WE'LL DONE.

1t is so seldom in these days of degen-
crate politics that legislative body can
rise above the horizon of partisan pref
udiee in vindication of truth. when
it is done public notice should be made
of it, and public praise bestowed upon
the body which gives such sublime
illustration of political virtue. There
fore we stand with uncovered heads in
recognition of the respect due to the
lower house of the Minnesota legisla-
ture. for so effectively squelching the
tail end of Mr.. HAYS Dakota resolution
yesterday. The eliminated sentence
was specimen of that cheap. ciap-trap
political demagogy which is very ccm-
mon these days, and which. though
chaffy as Illinois seed wheat, is
too apt to prove good bait for
partisan prejudice. 1t is to the eternal
honor of the Republican majority in the
Minnesota legislature that they not only
refused to bite in this instance, but in
refusing administered such rebuke to
the author of the resolution as will be
likely to deter fiedgling politicians from
repetition of the experiment in the
future. We pay this tribute to the good
sense of the Republican members all the
more cheertully because we are on the
opposite side of the fence from them.
The scenes and the debate in the legis-
lature yesterday on the HAY resolution
are refreshingly Indicative Of the broad,
catholic spirit which governs Minnesota
people, and of their determination to
make truth and justice paramount to all
things else

Doubtless the young Bohemian down
at Glenville was impressed with a be-
lief Of this sort-that the crime of kill
ing his three kinswomen would be nit
igated; that serious retribution In the
future would be ayerted, and that there
would be a lighter estimate of his
bloody deed among his friends and ac-
quaintances. if he would blow his own
brains out. Possibly the same belief
impressed itself upon the mind of poor
RICH, after killing his wife here in the
Astoria hotel few years ago. And
unquestionably it has its effect more or
less in the mental calculations made by
those who contemplate suicide.
In view Of all this our legislation
Lould Lc SD shaped, and public senti-
men: so formulated, as to emphasize the
fact that self-murder is as atrocions as
any other form of murder, and that it
is merely an exhibition of that con-
temptible cowardice which impels a
person to escape the trials and respon-
sibilities of life that ought to be borne
with fOrtitude,

EItOUFTTE ON ICE.

The really fashionable skate never
weighs more than eighteen pounds.
Ladies should never wear club skates
with satin dancing slippers.
No truly polished urban person will
go skating in his bare feet.
Never 60 skating with cream cakes
or other explosives in your coat-tail
pocket.
Children under six months of age
should not be allowed to wear clamp
skates.
Bustles are never worn Dy gentle
men Oh the ice, no aiaGter how badly
they skate.
If you wish to be considered original
never cut the figure eight on the ice
with your skates.
Keep your skates on the ice. Do not
attempt to skate sitting down with your
legs in the air.
1t is not de rigueur for persons weigh
ing 21O pounds to skate on ice that is
less than an inch thick.
Avoid roller skates on real ice and do
not fall in near the danger signals un-
less you have your rubbers on.
Always fall forward. No true gentle
man will ever consent to crack his
skull on the ice by falling backward.
Do not spread the elephant more than
nine times in one evening unless you
have an unusually large wardrobe.
Do not sit down to take off your skates
in slushy spot unless you are near
sighted or can not maintain your eQui-
librium.
Take your skates Off when you are
through skating. 1t is not de rigueur to
wear them to church, the theater or into
the parlor.
Don't be too fresh while skating. Re-
member that you are on ice and not
likely to spoil, even if you are not as
fresh as you once were.
Do not improvise skates. A shingle
fastened on to carving knife is not a
good skate, no matter how well the
juncture is made.
If you wear screw skates, exercise
diplomacy about the hole you bore in
your heel, and do not insert the gimIet
farther than the heel.
Do not use ice skates to skate on flag
stones. The grating Of the blade on the
stone will probably give you chill if
you break this rule.
1t does not look well for young
woman to seen carrying a Chinese fan
Wnlle SkdIlIlss anu no properly consul
tuted person will wear Panama hat on
the ice, even in the evening.
Popcorn balls are very light, but eat
ing twenty-five of them does not give a
man the bouyancy he needs to keep him
on his feet while skating, so that it will
be well if you limit the number of your
popcorn balls to eleven.
Skating on the slant roof of a Queen
Anne cottage is dangerous and unsat-
isfactory sport to all but luratics, SOM
nambulists and wouid-be suicides-none
of which are admitted to polite society
in New York.
If your feet are so large that nothing
but bob sled will serve for skate for
you, do not pursue the sport on small
lake. Never skate On anything but the
Atlantic ocean or river like the Mis-
sisslppi.

