Educational Notes.

Intellectual athletics are needed
daily.
No teacher has all the wisdom of the
profession.
A new setting for old methods is al
ways welcome
Do not ask the same of slow children
as of the quick.
The world never needed good thing
more than now.
Do not deluge your school with in
formation on any subject1n which you
are specialist.
There will be prose enough in the life
of every child if you put into it all the
poetry YOU can.
Edward Rowland Hill: If in any case
the salary of a teacher seems too high,
it is not the fault of the salary.
Give q business turn to all YOUR
arithmetic work in the way Of writing
numbers, rs we'll as in the way of COM
bining them.
Prof N. S. Shaler, Harvard Univer-
sitv: Teachers must frequently be
turned away from their calling for the
refreshment which they need.
None of the great theor les are adapt
ed to the work of any teacher without
special modification. In the nature of
the case they are general, while all
good teaching is specific.
R. W. Stevenson. Columbus, o.:
Every course of study for public
school should be constructed to meet
in theory and in practice the require
ments for right and useful living.
Supt. J. B, Monlux, Hastings, Neb:
In order to secure y genuine nation
atty, we must have national system
of education, based on the broad
ground of experience and good sense.
Eva D. Kellogg, Sioux City, Iowa:

STANLEY AS GOVERNOR.
Belief That the Explorer Will be the
Ruler In the Congo Free State,

Belief That the Explorer Will be the
Ruler in the Congo Free State,
LONDON, Special-In Ethe present aspect
of the case it is regarded as a great deal
more probable that Mr.. Stanley will become
the governor Of the Congo free state than
that he will enter the British service. AS
governor of the Congo country he would
exercise more power than in any capacity
to which the British could assign him, and
he would be able to govern with an abso-
lutely free hand. Mr. Stanley recognizes
the fact that King Leopold had the first
claim upon him, and the implicit confidence
which that monarch bestows upon him is
sufficient guarantee that no interference
with his government would be offered 1t
is. therefore, believed that Mr. Stanley will
receive his commission before he leaves
Brussels, if he desires it.
GIVEN AN OVATION.
BRUSSELS, SpeCial.-Henry M. Stanley
reached this city to-day and was given an
ovation. The city was decorated in honor
of Mr.. Stanley and wore a gala ap-
pearance. The flags of Belgium, the
United States and the Congo Free
state were lavishly used. A detachment of
the civic guard and body of troops were
drawn up at the railway station as guard
of honor to Mr. Stanley, and, as he ap-
peared, the troops presented arms and the
band accompanying them played the Bel
gian and American national an
thems. Count Ouitremont who rep
resented the king, received Mr.. Stan
lev as he alighted from the train. Mr.

Joys of Perfect Health.

Health is perpetual youth. 1t is to
feel the body a luxury, as every vigor-
Gus child feels, or as the bird when it
shoots and quivers in the air, not fly
ing for the sake of the goal, but for the
sake of fight; or as the dog when he
rushes wildly across the meadows or
plunges into n blissful stream. But
neither child or dog enjoys his cup of
physical bliss with felicity half so
cordial as the educated conscientious
ness of knowing how to keep we'll and
to feel that you have turned that knowl-
edge to good account in preserving
the health and saving the life of fol.

AGAIN ARRESTED.
A Wisconsin Banker Who Has sBeen
in Hot Water Frequently,

la CROSSE, Wis, Special Telegram,
Wyatt II. Graves, proprietor OF the
Farmers and Mechanics bank at West
Salem, this county, was arrested to-day by
the sheriff Of Sank county on the charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses. The
particular offense was giving a check on his
own bank for $117 to the Baraboo Savings
bank when he had no funds to meet the
same. He has been arrested for doing the
same thing at Stoughton and Reedsburg,
this state, and Pierre, s. D., where he OBJ
tanned 1918 from the Bank OF Commerce ON
the pretense that he was buying real estate.
Many crooked acts are known to have been
committed by him. One OF the most COM
mon was making small loans of $25 or $50,
and then raising the notes to 1925 and $l30,
and negotiating them with larger banks.
Forgery is also alleged. Graves is lawyer,
and first started in Trempeleau county,
where he was under arrest half a dozen
times for all sorts of otfenses but always
managed to escape. He might have been
arrested on dozen charges any time the
past two years, but people were all hoping he
would make turn somehow so they could
recover their money. He is married. and
has parents living near Fond du Lac.

