LAKE HANSKA WAITS.

Some, perhaps, will be surprised to
see the Lake Hanska Waits reappea1
in the REVIEW, rs they long before
this must have come to the conclusion
that their originator must have passed
into q state Of inactiveness or totally
! ceased to exist. To disprOve the first
we shall offer no arguments az we
don't care Il great deal; to disprove
thesecOnd no arguments are necessary
as the temperance Of the Waits fur.
nlshes conclusive proof that the orr
ginator does exist as there can be nc
effect without it's cause. q
y Norwegian school has been com.
menced in the northern school house
with Mr.. Berghust as teacher. This
perhaps is we'll enough but we venture
the opinion that English school would
have been greatl, more beneficial. We
can't help believing that the sooner
the different nationalities are moulded
into me, l. g. become Americans, the
better for them. 1t would remove that
terrible barrier Of national prejudices.
AS long as immigration from the
European countries continues at its
present rate, this becomes impossible,
and as there are no signs that immi-
grafton will stop, we are in faver of
having the children learn to read Nor.
wegian and study Norwegian litera-
ture, but we are opposed to the present
mode of teaching religion in the
school. The religious text books used
are drawn up in form Of Biblical ques-
tions with answers from a sectarian
point of view, which are proved by
verses from the scripture. Our objec-
tions are many, among others this that
children are compelled to commit to
memory what they do not understand,
what lies way beyond their compre-
tension. 1t is remarkable fact that
small children are expected to conpre-
bend things which are embarrassing
and puzzl1ng to scriptural expounders.
It is a terrible violation of the Pesti.
lozzian principles and all modern
methods of teaching. OF course it
makes children dull and disgusted-
mentally sick, just as indigestable food
would make them sick physically. But
even if they understand what they
read, we think an education that would
do them some good in this world, en-
able them TO become good and useful
citizens Of our great Republic, vastly
preferable.

Vitality Of oeed.

In digging we'll near Glencoe
in Mcleod county, Minnesota, wild
buckwheat seed was found 40 feet
under the surface. 1t was discov-
cred in a kind Of pocket in the
earth. The ground was apparently
in a primitive condition both above
and below where the seed was de.
posted. It must have been there
for hundreds of years, and yet
when thrown out with the dirt the
seed sp1outed and brought forth
the most massive weeds that ever
graced a farm. We have noticed
different varieties of timber spring
up spontaneously on the prairies,
30 or 40 miles from the nearest
forest, upon land that had escaped
prairie fires for two or three years.
No one knows how long the seed
had been planted in the soil, and it
is pretty certain, could the prairie
fires be prevented from making
their annual visitations, that in a
few years the prairies of western
Minnesota. northern Iowa and
southern Dakota would be covered
with young forest ees.-Ltchfeld

The treasury department. has
sounded" the tobacco, snuff, cigar

whether they would reduce prices
after May list to the full extent of
the tax. Quite a number of the
manufacturers evede a direct an

firms say they will reduce to the
extent of the reduction of the tax,
that is S. per 1000 on cigars, $1.25
per ] 200 on cigarettes, and S cents
