THE DIVISION.

Bro. Miller, of the Worthington Ad.
vance, is always seeing something in
every action of railroad men that is
going to do something for his town.
The last ''delusion'' that has struck
him is: Because Supt. Spencer has
moved his headquarters to Mankato,
the freight division will be removed
from st. james to Worthington. 1t is
a good scheme for his town if Bro. Mil.
Ter can Worry it through Sibley Tr,b.

Well. Bro. Dennis, it takes an editor
who is 4 little 'clairvoyant" and de
ludhcrin,' as the Iris'man says, to see
ahead and tell what's coming.
In this case, however, we did not

what were the actual facts up to that
date.
Since then we hear that it is pretty

freight employee on the road has sign
ed petition asking that the division
be located here. This would give the
boys chance for their lives and theil

Plants in Bedrooms.


The controversy as to keeping live plants in a
room at night continues to be carried on with
vigor and acrimOny. although most people have
probably supposed that it was long since set at
rest. Not SO very many years ago the danger
of keeping such things in bedroom was a good
deal pooh-poohed by practical persons who re-
garded the stories told in that connection as old
women's tales belonging to the same category
as the myth about sleeping under the moon, or
taking ciesta under Jew tree But then there
were published terrible accounts of fair danes,
who. despising the warning in question and de-
posting bouquets or flower pots in their rooms at
night. had met with fate almost as tragic as that
recorded in the doleful ballad Of ''The Mistletoe
Bough." Thereupon the scientific world, with
the whole crew Of unlearned folk at its heels.
rushed to. the opposite conclusion, and adopted
theory that illness and even death might re-
suit from sleeping in an apartment which was
adorned with living plants or fresh cuttings. And
now it turns out that in going as far as this we
have gone good deal too far. At a medical con-
ference recently held in France it was demon
strated to the satisfaction of all the savants
there present. that plants, as long as they are
plants only, may safely, and even with ad-
vantage be admitted to the elysium from
which they have 80 often been eXiled. These
pretty ornaments, as learned writer now de-
clares, ''far from being hurtful, are beneficial,
inasmuch as they exhale certain amount OF
ozone and vapor. which maintain healthy
dampness in the air, and besides that are de-
structive of the microbes which promote con-
sumptive tendencies in human beings. 1t il
only flowers, and not the plants which bear them,
that do the damage. Ferns are innOcuous;

bloom

How a Stage Ocean is Made.

Correspon dence Boston Herald.
The ocean of the stage is produced by num-
Der of boys lying on their backs beneath dark
cloth and working away with their legs and
arms. Mr.. Percy Fitzgerald mentions clever
instance of stage illusion in play called 1.-THE
Sea Of Ice." woman, with her child on a
frozen sea, is exposed to the treachery of the
yillain0f the story. 1t is wild arctic picture.
Presently the ice begins to break up, and after
a time the woman and her infant are floating
on block of Ice in the midst of a rolling sea.
The effect was produced in the simplest way.
''Strips Of whitened canvas. representing the
ice, were slowly drawn away to the right and
left, revealing water underneath, which was
represented by sheets Of perfectly black bomba-
zine. not green nor blue, as might be expected
The effect on the audience was entirely owing
to the contrast with the glazing white ice,
which the artist knew caused the waters below
to look of an tnky hue The result was founded
on ocular illusion, and therefore on true scenic
principles" There were the bows at work. of
course, under the cloth, and the iceberg on
which the fugitives f1oated away was wooden
PLATFORM that was drawn of through slit in
the bombazine ocean.
Real water has never been found to look SO
real on the stage as its artistic imitation. You
remember the story Of the low comedian who
carried under his arm bogus pig and squeaked
himself. rival tried the real thing, but it was
not so effective; the squeak did not seem SO
natural to the audience as the imitation.

When Advertising Is Wanted.