Cobra Poison as Cholera Antidote.

The latest novelty in medical prac-
ticc is the use of the poison of the
cobra as specific for the cure of
cholera. 1t has been known to a few
in India for some time that the
cobra was an autidote. and medical
experts have been making some very
interesting experiments, which, if cor
rectly reported, establish that a cholera
cure has been discovered. The prac-
tice is to make an incision on the up
per portion of the arm, and to intro
duce a few drops of a liquid holding
cobra poison in solution. 1t is dead

IN A BAD Elk,
A ChInaman Forced to Remain on a
Bridge at Niagara Falls.


Bridge at Niagara Falls.
NIAGARA FALLS, Speeial.-Three China
men, two of whom had attempted to cross
the frontier with Nun Lee two weeks ago,
the other stranger, presented themselves
for admission to Canada to-day, hay
ing been hustled over to this side
by United States officers. The two
belonging to Nun Lees party were allowed
admission, having Canadian customs GER
tificates in their possession. The stranger,
not having the necessary document and
only $40 to pay the Canadian tax of $50,
was denied the privileges given to his COM
panions and was sent back to the Amerl-
can side and was there stopped and the
gates of the bridge closed on him. The only
place for the Chinaman was to remain on
The bridge, where he has been since, and is
likely to remain for some time. Collector
of Customs Flyn communicated with the

Further communication has been sent, and

DEsERTION DECREASING,
Secretary Proctor's Efforts to Re-
duCe This Evil Bearing Fruit.

WASHINGTON, Special.-Reports received
at the war departm ent for the nine months
beginning with the fiscal year, July 1, 1889,
show that there have been 1873 assertions
from the regular army during that period.
For the corresponding months ofthe pre-
vious year there were 1903 desertions-a re-
duction this year of over 16 per cent. The
percentage of assertions to the en-
listed strength of the army has
been for this period 6 ITO per cent and
for the same period last year it was rs per
cent. Secretary Proctor has labored dill
gently to reduce this evil. In his annual
report he showed that it was only partly a
question Of administration; but that there
was also legislation needed. The house has
already passed bills in the line of the secre-
tary $ suggestions, and he believes that if
the same pass the senate and become laws
they will enable him to accomplish much
more in this direction. Not only is the
prevalence Of desertion in the regular army
demOralizing to the army itself, but the cx-
pcnse which it makes the government in
the recruiting and transportation OF new
men is very large.

the villain, in order to conceal his horrible
crime hacked the body to pieces and set
fire to the house. Stays lived alone and
the house is about hree-Quarters of mile
from another dwelling, so that there was
little chance of the murderer being mo-
Tested. There is not the slightest clue to
the perpetrators of the deed, and the cor;

Pieces of a broken lantern were found near
the body, but no one of Stays neighbors

druggists ana physicians.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The outstanding dispute over the
respective responsibility of druggists
and physicians for the mistakes in
the administration of medicines, has
caused one of our city druggists to
produce examples of prescriptions
which, if filled literally, would be like
ly to cause an increase in the mortal
ity rates. The physician, for in
stance, who ordered twenty grains of
a deadly drug to be put up when he
meant twentieth, made slip OF the
pen which would have been fatal but
for the intervention of the prescrip-
ton clerk. The examples illustrate
the need of care in the writing as we'll
as the filing of prescriptions. AS to
the respective responsibility for err
rors, it is probably about equally
divided; and with regard to their fire.
quency, we are glad to believe that
the cases cited constitute the excep-
tions to the care which marks the

al might say, assists us out of it.

Pacific confirmed by the president, so that

Pacific lands are so interviewer with other

firm the grant by that time A recent de-

that if these lands are due the company
they may be taxed, even if unconfirmed,
especially land sold by the company.

Of the flood this year has been something
quite extraordinary. 1t is difficult to realize
that for seventy-nine days, or since

times came to stand, but never lost a
point gained The Raleigh and other ere

level to 46 feet - inches on April 1: Since
that date rise of , feet 81 inches has
