A Petrified Monster.

The long continued drought in
central and southern Iowa has
brought to light the petritied re-
mains of some aHtediluvian mon
ster, over which the waters of the
Des Moines river have rolled for CEN
turtles. The resting place ofthis orig
inal first settler is in the little vii
lage of Percy, in Marion county.
During the great drought of three
years ago, when the river was lower
than it had ever been within the
memory of the white men, S. R.
Dawson, a gentleman living near
Percy, claimed that he had found a
"queer thing" in the river near
town. The present dry spell proves
that Dawson was right, and that
his "queer thing" is an extinct mon
ster of gigantic proportions. The
head has become detached and lies
forty or fifty feet from the body,
which is now about fifteen yards in
length, Notwithstanding the fact
that several joints are missing. At
distance of thirteen feet from the
tip of the tail the stony monster is
four feet nine inches in breadth.-St.
Louis Republic.

Good Advice

Boys help yourselves. Fight your own
battles. Hoe your own row. Ask nc
favors of any one, and you will succeed a
thousand times better than one who is al
ways beseeching some ones influence and
patronage. No one will ever help you as
you help yourself, because no one will be
so heartily interested in your affairs. The
first step will be such a long one perhaps;
but carving your own way up the mount.

those who have $1,000 given then
to start with, but boys who have

have never been thrust into popularity by

The Value Of Fresh Air.

When circumstances render it impossible
to permanently remove the infant from the
CITY during the summer months, fresh air
must be secured by taking it to public parks
during the cool hours of the morning and
evening, OF. by spending the day in some
open suburban resort or on a neighborinp
river. The heat of the day must be speni
in as cool, clean and well ventilated room
as can be had. Plenty of sleep is impor.
tant and it is of great moment that the in
FAINT rest upon clean, fresh bed rather than
on p hot lap or shoulder. When out Of
doors it should be wheeled in coach ratb-
er than carried. Many a stout mother has
caused her baby's illness, and even it,
death, by too fond and constant nursing.
The clothing must be as thin as possible,
provided always that wooden b. worn next
to and over the whole skin. An execution
to this rule may be made during DAYS d
excessive heat, when the legs NAV be al
lowed to 80 bare.--[ New York Tribnne.

Told by a Massachusetts Man.

Mr.. Olds, a gentleman from Mas
sachuset6s, now residing on the St.
Lucie river, tells remarkable story.
While clearing a homestead on the
east side of the river, by the sea-
shore, he went to battle in the surf,
but on putting his feet in the waves
found the water icy cold; he tried it
again with the same result, the wa
ter was just like ice; he then walked
along the beach and found piles of
frozen fish. 1t is supposed that a
huge mountain of ice from the South
seas became dislodged and foated
with the current to this shore before
the warm waters of the gulf had
time to melt it, However, this is
only speculation, and to many it
still remains a mystery.-Florida

of the soldier boys, and, as legislators
have already been more than reckless
in their drafts on the treasury, 1T is re-
cognized that halt must be called.
In fact, some of the huge expenditures
contemplated must be Topped of, and
in this there is anxiety for the river

pet measure will die borning. The
public building men also realize that
their schemes may turn out to be

The School Book Trust.


The organization OF a school book
trust embracing the leading firms Of
the country in that line of business is
an event of more than ordinary in
terest and importance. Those who
are familiar with the school book
trade do not need to be told that the
sales are made for the most part by
processes that are seriously objection
able. For many years past in every
State the agents of the different pub
fishers have been carrying on cru
SADIE which has frequently had public
scandal for an accompaniment. Not
few well attested cases of bribery
have been reported, and more
or less suspicion has come
to be attached to all transac-
lions between school officers and those
who supply school books. The pur-
pose OF the trust through which sales
will hereafter be made is certainly not
to abolish this reprehensible practice
but rather to perpetrate and extend
it by increasing the price of books, and
thus providing an enlarged margin for
irregular expenditure. In other words,
the people are to be additionally taxed
for the purpose of maintaining a
traffic that is already costing them
far too mnch. The prospect is an un-
pleasant one from every point of view
and some way should be devised to
check and defeat scheme which
promises to be so misohievous.
1t is likely that the States will find
it best to adopt the plan of publishing
their own school books and furnishing
them at cost prices or making them
free. There is reason to believe that
Just as good books conld thus be Sc
cured as those which are now in use,
aud that large amount OF money
could be saved by the reduction in
price. The books sold by the pub
fishing firms have no special virtues.
They do not contain any secrets OF
instruction which invest them with
supreme value. Of all forms of liter
allure, they are probably the easiest to
duplicate. Each State has educat-
ors who are capable of pre-
pairing q series of text books
which will answer the purpose as well
as the present ones, at least so far as
the public schools are concerned. For
some reasons books so prepared would
be preferable to any other in point OF
adaptability to local wants, and the
constant changes that are now made
would be avoided. The subject comes
directly home to every citizen. We
are now paying out large sums in the
aggregate year after year to benefit a
few firms, and this new project is in
tended to make their profits still larger
at the public expense. Trusts of all
kinds are to be condemned on general
principles, but this one has obnoxious
features that are peculiar to itself.
When monopolistic rapacity is APP
piled to the means by which public
education is diffused it becomes an
evil of the most pronounced and Of
fensive description. The people are
not obliged to submit to imposition
and extortion in that relation; and it
is their duty to demand protection
against it at the hands of their legis-
lators.