From the Bridgeport Post.
There's nothing on earth so mysteriously
funny as a newspaper advertisement The
prime. first last and all the time, object of an
advertisement is to draw custom. IL is not,
was not. and never will be designed for any
other human purpose. So the merchant waits
till the busy comes and his store is so full
Of customers he can't get his bat off, and then he
PUSHES to the newspapers and puts in his adVer-
tisenent. When the dull season gets along and
there is no trade and he wants to sell goods so
bad he can't pay his rent. he takes out his adver
tisement. That Is some or them do, but
occasionally a level-headed merchant puts in a
bigger one and scoops all the business, while his
neignbors are making mortgages to pay the gas
bill. There are times when you couldn't stop
people from buying everything In the store il
you planted cannon behind the door. and that's
the time the advertisement is sent out on its
holy mission. 1t makes light work for the adver-
tisement, for chalk sign on the sidewalk could
do all that was needed and have half holiday
six days in week. but who wants to favor an
advertisement. They are built to do hard work,
and should be sent out in the dull days when
customer has to be knocked down with hard
facts and kicked insensible with bankrupt re-
auctions and dragged in with irresistible
slaughter OF prices before he will spend cent
That's the aim and end Of an advertisement. and
II you ever open a store don't try to get them to
come when they are already sticking out OF the
windows, but give them your advertisement
right between the eyes In the dull season, and you
will wax rich and own a'fast horse, and perhaps
be able to smoke q good cigar once or twice
year. Write this down where you'll fall over 1t
every day. The time to draw business is when
you want business and not when you have
more business than you can attend to already.

The Silent Life.

Written for TIE EVENING STAR
We lead two hyes,-the outward seeming fair,
And full OF smiles that on the surface lie,
The other, spent in many silent prayer,
With thoughts and feelings hidden from the eye
The weary, weary hours Of mental pain,
Unspoken yearning for the dear ones gone,
The wishes, half defined, yet crushed again.
Make up the silent life we lead alone.
And happy visions we may never show,
Gid all this Silent life with sweet romance
That fade like sunset clouds, we know,
Yet life seems brighter for each stolen glance.
This silent life not those we love may share,
Tho day by day we strive to draw them close;
Our secret chamber-none may enter there,
Save that one Eye that never seeks repose.
And If beneath that Eye we do not quail.
Tho all the earth may turn from us aside,
We own secret power that shall prevail,
When every motive OF our life is tried

~ tHe fdIIoF OF IHE EVENING STAR:
l notice by an interview reported in CITY
paper that Mr.. Baum, president of the school
board, ''agrees with Gen. Brney in some Of mis-
resolutions that certain things (practices) exist
at present in the schools that (Which can be
improved" | am glad to know that Mr.. Baum
is of that opinion. and | hope ne will take
hold heartily with Gen. Birney and help improve
them. Mr. Baum is very much mistaken, how
ever, in supposng that the popular outcry''
against the present system is caused by tVo or
three individuals. who as he says. ''maiciOusly
SEND anonymous letters to the papers," or that
1t is approved by the hundred prominent gentle
men, eX-trustees, etc, to whom he refers On
the contrary, it is. and for years has been, q
continual source of complaint on the part Of
many OF our most intelligent citiZens.-many of
whom have taken their children out of the
sch0os-not that there are not many good fea-
lures In the present system, but that there are
some bad Cnes which ought to be eradicated
As to the ex-trustees know of but one who
1avors the continuation of the Objectionable fea-
lures. and that mainly because he is strong
personal friend of the superintendent Mr.
Baum and all Others ought to be able to under
stand that an effort to eliminate the bad fea-
tures-and he admits there are some-is
not an attack on the schools or on the
school system as a whole. To resist all
efforts at Improvement of the system is to
assume that it is perfect. and that no further
improvement can be made. Surely no one can
truthfully say that. There is no question but
That our present schools are a great improve
ment upon those which existed here before the
war; but the present superintendent is verv far
from being entitled to all the credit for the i'm
provement. Nor is the fact that persons from
abroad were pleased at what they saw in a visit
OF lew hours. any evidence that our present
management is so perfect that it cannot be i'm
proved Any person visiting our schools on
exhibition days. and seeing the sample draw
lngs and texts on which the pupils have spent
weeks preparing them for the OCCASION would OBJ
tain a very erroneous idea Of the actual prot
cheney ofthe scholars in their studies. Those fancy
pictures are no more test Of the solid or useful
information possessed by the scholars than the
gaudy trappings Of an actor on the stage are an
indication Of how that actor would look on the
street in common attire. What we want In the
schools is that management which will secure to
pupils the greatest amount of useful informa-
ton in the least possible time Believing that
the resolutions introduced by Gen. Birney tend
in that direction. hope to see them adopted.

