Several legislatures now in ses-
sion have either passed or have
under discussion a bill providing
chat State history be taught in
public schools. A law of that kind
tx needed in every State, and our
next legislature couldnot doa wiser
thing than to pass similar act.
AS a general thing the students OF
to-day are Taught and learn niore
about the history of countries they
never expect to see than they do
about the events of interest and
Importance in the history of the
settlement and development of
their own State. Let us have less
of foreign countries and their Ian
guagcs and more of America and
our own State instilled into the
minds Of our young men and women
The study Of local history should
be made compulsory feature OF
our system of popular education.--

The following very commendable
suggestion is taken from the Com
mercial- Herald:
There is ainatter ofgrave impor-
tance awaiting action by the next
legislature. We refer to an insane
asylum for the colored people.
Every feeling Of decency and hu.
nlanity cries aloud for an institu-
ti0n Of this character. 1t is due
alike to the whites and blacks, to
provide fer the insane and to sep
arate them. AS there is not nearly
enough room in our two little
asylums for the insaneOfthe State,
the want can be supplied by erect
ing an asylum and appropriating
it to the colored people exclusively.

Entertaining Tonsoriai Facts.

Henry Mayer, who ruus an undergr ound
tarber shop in Park Row, and who has
wide stock Of information on other sub
iects besides that Of barbering. said to I
New York Sun man.
The old custom OF lathering aman't
face twice during the shaving process has
practically fallen into the soup. II still
prevails, however, With few BARRIERS who
cling to obsolete customs A single appli.
cation Of lather is sufficient for all practi.
cal purposes, moistening the skin with d
sponge beng sufficient for tho second ap
plica,ion OF the rszor.
Why is soap lalher used upon the face ?
said the writer.
Because nothing else will answer the
same purpose. Experiments have been
made from time to time with glycerines
and oils, but none OF them would answer
Shaving soap contains just sufficient alkali
TO neutralize the effect ofthe natural oil
in the hair, and to take away the Stiffness
from the beard.
Why is it, Mr.. Mayer. that so little hair
oil and unguent are used nowadays?
The lato War destroyed the necessity
for hair dressing compounds in rather
curious way, WAS the reply. Previous to
the War it was almost the universal style
to wear the hair long, sometimes even
reaching down to the shoulders. For the
sake Of convenience, and also for comfort
the soldiers had the hair cut short, thus
promoting both comfort and cleanliness
After the war this style became popular.
1t proved destructive to q very profitable
part OF the barbers business. Formerly
BARRIERS derived large income from the
sale Of hair oils and pomsdes, but in this
degenerate age this business is reduced
to mere labor in handling the scissors and
the razor.

THE LAST WORD.

Notwithstanding the great republican blow
out, the overpowering array of talent, thrill
ling %eloquence of Col. Plummer who, by the
way. is a democrat at heart, but it pays
better to be q republican,; though the grand
old party was never before 30 much extol-
led ard the old d~ccomposed form of slavery
was hauled from its grave to serve as u hor-
rible warning to the young men of that
party, still the fact remains that the ques-
ton goes unanswered; why should the
farmer sell his grain whore the price is
governed by o competition with the world
and yet turn around and with his money be
compelled to buy his lumber and farming
implements in a market where competition
is excluded? The p:ople of Bottineau
county cannot be blinded or duped by any
issues Of the dead past. The spirit Of se'-
fshnrss. enlightened by the misfortunes OF
such a past, dictates the looking to the pre-.
sent and the immediate future. The bad
crops and failures of the past few years are
not compensated for by any glorifcation Of
deeds Of rs years ago in which democrats
as we'll as republicans participated and the
cry that the republican party is entitled to
all the credit of the results is as false as it
is unfair.
