IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGES.

A radical change in the stockholders
and management of the Mankato Manu-

ioy the comforts of ease. He has spen
busy life and has richly earned retire
ment.
Mr.. Wilcox is first-class mechanic
and will probably remain with the new
management.

Common Sense Talk TO Teachers

The best plan to interest children in
school, and to cause them TO love it, is
to give them something to do which
keeps them usefully occupied. Children
are naturally active, they will be busy.
and when not engaged in useful work
they will be i'm mischief. How shall lit
tie children, before they can study their
lessons. be engaged i'm school: Shall
they be forced to sit for three hours
without having anything to do, with
feet dangling under the seats, and their
bodies swinging TO and fro? \ little
child is only i'm its element when it is
active. To force it to sit quiet from
fear Of the rod, is, to say the least, UNI
natural, if not injurious TO health and
positively cruel. The babe in the cradle
is full OF life and activity. Its arms
feet, eyes and. in fact. all the muscles
of the body are constantly in motion.
How shall children. little children. he
kept busily employed i'm school so rs to
prevent them from becoming restless
while they are yet too young to be kept
ut their books. An important question
and one which has no doubt puzzled
many teachers.
Give pupils something to do 10y means
If which they can make thcmsclyc.
useful. Teach them useful knowledge.
Children delight in being able to render
assistance. The boy who can do some
easy work for his parents on the farm,
or about the barn or house, feels clated
at the idea that he is making himself
useful. and works for hours with the
greatest cheerfulness. \ work of love

and tell him how much difference there
might be. The friend reported that the
other mans horse was worth $50 more

DANGER FROM A CATS BREATH.

I wish for the benefit of those who
allow q cat to lie in the cradle with a
child you would give this note space.
I have lately read two articles Oh the
subject, and am surprised that none
seem to realize the harm the cat does.
The cat will not suck the child's
breath, but the child will inhale the
breath of the cat, which is very poison.
Gus. remember not many years ago
seeing a catloving child made very
sick with terrible fits or spasms. She
could always be found with the cat in
her arms. Finally she took the cats
breath by kissing it in the mouth and
Immediately fell into fits. l have
never allowed cat around my house
since saw that. / suppose if cat
could thus kill child it would then
gorge itself OFF the chiid's flesh as it Is
known that cat will try to get where
there is dead body if it can. I know
of no being cats will seek to sleep with
but human being and I think they
have the power to kill person in the
way mentioned above were they left
undisturbed. / would advise that all
cats be kept from the cradle, and also
that children be not allowed to carry
