The Largest, Best and Cheapest
Weekly in the World.

/
With the advent of new perfecting print
ing machinery into our business, we are en-
couraged to believe we can successfully carry
out a long cherished desire to furnish the
Weekly Blade direct to subscribers, postpaid,
for the very low price of One Dollar per
Year. While "Dolar Weekly" is no
new thing, it has never before been attempt
ed by any publisher in this country. to fur
nish so large and so good a paper as the
Blade for one dollar per year. Consequently
the announcement we now make will be
startling to the newspaper fraternity. We
therefore boldly and fearlessly declare that
from and after this date the price of The
Weekly Blade shall be, to any and all, rich
and poor, postpaid by mail, delivered at
| your very door, as it we're, ONE DOLLAR
per year. We do not calculate to reduce in
any way, either in size, quantity or quality,
but on the contrary shall continue to make
improvements at every opportunity, as has
been our rule The Blade is a household
necessity in every nook and corner of this
land, and nowhere can so much good reading
be found for the money. Any one of the
departments are worth the price of years
subscription. The series, "Nasby in Exile"
will run whole year, and Nasty never fails
to give value received. Just how much We
give for one dollar: In the first place we
publish all the news. Then there are Sc
rails, Poetry, Stories, Miscellany Young
Folks Department, Correspondence from all
the world, the best editorials in the English
language, Science, Religion, Politics, very
reliable Markets, and, finally, the best House
hold Department for the ladies ever pub
lished, all Of which, If published in book
FORM would during the year make library
worth one hundred dollars. At one dollar a
year we should double our circulation, and
shall be much disappointed if we do not.
] We cannot allow cash commission at that
price, but will allow one FREE copy for
every club of ten, and, by the way, club of
10 is easily raised for the Blade We want
every friend to raise us at least one club of
ten, and thereby secure your own copy free
of cost. We do not receive fractions of
year at this rate, but short-timc subscribers
should remit at the rate of ten cents month.
We cheerfully send specimen copies to any
address. Send us the address of dozen or
more of your friends to whom we can send
specimen copies. II makes no difference
how many papers you take, you should have
the Blade anyhow at this price. 1t is a dol
lar.wisely invested A On March 81 we
shall present nice library of 100 books to
the town having on that date the largest list
of subscribers 10 the Blade. A few Blade
subscribers in any town could take this libra
ny matter in hand, and in one day raise one
or two hundred subscribers. Remit your
dollar by money order or registered letter.

les O'Bean of Myer Hudgins, newly
elected member of the Missouri Legis-
lature, and who is visiting Austin for
his health.
IL did it to bring disgrace on my

tells us the following good story, which
goes to show that the average Austin

qaphy was given recently in Chicago.
Telegraph and telephone wires were
placed in a conduit which WA one mile

passed along tho latter without any in
reference whatever IN the way Of in
duotion from tho electric current. The
conduits arc OF iron, and the conductors
are insulated. Tho experiment was wit

10 teachers and TO parents we recon.
mend the perusal Of an article entitled
''The Contonts Of Children's Minds, y
written by Mr.. G. S. Hall, and publish
Cd in the last number of the Princeton
Repiew MIR. Halls conclusions are that,
ut the beginning Of child's sehool-life
there is very little Of pedagogic value, the
knowledge Of which IL Is safe for the
teacher TO assume For this reason there
is great need Of object.lessons, and honce
tho danger Of examining tho awakening
mind with empty words. In Germany,
where pedagogy is studied thoroughly
by those being educated for teachers, it
is the general rule for primary teachers
to spend from two TO six months in tell
ing children about things, and in draw
ing them, before making beginning of
what among rs is very generally looked
upon rs the work Of the primary-sohool.
The bost preparation for school child
can havo is little care exercised By his
parents in making him acquainted with
naturul objects, the sights brought be-
fore his eyes, the sounds that como to
his ears.
Mr.. Hall has made IN attempt to find
out something about what children do
know when they are sent to school.
About ono hundred and thirty children
Of average intelligence, extremes being
avoided, in the primary schools OF Bos-
ton itself, were questioned by kindergar-
ten teachers Of experience. Very remark-
ablo results were obtained. From eighty
three to ninety-two per cent. of the lit
tie ones did not know what growing
wheat, elm tree, maple and the like,
are. Almost as few knew the location Of
their "ribs, lungs, ankles and waist. .
Only eight per cent knew what trian-
gle is, though sixty-hvc OF q hundred
wero acquainted with the circle, Eighty
per cont. were aware OF thu origin
OF milk-a somewhat remarkable in
stance of knowledge IN city child, by
the way. Less than half Of the chit
dren knew that wooden thingu came from
trees, and only seven in hundred that
leathern things came from animals.
Nearly half of them named three things
1t is right to do, and three It Is wrong
to do, the wrong being specified much
more readily and in greater variety In
no case, however, were right thinga and
wrong confounded, In this, too there
was marked difference between the
girls and the boys. In naming right
things the girls named specific acts more
often than the boys; in naming wrong
things they named conventional acts
twice az often as the boys did. Some OIL
the ideas of these children concerning
thunder, lightning, rain and clouds
were strikingly odd Thunder was said
to be God grooming, walking loud break

Our civic authorities seem determined
to enforce the ordinance which forbids
driving over the East Los Angelica bridge
at gait faster than walk. A con-
spicuous notice OF what will befall him
who transgresses in this respect, has
always been posted on the structure
itself, but not one man in q thousand
ever pays any attention TO it. People
are complaining that they are now
restrained from driving at any speed
they choose over the bridge, alleging
that it is public property, and that the
public may use il up as quickly or NJ
slowly as it will This is peculiar logic
1t is said also that fast driving cannot
injure bridge Of that kind. While it
is true that the rapid transit Of single
light buggy over the bridge in question
might not damage 1t to any material
extent, the passage of several buggies in
quick succession would do so for the same
reason that tho continuous passage of q
large body of troops keeping step would
injnre it. Troops are ordered to break
step and to march at will, while crossing
wooden bridge. Moreover, no dis
elimination can be made by the law in
favor of light bugges. The driver of a
heavily laden wagon or truck, should
have an equal right, if he wished to ex.
ercise it, to drive over the bridge at the
speed he might choose to adopt, The
practice of trottiug the horses drawing a
truck, with its load, several hundred
weight, over any wooden bridge, would
very soon damage it very materially.
1t must be conceded that the civic eu-
thorities are right IN insisting upon ODE.

time the width Of Dowuey avenue is
greater than that of the bridge. aud
