No pupil has right to be tardy.
Parents, who allow their children to
be tardy, cultivate IN them a habit
that will cling to them through life.
Punctuality is prime element ol
success. Q o'clock means Q O'Clock
in business. Parents, why not the
same IN school? What right have
children to come into school late
and interrupt the work. a few
families produce q large portion Of
the cascs of tardlness. The
chronics are usually the laggards IN
study. Nine cases out Of every ten,
YES even the tenth case, Of tardiness
could be avoided. We ask parents
to consider this matter thoughtfuiIy.
Why are your children tardy Wiii
you help US to correcb this bad
nabit?

County asylum and poor farm, re-
turned on Wednesday from Hudson,
Wisconsin, to which place they had
been ordered to go by the state
board of charities and reform to
bring an infant two months old TO

parents of the child were formerly
residents of the town of Moscow,
and whose names were Christensen,
but since moving to Hudson the

on the liquid barbed wire life of
intemperance. He has been re-
former fifteen years and most
radical advocate Of total abstinance.

he ran into a snow drift where bis

rolled and carried many rods. His
back, thigh and leg were broken,

choly death, yet it is one that may
be expected to be duplicated again

second death from this cause in this
vicinity, having been preceded by
that of Geo. Anderson, only few

WAUKEsHA county officials are
agitating the county asplum ques-
ton, and last month special COM
miltee was detailed to visit several
asylums throughout the state for
the purpose Of obtaining such infor-
nation as would enable an intelli-
gent action This committee in its
report to its county board, at a
session since held, has the following
fattering comment touching the
Iowa county asylum
Well may the citizens of Iowa
county be proud Of their new asylum
and its management, for it will be
seen in reading the reports that
the twin brothers, Economy and
Profit, 90 hand in haud with their
fair sister, Humanity, in the man
agement of the Iowa county asylum.
Your committee could not dis
cover even a suggestion Of prison
character in this institution On
the contrary we found there in the
full significance Of tie word-a home.
We saw there all of the 80 Wauke-
sha county inmates, aud we con-
gratulate their relatives and friends
that they are so comfortably domi-

our friends from taking issue with
us, or with other writers. 1t is not
only justice to all, but might, in
some cases, lead to the unravsling
of many an intricate skein of polit-
ical warp which would otherwise
remain unsolved and unsettled. We
therefore repeat that it affords us
pleasure to publish the pros and
cons on all questions of a public
nature.
THE petition signed by thirty
citizens of this place, and presented
by Assemblyman Martin, asking for
more stringent laws against dens of

mersion.

MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, JANUARY

Prof. Livingston, of Dodgeville,
and the whole of his efficient corps
of assistants; Mr.. Il. II. Arthur, of
the Cobb schools; Mr.. Lincoln, of
Miffiin, and a host of other instruct
ors, swelling the number to about
fifty. The exercises were as per
programme and proved of excep-
tional interest and benefit to one
and all. The teachers realized much
pleasure and encouragement from
the attendance of citizens, and they
sincerely hope that there will be no
abatement in the interest in educa-
ton thus made manifest in our
midst. 1t was beyond cavil the
most successful meeting of the kind
yet held in the county. Some choice
musical selections, by the able
quartette consisting of Prof. NeCol-
Inns, ]. p. Hankins, Mrs. Crum and
Miss Edith Roberts, were sand
wiched among the instructive papers
read. The next meeting will be
held at DOdgevi lie. To our indus
trious county school superintendent
b. w. Gillett, much credit is due
for the iustituting of such beneficial

A DISPATCH from Woonsocket,
Dakota, to Minneapolis paper will
interest those in this section who
knew 7. ID. Kanouse, formerly of
Appleton and once or twice can
didate for congress in this district.
1t says that "Hon. T. d. Kanouse,
member of council from South Da-
kota, formerly the noted temperance
orator and at present editor Of the
Times of this city, is having a lively
racket with the members and pastor
of the Presbyterian church, of which
he has always heretofore been chief
director and controlling power, and
whom the pastor and people were
in the habit of obeying. But Rev.
j. \. Ewart, the courageous young
preacher, in recent sermon, en-
deayored to portray the model
Christian characted, which tries to
live in accordance with Christ's doc
trine, and Mr.. Kanouse thought he
was being aimed at. The sermo on
was free from personal references,
and other members thought nothing
of it. Mr.. Kanouse straightway re-
signed all his church and Sunday
school Offices, and caused two of the
stewards known as kanouss's men,
to wait on Rev. Ewart, demanding
that he apologize to Mr.. Kanouse,
which Mr.. Ewart at once refused to
do, Iemarking that Mr.. Kanouse had
no cause to take exceptions to his
sermon, as it was not aimed at him
or suggested by him. Thus the
matter stands Mr.. Ewart has been
here but a short time, but his work
has been marked by fearlessness and
courage"

