George William Hills Snap.

81 cretary RUsK deserves credit for
his courage on the shirt question, and
also for his practical good sense in put
ting an expert and very capable journal
list in charge of the bulletins and other
publications sent out to be read by the
public at large. He is to interpret to
the unframed average mind the essen
tial facts reported by the scientists and
learned observers. A casual eye will
find compactly stated just what he
wants to know about the condition of
the crops and what the results are
likely to be, without extensive ratios,
proportions and comparisons. 1t is pre-
sumed that what is desirable for the
farmers to know about any destructive
enemy. like the sparrow or locust, will
not require 400 pages and take in the
history of the plaques of Egypt. The
fact that the editor selected has been
identified with the agricultural interests
of this region makes it probable that
the new Northwest will receive very i'll
telligent appreciation.

SUNDAY CRATER.

In referring to the Sunday paper
question some intimatiOn has been had
of the difficulty experienced by the
clerical brethren who draw upon their
mental and spiritual vitality in paint
ing the enormity of the Sunday paper.
In meeting the exigency when they as
sumo control of daily paper the case
at Grand Forks was alluded to. The
preacher had often diScourSed pointedly
against the Sunday issue in the pulpit,
but he heard a call to leave the sacred
desk and take control of journal that
appeared seven days in the week. Con-
sistency and principle were conserved
by dropping out the Sunday issue, leav-
ing time for the boys to go fishing and
to base ball Saturday in order to do duty
Sunday for the Monday issue. This
was unsatisfactory, and recourse was
had to couple of young men, who had
become demoralized enough for the role
by similar service. to take minor in
terest, and, dropping the name of the
preacher, revive the Sunday issue.
This relieves the owner from all en-
barrassment, and leaves him free to
abhor the Sunday paper, in a valuable
advertising way. and prevents any
fracture of sacred crOckery by him.
There is practical lesson that the in
cident is used to illustrate.

FAST HORSES.

The average American has not lostin-
terest in horseflesh. but it is quite ap-
parent that American partially is just
as tickle in this respect as in every other.
Only a few years ago the craze was all
for fast trotters and fast PAGERS, and
now it is difficult to drum up an assem-
blage to witness trotting or pacing
match. We had demonstration of this
in the slim attendance at the Hamllne
course during the past week. This is
the age of rapid transit, and everything
that moves must go at breakneck gait,
or there is nothing attractive about the
performance. Consequently, the trot-
ting horse has been compelled to yield
the track to the running horse, just as
the old horse car has had to give way
to the cable line and the electric
motor. 1t makes no difference how
well-bred the trOtter may be, how we'll
trained, or how handsomely he may
handle himself on the racecourse-he
doesn't enthuse the multitude. But
take him off and put the running horse
on the track, and Immediately every
thing is excitement. 1t is not necessary
to stop and inquire into the causes for
this exhibition of fickleness on the part
of Americans, further than to say that
we are such progressive people every
thing that goes at all must go with a
rush. If the running horse does not al
ways make as good time as the trotter,
he at least has the appearance of doing
his work on q faster scale

Christian Endeavor Society.

It is possible that interest in con-
vention further south has in measure
diverted attention from notable gath
ering in Philadelphia, continued most
of the week. This is the annual convo-
cation of the Christian Endeavor
society, which had nearly ten thousand
delegates i'll attendance, coming from
all the Protestant denominations and
every territory and state in the Union.
The society originated in Maine eight
years ago. and seems to have met a
want or struck the key at the right
moment, for it is credited with having
a half-million members, mostly of the
younger elements of church society. 1t
is an institution not forced by artificial
work or selfish ends, but the spon-
taneous outgrowth of the better nature.
1t does not seem to have rigid lines of
work, but combats all that is debasing
and groveling, subordinate to the
church life. The membership has no
other limitations than devotion to the
work, which Savors in some measure of
the ascetie spirit. as the most repug-
nant assignments must be filled with
out hesitation. Special local interest
attaches to the society from the fact
that Minneapolis was the competitor
with st. Louis for the next convention,
and was strongly supported by the St.
Paul delegation.

Jewish Training Schools.

Some 1880 years ago or so there were
Jews who were mechanics. 1t is not
understood that in the modern times
such has been the fact. In this coun-
try, at least, they have been traders,
with almost no exceptions. The race
has natural aptitudes for trade, but it
does not quite appear why there has
been no entrance upon the manual avO-
cations. 1t is said that movement has
been inaugurated in New York for the
training of Jewish boys in the mechani-
cal arts. The school Is supported by
wealthy Jews. for the benefit of their
young men, as a benevolent institution,
originating in the belief that the lines
of commerce and trade. as well as the
professions, are becoming too full. and
that other means Of subsistence must
be provided for some of them. 1t would
be well If this impression should gain
currency with those not belonging to
the lineage of the patriarchs. Skilled,

Canine Elevation.

