton was amended by chapter 3l2, laws
of 1880, which by implication repeats
1t. In other words, the anti-treating
law should have amended chapter 3l2,
laws of 1880, instead of section 1855
of the revised statutes, and for this
reason, in the case recently tried in
Milwaukee under this law, more re.
lance was placed by the counsel
opposing the law upon its invalidity
than upon its unconstitutionality.

Botany.

AS the time has now arrived in
which nature assumes her vernal
garb, it seems but right to address a
few words of encouragement to the
youthful teacher, who may mediate
teaching the beautiful science of
botany.
The spring-time is usually chosen as
the season for beginning this study,
as at this time we can see the plants
growing from the seed and gradually
developing their parts; and observe
the growing plants as they blossom,
bear fruit, and produce seeds like
those from which they grew.
THE TERMINATING PAINTER. We
will briefly outline the growth of the
sugar maple, (the seed of which the
pupils of any school can secure1. We
observe that at first a pair Of narrow
green leaves raised on a tiny stem
makes up the whole plant at its first
appearance. Soon a root appears at
the lower end of this stemler; then Il
little bud at its upper end, between
the pair of leaves, which soon grows
into a second joint or stem bearing
another pair of leaves, resembling the
ordinary leaves of the red maple,
which the first did not.
The question now naturally arises,
was this plant formed in the seed at
the time of termination, or did it ex-
list before in the seed ready formed!
To decide this question, we have only
to lay open the coats of the seed with
a sharp knife. Having done this, we
will find within the seed, the PLANTER
ready formed, and nothing else; name
~ pair of leaves like those Of the
earliest Seeding, only smaller, born
on a stemlet just like that of the
Seeding, only Dluch shorter, and all
snugly coiled up within the protect.
ing seed-coat. We must then con-
clude that the plant then existed in
the plant beforehand in miniature, and
that it was not formed, but only de-
veloped in termination.
We are sorry that space compels us
to stop here; but from the brief out
line given, it seems as though every
teacher can see how he can make this
study the most interesting one in
school not only interesting, but also
very profitable to his pupils. When
the farmers, as class, become more
familiar with plant-life, then they
will be better able to farm with more
pleasure and profit to themselves than
they can possibly do at present.