Strange Phenomena:

The imaginings of the romancers
have again and again been in time
realized by the discoveries of the sci
entists, and if the Oriental idea. that
nothing can be fancied unless it re-
ally has somewhere an existence,
may be supposed to have any foun-
dation, it is to be expected that in
time many more Of the wonders of
fiction will be brought into the
realms of sober fact.
A case in point is afforded by an
experiment tried at the hospital of
the Salpetriere. A subject having
been hypnotized, the physician con-
Quoting the experiment traced his
name upon the patients arm with a
blunt probe, saying to him:
"This afternoon at 4 o'clock you
will go to sleep and blood will then
issue from your arms to the lines
which have now traced"
The subject fell asleep at the hour
named and the letters appeared up
on his arm in reliet, marked with
bright red and here and there with
minute drops of blood. The same
patient was subsequently heard, in a
spontaneous attack of hysteria, to
command his arm to bleed, and the
cutaneOus hemorrhage reappeared.
''These strange phenomena recall,
and also EXPLAIN comments NJ.
Binet, ';the bleeding stigma which
have been repeatedly observed in the
subject Of religious ecstacy who have
pictured to themselves the passion of
Christ"
And it might be added that they
justify, if one could assume that just
ification were necessary, the bold
imagining Of Hawthorne in having a
scarlet A appear upon the breast OF
Arthur Dimmesdale from intense
brooding over the badge Of shame.
The point is not one which in the
least affects the value of the story,
but it is of a certain curious interest.

Ocean Cables.

There are now ten cables across the
Atlantic, and their loca ton and con-
dltlon are about as well known by
those who have to do with them as
though they were exposed to view
for the entire distance. 1t has been
said ofCaptain Trott, the ell-known
cable fisherman, that he knows the
mountains and valleys, lanes and
avenues of the ocean as well as d
cabman knows the streets of London.
Crossing the Atlantic on one oc
caslon with his repair steamer, and
realizing that he was in the vicinity
of the spot where stretch of cable
had been lost by another company's
steamer some time previous, the cap
tain set to work, picked up the cable
within an hour or two, and delivered
1T to it's owners on his arrival in
port. There are now throughout
the world over 116, 900 miles of sub
marine cables, with nearly 125, 700
miles of conductors. All cables are
tested before leaving the factory.
When put on shipboard, the ships
electrician is in constant communi-
cation with the shore through all
the cable on the ship The slightest
fault is detected just as soon as it
goes into water. Paying out is i'm
m ediately stopped, and the cable re-
paired. You could not see a pinhole
in the insulation, but it can be To-
Gated by the fine testing instruments,
sometimes within a quarter of q
mile, in the entire stretch of 1900
miles. Aside from electrical consid-
erations, it is believed that armor or
iron protected wires are necessary
for protection from chatting on the
rocks, and from the teeth of the
parasite, and the cable at the bot
ton of the sea is no exception. Ca
bles have been taken up from a
depth of mile and half with the
hemp covering badly eaten away,
and at a depth of over half a mile
strong currents Of the ocean have
rasped the armored wires on the
rocky bottom. Experience has not
yet determined the full lasting quail
ties of electric cables. Specimens
have been taken up which show no
signs Of deterioration after having,
been in the water for more than
thirty-five years. Water, and es-
pecially salt water, seems to be a
preserver of insulating compounds.

An Unusually Short Name.

A funny factcame to light recently
at the registration of the birth OF a
child. The happy father was asked
the maiden name of his via, to
which he answered.:
Crosse B."
''Well, how do you spell it? Bee,
By, Bey, or how?''
''Just simply b.
THAT cannot be. B is only an
initial, not name. -
cit is all the name my wife ever
had until she married me. Neither
she nor any Of her family have ever
had any other Lame than just B,
neither more or less. y
They could hardly have had less,
and an examination of the records
showed that they had really never
had more. Beyond doubt the B
family bears the shortest name in
France, perhaps in the world. Only
one other name of equal brevity is
known, and that is the name OF a
place. About fifteen miles from Per-
onne, on the Hamline, there is a
commune known as Y. 1t has some
two hundred inhabitants. The or
igin of the name of Y is unknown,
and it would be curious to investi-
gate the origin of the patronymic of
the B fanlily,-Paris Letter in Nash
vile American.