Agrees With Gen. Rirney.

To the Editor Of the EVENING STAR:
The reading of the resolutions in last Satur-
days STAR, which were lately introduced by
Gen. VIM. Birney to the board OF trustees of the
public schools OF Washington, gave me great
pleasure. Having reared and educated large
family of children, some of whom have tor the
past eight years been in the Washington schools;
and having also devoted several years of nv life
to teaching have long been OF the opinion
that such reforms as Gen. Birney has proposed
are much needed in the public schools of Wash
ington.
think that parents who have children, and
especially young children, in the public schools
will aid in securing to them most important
educational and personal advantages by encour-
aging Gen. Birney's efforts to correct the abuses
which his resolutions indicate.

Senator SharOn,s Simplicity.
From the San Francisco Bulletin

from the san francisco Bulletin.
Senator Sharon's daughter Lady Hesketh.
and her husband. Sir Thomas Hesketh, are to
be here soon to spend part of the winter The
Senator is widower, has several children. all
of whom are grown. and none of them much in
clined to make parade of their wealth. Sem
ator whose seat was just alongside of Sharon's
when ne was in the Senate says of him that ha
made less display of his wealth than any man in
the Senate. HE dressed very plainly" he
said, lived in very quiet and transformations
way and gave no evidence by his manner Of his
wealth or of any pride In regard to il. He
never talked of his wealth, never even aIIuded
to it in my presence. and / was with him
a good deal. His manner in this regard was in
marked contrast with others Take his Califor-
MIA home. for instance. When kalston died
Sharon found himself liable for IS OOO. 600 OF
Ralston's debts He paid them. and in the set
tlement the Ralston mansion. twenty-eigl.t miles
out OF San Francisco, became his. So he re-
sided there. Ralston's habit was you remem-
Der, to drive in and out between the house and
the city every day, having relays of horses. and
covering the twenty-eight miles in remarkably
brief time. But when Sharon took possession
all was changed. The carriage was housed the
relays of horses called in. and the Senator,
though a millionaire. rode back and forth on the
cars as other people did. He spends his money
freely and intelligently. and seems very much
averse TO making a display of it or talking
about it.

Precautions i'm Taking Stinulants.


1. Never take stimulants in moments of ex-
IRENE exhaustion. That is precisely the time
and state when there is especial peril of dis
charging the last remains Of energy and leaving
the nervous centers too exhausted and power
less TO recuperate. There is in nervous action,
as in mechanical motion, dead point at which
inertia becomes imminent. 2. Never take more
of a stmulant than will suffice to stir the ener-
gies gently. If you want to incite horse to
action you must not whip him more than viii
suffice to rouse him. If more than this be
done strength will be exhausted by irritation.
8. Never forget that stimulants are ex-
chants, and only when they excite to
recuperation-i. e, to the formation of new re-
serves OF strengthens well as to the consump-
ton of the strength in hand, can they be useful
or even safe. 4. Never persist in the use OF
stimulants for the alienation of feelings OF men,
tai or muscular weakness WEAKNESS. IL the
