''''S''es"'''ses
The visit of Prof. G.. w. Benton last
the Morris school is entitled to place
upon the list of state high schools, and to
the $500 given by the state to such schools,
or not, has awakened new interest in that
institution. About year ago application
was made to the high school board for the
benefits to he derived from the state high
school law. Answer was received that if
this school would comply with the condi.
tons of the act it should receive the amount
of the appropriation. In addition to nam
ing the regulations for the organization of
high schools the local board was directed
to proceed as follows:
l. direct your principal to procure the
certificate of the high school board APP
ply to President VIM. w. Folwell, Univer.
sity of Minnesota, examiner,
2. Provide room for your high school,
g. Examine, ifnot already done, every
member of the high school in studies re
quired in the regulations.
A. See that you have at least twenty pupils
in your high school, of which number at
least five are in the preparatory class, TAX
ing the course of study prescribed by the
board
S. Before the end of the term report in
good season all classes prepared for exam
nation.
6. When questions under seal are sent
you, see that tee examination is conducted

Let the principal examine all papers and
mark as the blanks to be sent shall direct
Let him then forward to this office all
papers belonging to students of the pre-.
paratory class, and preserve tie remainder
rntil the end of the year for the inspection
of the board.
z. Your school will be visited during the
year by the board, or its committee, to
learn whether it is conducted as a high
school in good faith.
s. Remember that these regulations arc
designed to insure efficient preparatory in
struction in bona fide high schools, and
any violation will be interpreted as dis
position to evade the law, in which case
all claims to the apportionment will b.
considered forfeited

There are more fools than sages; and

Hope is like the sun, which, as We
journey toward it, casts the shadow of
our burden behind us.
There is three ways of getting out of
a scrape-write out, back out, and the
best way is to keep out.
When death, the great reconciler,
has come, it is never our tenderness
that we regret, but our severity.
The influence of trusting children is
sometimes the most subtle oil that can
be thrown on the troubled waters OF
life.
One OF the best rules in conversation
is snever to say anything which any of the

Egg-FOOd.

The Science Monthly contains some
new facts concerning the use OF eggs
as food. They are of special interest.
One is that the eggs, even of animals
which impress us most unpleasantly,
have their value as food, and seem to be
capable of inspiring relish in the pal
ates of those who have learned to eat
them. The eggs of the terrapin and OF
several species of the tortoise are ex-
cellent for eating, nutritious and agree
able to the Taste and those of the
green turtle are held in great esteem
wherever they are found. The mother
turtles lay three times q year,
depositing sometimes as many as
hundred eggs at laying,
and carefully covering them up with
sand, so that it requires an experienced
searcher to detect them. The Indians
of the Orinoco and Amazon obtain from
these eggs kind of clear, sweet oil
which they use instead of butter.
About five thousand eggs are required
to fill one of their jars with oil, yet 80
abundantly are they deposited that
about five thousand jars are put up
yearly at the mouth of one OF the rivers.
The harvest is estimated by the acre.
Young eggs are frequently found in
the bodies OF slain turtles by
hundreds, in all stages of devel-
opment, and generally consist
ing entirely of yolk. They are often
preserved by drying, and are considered
great luxury. Alligators' eggs are
esteemed by the natives of the regions
where those reptiles abound /; and Mr..
Joseph, in his " History of Trinidad"
says that he found the eggs of the cay
man very good. The female alligator
lays from 100 to 100 eggs; they are
about as large as the egg of turkey,
and have rough shell, filed with
thick albumen. One OF the lizards,
known as the iguana, is capable
OF furnishing as many as fourscore
eggs, which, when boiled, are
like marrow. The larve and
nymphe of ants are considered by many
people choice relish when spread upon
bread and butter, and are said to be ex-
cellent curried. In Siam they ara
highly esteernei, and are so valuable as
to be within the reach of only the rich.
In some parts OF Africa, where ants
swarm, they are said to form at times q
considerable portion of the food supply.
They are used in some countries Of Eu-
rope for making formic acid, and ara
subject to an import duty. The eggs
of insects belonging to q group OF
aquatic beetles are made in Mexico into
q kind OF bread or cake called hautle,
which is eaten by the people. and may
be found in the markets. They are got
by means Of bundles of reeds or rushea
which are put in the water and on
which they are deposited by the insects
Brantz Mayer, about forty years ago
noticed men on the lake of Tezcuoo
collecting the eggs of flies, which, he
saws, when cooked in cakes were not
different from fish-epawn, having the
same appearance and flavor. "After
the frogs OF France and che birds nests
of China, I fancy they would be con-
sidered delicacies, aud 1 found they
were not disdained on the fashionable
tables of the capital" Accord g to the
report OF the commissioner Of agricul-
ture of 1870 the larvn Of : large fiy

The unfortunate animals imported to
England from America, says the 81. James
Gazette, still continue to suffer untold
misery during their passage across the
Atlantic. From the United States there

Glasgow, Hartlepool, Hull, Liverpool,
London and South Shields, 473 cargoes
of animals, consisting of 1O3, 693 cattle,
1922 sheep and 1,773 swine; of which
176 cattle, 9G sheep and 10 swine were

One little touch Of superstition, o.

will not tend to diminish that super
stition, was noticed in connection with
the death of Gltibaldi. So soon as his
death was publicly announced, all the

the dates and hours thereof we're freely
played in the public lotteries of Italy.

The brothers Tocci, born in Turin,
Italy. in 1877, are considered to be even
more curious than the famous Siamese
twins. They have two well-formed
heads, two pairs of arms and two tho.
races, with all internal organs, bat at
the level of the sixth rib they coalesce
into one body. They have one right
and one left leg. 1t is curious fact
that the right leg moves only under the
control of the right twin (named Bap-
tiste), while the other is movable only
by the left twin (named jacob As a
result, they are unable to walk. The
left foot is deformed, and is an example
of tslipes equinus. Each infant has
distinct moral personality; one cries
while the other is laughing; one is
awake while the other sleeps. When
one is sitting up, the other is in posi-.
tion almost horizontal.
