One woman has made the silk gowns
of the justices of the United States su-
preme court for the past forty years,
and she gets 500 for each one of them.
They are all made alike, the only differ

new gown when he swears in presi-

Prof. Bischoff, the organist of Con-
gregational church in Washington, has
been blind from his childhood. All the
new music that comes out is read to
him by his secretary, one reading being
sufficient to fix an ordinary piece of
music in his mind, although an Intricate
piece of composition sometimes requires
several readings. He also finds the
graphOphone useful in committing
music to memory or in composing, for
he does considerable original work.
The professor has been for many years
successful teacher of both vocal and
instrumental music.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Suggestions by One OF the County
Superintendents.

A. e. EngStrom, superintendent Of
schools in Goodhue county, writes the
GLOBE letter. in which he makes the
following points on the schools:
First-That we can never expect to
get large proportion of our common
school teachers from the normal
schools.
Secondhand we will have to depend
principally upon our city and village
schools for the same.
Third-That these schools as now con-
Quoted do not as a rule aim at giving
their students the preparation needed
fol- common school teac hing.
FOurth-TAat our high schools make
specially of fitting for college rather
than for teaching, although many times
as many of their graduates teach as go
to college.
Fifth-That two of the essential and
indispensable qualifications of a COM
mon school teacher are (a) a thorough
mastery of the common branches; (b)
knowledge of how these branches are
now being taught by our best teachers,
This knowledge could be gained by OBJ
servation of how work is done in good
schools, and by practice teaching under
the guidance of good teachers. If to
these be added the study of some eIe.
mentary books Oh teaching, like
"White's Elements of Pedagogy" so
much the better.
SiXth-There is not a village or city
school of two rooms or more in which
all this preparation could not be given,
providing the teachers themselves were
professionally prepared and competent
Seventf-lf country school teachers
could prepare themselves for their work
in their nearest village school, we co uld
soon demand of teachers as a prerequi-
site to obtaining a certificate that they
had so prepared themselves.
The state is now Offering certain
schools in the state $500 per year as an
inducement to do college preparatory
work. In view of the great need of bet
ter facilities for preparing teachers for
common schools, would it not be we'll
for the state also to offer special finan-
cial inducements to schools to do this
work?
In conclusion 1 wish to say that I am
and have always been friendly to the
normal schools. The plan here given
cannot be construed as unfriendly to
said schools, but the opposite. 1t would
raise the standard of the normal schools
by creating demand. not for partially.
but for fully prepared normal teachers,
These thoroughly prepared normal
teachers. in the city and village schools
would help those that cannot afford to
90 away to take normal course, would
multiply the forces of the normal
schools and extend their beneficent in
fuences into every country school.

An Econom- Mrs. W. was a prac-
tical soul, and she
zeal Wife. came of a family
which through all the
country side was renowned as being
''near." In other words, she came of a
race of people who were the reverse of
generous and in herself she was, it may
be added. the flower of their qualities.
She had an excellent husband, but he
was stricken down with typhold-pneu-
mOnia and one morning the physician
wife that he could live only few hours
at most. In her way Mrs. w. was fond
of her husband and she was greatly at
fected by the verdict which announced
her approaching separation from him.
The scene between her and her hus-
band was affecting in the extreme, and
the nurse, who was present in the back
ground, was moved to tears by the
agOnized fervor of Mrs. WIS grief.
''GeOrge," the weeping wife said at
last, what clothes do you want to have
on When-When-"
Tears chOked her utteTance. and her
husband feebly murmured that it did
not matter to him any more how he was
arrayed.
"Then you won't mind. dearest" she
said between her s0bs, IF we put on
your old pants? The new ones haven't
been worn but once, and we can send
them back to the tailor, and no one will
notice what sort of pants you have ON
in the cof-cof-coffin."
Dear George was too far gone either
to care what trousers were used for the
,arraying of his remains for the tomb or
to appreciate the perfection of his wife's
economy; he simply moaned and gave
fInr l. &c
practice any economical device which
should occur to her frugal mind in the
arrangements which followed in doleful
sequence.

A Waste of

A Waste of Here is clever
WOman'S comment on
Kisses. the manners of women:
VIII can we not do as
men do, and write to each other only
when we really have something to say?
And why must we kiss each other every
time we meet? Kisses are really not
agreeable greetings to exchange. Very
few people know how to beStow or re-
ceiVe them in neat and satisfactory
fashion. A slovenly kiss is q really de-
testable article, and makes one dislike
and deSpiSe the beStoWer. OF all nv
girl friends who kiss me when we meet
there is only one from whose osculaJory
greeting do not involuntarily shrink.
Some butt at the kisses with lips made
into hard ball for the purpose. These
almost give one the toothache.
Others bestOw their dewy lips upon
ones cheek in a way that makes the
recipient grope hastily but furtively for
a handkerchief. A third contingent
kiss in a cold and chilling way that SAYS
plainly enough: 81 kiss you because |
suppose you expect it of me-" | always
sympathize with these and would gladly
fall into their views. Let US make
nOn-kiSSing compact company, and see
how many of our acquaintance will
join it. The rules would hot forbid a
kiss after long absence, nor would it
interfere with lovers kisses or anything
of that sort, but only combat the custom
of daily greetings by OSCILLATION. feel
quite sure that woman's friendships
would be irmer and more durable if
they would abandon all such heavy de-
mandS upon it.