LITERARY LORE.

Munsey's Weekly is the name Of a
new paper. much of the character of
Life, but with the notable exception
that it is published simultaneously in
several cities, and gives to each sew
eral pages of social gossip. George M.
Lee has charge of the Twin Cities edi-
ton.
The handsomest foreign journal which
reaches this office is the Paris Illustre,
which appears in New York in the
English language and is otherwise a
perfect duplicate of the Partisan edi-
ton.
Alfonso Daudet's new novel, "The
Immortal" issued by Rand, McNally
& Co., has provoked much criticism in
the American public, but was in Won
derful demand in Paris. Its keen, in
cisive wit will commend it, whether the
reader sympathize or not with the
French ideas SO prominent,
Julian Hawthorne's work, Kildhurm's
Oak, the latest of the Manhattan series.
has just reached st. Paul, from the
| press of A. l.. Burt, New York, and is
on sale at book stores. The book from
beginning to end is weird and fascina-
ting. There is psychological strain
running through it which will provide
interesting reflective matter for those
who care for something more than mere
romance in works of fiction. Beyond
doubt the book is one OF the most inter-
esting Of the series.
The recent visit to st. Paul of Mrs.
Annie Jenness Miller will lend consid-
cradle interest to her new book, 'TWlxt
Love and Law, just issued by Belford,
Clark & Co.. Chicago. 1t is at least an
interesting. if not powerful story.
Kady, Colorado story by Patience
Stapleton, and Yone Santo, a Child of
Japan, by E. III. House, are new books
just published by the same house.
Gertrude'S Marriage, translated from
the German by Mrs. j. w. Davis, OF
Cambridge, is very charming and ex-
ceedingly interesting novel, written by
one of the foremost German noyelists of
the present time. The author is consid-
cred the successor to .'Marlitt;;"' her
style is as perfect, but her characters
strongly to the human heart, and pos
sesses real dramatic fire.
The latest of the Brentano publica-
tons include the following: "Romance
OF An Alter Ego" by Gen. Lloyd Bryce;
"Frederick Struther's Romance" by
Albert Ulmann; "Where the Trout
Hlde," by Kit Clarke; 'sThe Selden's in
Chicago" by S. D.. and the second vol
ume of the Romantic Library" con-
tanning three interesting noyelettes by
Alfred de Musset.
The March Scribner will contain the
fifth instalment OF i.,bert Louis Steven
sons romance of aG enture, 1.-THE Mas
ter of Ballantrae," IL which crisis in
the plot is developed and a remarkable
situation seems imminent. This novel
contains some of Mr. SteYenson's best
work.

of the leading physicians in New York
city, in recent interview, says he has
numerous patients in good health who
come with view to an inspection OF
their physical condition, in order to
insure the practice of the means of
longevity. He likens himself to the en-
gipeer who examines the machinery of
the system, or the matchmaker. They
throw all the responsibility for the di-
rection of the animal economy on the
physician, only following his directions.
Nature is always striving to operate the

many people do not aid, but oblirnct.

of pay for keeping people in health

practically amount to nothing. and
many cattlemen say that the situation
is very gratifying. Many inquiries are
already being made by purchasers Of
cattle and sheep. and an active market
is anticipated this We I. Many cattle
will be sold in small quantities to set
tiers who are coming to Northern Mon

now EN- route to Northern Montana for

Quite large number of our citizens

MEDICAL REFORM

Without reflection upon one of the
most useful and honorable avocations,
it may be assumed that people will live
longer and be sick less when it becomes
the rule that physicians are retained
like lawyers, and only paid while their
employers are kept in health. This has
been the practice with occasional in
diyiduals, and no doubt would be gen
orally preferred by the profession. One
