beauty that never belonged to them
before. As the study of astronomy
gives new and wonderful interest to
the stars, so does the study of botany
open new feelings of interest in the
flowers. To the young, especially, the
study offers more than perhaps any
other. Nor could the effect of such
study be otherwise than healthful,
whether considered morally, intellect
ually or physically. We cannot help
thinking that were some of the time
wasted in attempting to make prof.
Gent pianists of the young people who
have only mediocre ability in that line.
and who scarcely acquire anything
from the study other than an irradic-
able distaste for music in all its forms,
spent in gaining knowledge of the
forms of life that stand on every side.
the results would be far more satisfac-
tory. We do not wish to depreciate
the divine art Of music, but think that
the chances of ever gaining anything
from the study are less.

sTRA NOTES BYA WAYFARER.

The county Jail has again come to
the fore. Some official has reported it
in very bad condition. So it is, but,
unfortunately so, nobody wants to
tack on a new court house to the new
jail, and taxpayers do not like it.
went round Racine's new jail and
found it no better as jail than ours.
The whitewash was clearer, so was
the floor, but will that last? I visited
ElkhOrn jail, quite new, and fitted
with the patent iron or steel cage
cleaner, but no better as a jail than
ours. Humanity requires jail in
which juvenile offenders can be kept
separate from hardened criminals or
tramps, and women from both. To
make our jail fit for this purpose would
not require over two thousand dol
lars, If justly expended, and not
a taxpayer would or at least
need not squirm at his share.
Again it is wrong to keep men idle in
Jail. Whether it pays financially or
not, it will pay in the end Every day
a man is idle there he becomes worse.
If nothing better can be found out by
our officials, set them in pairs, one to
dig holes and another to fill them up.
| saw this put in practice once with
good success. Adopt the good rule
He that will not work shall not eat !"
If prisoner shirks his work keep
back his meal, and he will rather work
than lose his dinner or supper many
times. Crime is the result of mental
disease, and our Jail and its govern
ment should be built and ordained
with the view of curing the diseased
and not turn them loose on society
more diseased than ever.

SMART People.

There are some very smart people in |
this world, people who have more |
ability than is needed in the manage |
nent of their own affairs, and hence
they are constantly meddling in the |
affairs of other people. We have a |
few such people in this county, ard
this spring two or three of them have
been considerably worked up over a
trick" that the Superintendent and
some of the teachers played just before
the examination. The "trick" was
this: The Superintendent has a large
quantity of old examination questions
that have collected in the Office during
his own and Flett's and Briggs terms
of Office. and many which have been
received from other Superintendent
throughout the state. Teachers know
this, and when they have an advanced
class wishing to take a final examina-
ton, they often send to the Superin-
tendent for a lot Of questions which
he does not want to use, and in this
way give the class an examination
which is thorough and something SINH
lar to that which they will have to
take if they ever teach. During the
winter several teachers sent for ques-
tions, among others were F. ]. Mooney.
A. S. Carpenter, w. ]. Barnes, and
Maggie Wilson.
Some of orr busy-bOdys. hearing that
these teachers were using questions
which had been obtained from the
Supt., Immediately jumped at the con
clusion that something was wrong
and two or three of them have beer
industriously circulating the report
that these teachers had been supplied
with copies of the questions to be USED
at the examination. so that their pupil;
would be sure to pass. Not one single
question Of those sent to the teacher!
was used in the examination. O.
course these people will not feel asham
ed nor sorry when they find that the!
have been circulating a falsehood. /
is not in their natures to feel shame o
sorrow for anything they have done

REALTY OF AGE

Old age has its beauty as we'll as
youth. See that lovely old lady, silver
haired, with some of the fire of youth
still shining in her dark eyes, and
harmonizing rather than contrasting
with the dignity of age. She leans on
the arm of a manly young fellow, tall,
snnburnt, with a frank, kindly face,
and together they form a striking
picture. 1t is only middle age that is
hopelessly unpicturesque. Middle
aged men, as rule there are some
pleasant excep.ions), have an aspect
that repulses romance. They look of
the earth, earthly They appear to
have lost the faculty of enjoyment.
Youth is behind them, and the calm
and leisure of age unreached. It is a
sad and pitiful sight to see a woman
clinging to her lost youth by such sorry
devices as false " fronts and youth
full gowns. and kittenish ways. How
useless it is! How much better to
realize honestly and frankly that
youth-that glorious. happy, ffeeting
gift of the gods has gone forever, and
to turn firmly from it and look for the
beautiful things that are left in life

The death Of c. G. Washburn of La

months, occurred at Eutah Springs,

political, and industrial records of the
state. lie served in the capacity of
member of the House of Represen-
tateves before and since the war, and
came out of the Rebellion Major
General after four years of service.
In 1871, at the conclusion of his fifth
term in Congress, he became Governor
Of the State, and that he served but
one term in that capacity was due to
the falling off of Republican votes on
account of the disrepute attached to
the party over the discovery and ex-
position of fraud and corruption
among The Republican members of
Congress- He was succeeded by Mr.,
Taylor At this time he retired from
public life and devoted himself to his
private business, which was one Of the
most successful inthe northwest. It
is well known that Mr.. Washburn is
the member of family prominent in
the political affairs of the country for
the past forty years, comprising five
brothers Israel Washburn, of Maine
