Report Of School Commissioner.


District 3-64-14 more fa miliarly
known as the Lyons or Trinity
school. This district also borders
on Schuyler county and east OF
the Wells district; it contains
about nine square miles. The
house is south of the center of the
district, at the cross roads, which
spcils the play grounds for the
children, as the roads cross in the
center of them. This is quite an
uoying to both teacher and pupils
during rainy periods. The houseis
large, we'll painted and has a high
ceiling; it is furnished with new
improved seats, but no maps,
charts or globe. The blackboard
is not the best; the windows are
made so the room may be yentilat-
ed. The house is a credit to the
district; this speaks we'll for them.
Enrolment of the present school
is 56; average attendance during
last month 81; per cent OF atten-
dance 55; number present 81; Or

The following statements were made
by Rev. J. Owen Dorsey, In n paper en-
titled Teton Folk Lore" read before
the Anthropological society. The mate
rial used In the preparation of this ape
was translated by Mr.. Dorsey from O
collection of Teton texts written by
George Bushotter, n Dakota Indian.
The Tetons believe that the buffalo
used to dwell in subterranean lodges.
When one sees a Buffalo In a vision the
animal becomes his guardian, rendering
MIN almost invulnerable, putting a real
buffalo inside of him and comforting on
him the right to take part in the buffalo
dance. In tho, olden times there was
also another species of buffalo about
which marvellous tales are told,
On n occasion some Indians were
attacked by II of these mysterious ami
mails and one of the party was killed.
But the monster walked four times
around tho corpse and said: .,Ariseip
Immediately the dead man revived. The
monster said: thereafter you shall be
mysterious. The Gun, moon, four winds,
day and night shall serve you" From
that time the ma could assume any
shape.-Science.

Tho tanners of women in public con-
veyances vary, but they all get off a
street car In the same way. Watch n
particular one. She motions t o the con-
ductor and slides to the edge of the seat,
on which she sits perfectly still until the
n ONE to a full stop. Then she walks
calmly to the platform. On the lower
step she hesitates, leans forward, peeps
up the street, looks across the street,
gathers up her skirts, looks down and
back to see that they are not too high
for propriety, glances shyly up to see if
the impertinent men are staring, takes
another look around the horizon and de
parts. Tho conductor jerks the bell
strap with pernicious activity; Slares at
the woman until she reaches the side
walk, and then hastily scans the faces of
the men on the platform. He is looking
for sympathy. But he gets none. Every
glance is sharpened at the fair creature
who has just alighted.-Philadelphia

Sho was very sick and her husband
sent for the doctor. l think that ladies
have so little to do nowadays that it is a
kind of way they have of amusing them
selves-getting sick and sending for the
doctor. l don't believe we will ever
have female doctors to any extent. II
we do it will be mainly for children.
Men will never take kindly to female
doctors. l suppose 1t may Be an unjust
opinion, but l can't fancy u man being
very spoony with q doctor. There Is a
distinct prejudice In mankind against a
woman who has anything of a practical
nature, except about the house. He
doesn't mind 1t IL she can hang pictures
and nail down carpets and sow on but
tons, but n scientific woman Is always
viewed with suspicion. A male doctor,
Tor instance, always says 1t Is tho liver or
stomach, n female doctor would prob
ably say 1t was the heart, and she would
very often be right. The ladies don't
want a female doctor. 1t Is in some
cases the only chance they have to see a
man, when they are sick. However, the
doctor was called in, and he, of course,
Immediately wrote out n prescription.
It was for some pills, to be taken every
