the power to enforce the laws against all adul-

EDUCATIONAL.
! commend to your most careful consideration
the report of the state superintendent, which
contains fnll account of the high standard of
work done by the University, the normal schools,
as well all the educational forces OF the state
The following summary will show the total
amounts paid by the state for educational pur-
poses during the years 1887 and 1883:

GENERAL FUND.
The fiscal transactions of the state in its own
behalf, apart from its responsibilities as trustee
torthe various educational trust tunds are all
exhibited In the account with the general fund.
The receipts are drawn from various sources, as
will appear from the summary. The state tax
represents the amounts levied in accordance
with provisions of certain statutes for the pay
ment of interest ON the states Indebtedness to
versty tax, and the completion and furnishing
of Science Hail. The one-1aill tax is collected
in proportion to property and returned to the
counties in proportion to school population ALI
these taxes are Tor educational purposes. The
large increase in the sums received from railroad
and insurance companies in recent years has
made unnecessary the special levy heretofore
annually made by the Legislature, and this Cir
cumstance has given rise to the erroneous i'm
preston in many cases THAT no state tax has
been levied.
The rpnnints follows.

ances of the fair sex will only pay

Ii in February, humane and affec-
tionate wife and tender mother.
If in March, frivolous chatter-box.
somewhat given to quarreling.
If in April, inconstant, not very in
telligent, but likely to be looking.

with sulky temper.

Things TO Be Avoided.

Do not betray egotism.
Avoid argument in company"
Be alert to avoid absence of mind.
Never interrupt the person who is
speaking.
Fault-inding, though gentle criti-
cism, is not in good taste.
Avoid beginning conversation by
an allusion to the weather.
Do not be satirical save in defense of
yourself against impertinence.
Do not whistle, loll about, scratch
your head, or fdget with any portion
of your apparel while in conversation.
Do not ask to have a sentence re-
peated unless you actually failed to
hear it. Many persons have con-
tracted the careless habit Of saying
"What?" "Eh ?" and the like.