In the vocabulary of commiseration
has been found the phrase, treated
like dog" in the social progress of
the age it requires new placement. AL
most any day misunderstanding ladies
may be seen on the streets with small
canine in their arms, carried with more
fond concern than many of the parties
would if it were of their kith and blood,
These little pugs are petted and cared
for at home, and it is said that in some:
of the cities there are furnishing houses;
for dogs, to provide for their toilet and
comfort. In the most aristocratic
circles the CANNES are given frequent
baths, perfumed and shampooed. There
are combs and brushes designed for this
special purpose. The tresses of the
Skye terrier are artistically crimped and
banged. his teeth brushed and his claws
polished. He is every day given an
airing, sometimes in the arms of the de-
voted lady, and anon led by silken or
golden cord. In such cases the impress
sion is natural that the fair lady has fit
ting companionship. and is filling the
sphere, as ARTEMAs WARD used to say,
for which Nature designed her.

GENEROUS EATING.

Many sayings are accepted as wise
because they seem to have an oracular
delivery, but which will not bear the
test of analysis. One of these is the
assertion that ''overeating is responsible
for nearly as much misery in the world
as overdrinking." 1t is like the saying
that a person ''never regrets having
eaten too little" Both are absurd.
They would, if carried to their logical
conclusions, make man mere machine,
to be fed with the least possible fuel to
keep it in operation. The table would
be cherries board. representing the
replenishing of an exactly estimated
waStage of the system. Very unpalata-
bic food will answer all the conditions
of a man machine, but tastes are given
for enjoyment. 1t is the man with flesh
on his bones, and who has time to eat
three square, appetiztng meals every
day, who isn't forever in trouble with
his stomach and gets the best out of
life as physical institution. 1t is the
lank. rapid fellow, who stints the de-
mands of the system and has no time
for proper assimilation of his food, who
is miserable. Good, generous eating is
not dangerously common.

The Truth-Telling Tribe.

There is tribe III India that is low in
caste and generally very humble in all
the conditions of life, but is credited
with one virtue-the Bill will not tell a
lie. Our national parent would not lie
to save thrashing, but these Indians
will not prevaricate even to save their
lives. Just what tests are recorded of
this is not material. Too close inquiry
might spoil the story. This is the only
virtue that the tribe is credited with,
but it shows that they have no traits in
common with the Indians of this coun-
try. The American Indians will lie, and
even white men who have never aSSoci-
ated with them are at times frugal in
veritieS. In fact, any dime museum
would hold all the persons in it's COM
munity who always enunciate plain,
undiSguised truth. People who get up
show bills or certificates of newspaper
circulation are expected to do generous
coloring, but it was noted that at min
isterial meeting in one of the Twin
Cities the past week there was no seri-
Gus dissent to the confession of one of
the brethren that the doctrine he ad-
vanced to them was not presented in
his pulpit. The question What is
truth?" is an old one, and many have
abandoned all attempts at its solution.

girls are said to possess over the Ameri-
can girls-they are more domestic; if
they shine less brilliantly in society
than their American sisters their do
nestle virtues shed a steady luSter in
their houses. This, of course, is look
ing at the question from an English
point of view. The American girls are
capable of doing both; domesticity is
not incompatible with social brilliancy.
and many of society's queens are care
full housekeepers and devoted wives and
mothers, keeping their sweetest words
and smi les for their own homes.

PERSIA'S RULER.

The shah may be laughed at in
good-natured way, if it does excite the
indignation of some of his ministers,
but he is considerable of a success in
his range. He has been running the
political machine in Persia ever since
he was nineteen years old, and he is
sixty now; and in all that forty-one
years he never got into but one fight,
and that was with England, and lasted
but few months. He is not so hide
bound as the Chinese rulers. He has
introduced the telegraph and telephone,
and encouraged Americans to go there
and build extensive railroads. He is all
autocrat, but has voluntarily arranged
a cabinet to advise Nm, and follows the
advice when it suits him. The popula-
ton of this country has increased to
some extent under him, but there is no
ambition in those Oriental regions to
fill UP the country. That was done
some thousands of years ago. and still
judicious pruning of the CI.AKksoN
sort has kept from too much crowding
