NOTE AND COMMENT.

Some Knights of Pythias left Geth-
semane church last Sunday because of
the robes Rector Faude wore, they mis-
taking him for a "Jesuit." The occa-
sional complaint that education in this
country. especially in Minneapolis, is a
farce seems TO be well grounded.

the duty to perform of calling the con-
ventlon to order as chairman of the
county committee, and he did it pleas
antly first stating that the reason
for holding the convention SO
far down town was that the
delegates might be as near st. Paul
as possible. Four years ago when he
visited the legislature he found that
Ramsey county had the speaker, the
governor, the senator and congressman.
Two years later the Democrats were on
top. and the situation was discOuraging.
We have succeed in changing this, but
the lesson is still with us. II do not
Think" he said. that Hennepin county
owes enough to the present executive of
the state that he should of necessity be
our choice, but l do think the
county owes enough to the party
and state to go to st. Paul
July 25, and serve the best interests OF
the party and states through the forty
five delegates which you elect to-day"
The reading of the call was dispensed
with, and then Mr.. Boardman an
nounced that he was awaiting the
pleasure of the convention. Atthis the
cone-llke head of A. II. Hall, which had
been jumping up and down in the sea
VI loCCo ilhO q leu UOOOOt III ~ CiOppiO
bed, was recognized. Mr.. Hall started
out with rhetoric flourish. I'VE are
met here as Republicans to-
day." said he, ''who send more
prayers to heaven and more
votes to the polls than any county in
the state. This is critical point in the
history of the Republican party in this
state and county. Republicanism is
purity ITSELF"
This was as far as he got with his
dress parade of Republican virtues, for
Judge Fisk broke in with dry. rasping
voice, and asked if there wasn't a
question before the house.
When Hall recovered he went on to
say that there was an old maxim of old
heads for wisdom and young heads for
action. He desired to pla ce in nomina-
ton for chairman man who was Re-
publican before many Of those present
were born; a leader who had never been
accused of want of sagacity, shrewd-
ness or cunning-Hon. Loren Fletcher.
At this the first enthusiasm of
the day was provoked. R. R.
Odell arose to second the nomination,
and acted as though he was going to
make a speech, and several grOans
were heard when he said, II arise to
second the nomination." Somebody
must have pulled his coat tail, for he
added, without any further remarks"
whereupOn there was more applause.
and Hon. Loren Fletcher was elected
chairman without more ado. The
"Iittle villain" of Hennepin county pol
itics, as he used to be called, then
made his way to the stage, and

Death Rate of Ministers.

Comparing the death rate of ministers,
In respect of the causes of death, with
the mortality of other men, the following
results are obtained: Of 86,331 clergy
men, $50 died of infectious diseases. The
usual experience of an insurance COM
pany would have made the number 239;
that is, the mortality of the clergymen
was only 70 per cent. of the ordinary
death rate. The death rate of physicians
from these diseases was 1877 above the
usual rate, pointing to the greater danger
of contagion in the case of the physician
than in that of the pastor.
Of lung affections, excluding consump-
ton, 81 clergymen died, instead of 1898,
the number expected from mortality
tables. Physicians died of such diseases
115 per cent. above the average rate. Be-
tween the ages of 26 and 45 the mortality
of Roman Catholic clergymen compared
with Protestant ministers of the same age
was as 1877 to 100, while between the ages
Of 46 and IS the difference was as 154 to
100, and between the ages of 65 and IS as
118 to 100. How to explain this striking
difference is no easy task. 1t is suggest
ed that it may be connected with the life
of celibacy followed by the priests, also
with the rigid penances of Catholic eccle-
siastics, which, especially in the case Of

Book Teaching of Science.

l once visited a large high school, one
of the best in the country, with a science
teacher whose studies have won him the
respect of his fellow workers. But for
some reason, on that day at least, he failed
to bring his own knowledge into the class
room. I heard him quizzing class of
boys and girls on animals-not on the
animals of the woods and fields, not on
the animals before them, for there were
none, but on the edentates of South Amer
lea. An especial point was to find out
whether it is the nine banded armadillo
(novemcinctus) or the three banded ar
madillo (tricinctus) which does not dig a
hole in the ground for its nest. The book,
written by man who did not know an
armadillo from mud turtle, gives this
piece of information. 1t was in the les
son, and the students must get it. And
on this and like subjects these boys and
girls were wasting their precious time
precious because. if they do not learn to
observe in their youth, they will never
learn, and the horizon of their lives will
be always narrower and darker than it
should have been.
Already the work of that day is a blank.
They have forgotten the nine banded
armadillo and the three banded, and SO
has their teacher, and SO have l. ALI that
remains with them is mild hatred of
the armadillo and of the edentates in
general, and feeling of relief at being
no longer under their baleful influence.
But with this usually goes the determine
ton never to study zoology again. And
when these students later come to the
college, they know no more of science
and its methods than they did when at
the age of year they first cried for the
moon.-David Starr Jordan in Popular
Science Monthly.

It seems that the two met in the summer
Of 1889 at Posillipo, the young lady's
father having at that picturesque little
hamlet on the gulf of Naples lovely
villa. One beautiful evening the two
were in the garden overlooking the water
upon which the moonlight hung like a
misty gauze; the scene was one of poetic
loveliness-young Gladstone felt that
there never could be fairer spot or a
better moment for the confession of his
love, so he declared himself to his IMAM
orata with a fervor which the pictur-
sequences of the surroundings enhanced,
If it did not inspire. Instead, however,
of answering him the pretty girl covered
her face with her hands and fed precip-
itately into the villa.
Of course this astounded the young
lover; he could not understand it at all;
should he interpret the maiden's conduct
as rejection? If so, it were better for
him to leave Posillipo at once. But no,

after breakfast, at which his idol did not
appear, he sought the garden and mean

tactics he ought to pursue. Suddenly he

Cinnamon "a Sailors.

At Hong Kong it is hard to get Eng.
fish sailors for any sum less than So 1Os.,
or nearly S12, per month. In many
cases shipmasters have been obliged to
pay as high as e5. 1t is quite common
thing for the white sailors of vessels from
American and European ports to desert
at Hong Kong, Shanghai or Yokohama,
and to replace them shippers have been
compelled to seek native help. This has
given the Acknowledged individuals a
chance to learn seafaring, and they have
succeeded SO well that rough estimate
by an authority on the subject places the
number of Chinese sailors on vessels in
the Atlantic and Pacific trade at fully
10000. Four-fifths of the number are
rated as A, BIS, or full-hedged sailors.
The remainder are confined to the ships

A Serious Defect.

Thousands of tourists, and among them
many art connoisseurs, have thoroughly
examined the bronze doors on the east
front of the senate wing of the Capitol,
but it was reserved for horny listed son
of toll to discover defect in these works
of American artisans. These doors were
cast at Chicopee, Mass, and are intended
to depict scenes in the early history of
the United States. Prominent in one of
the center panels, on the right hand side
of the entrance, is figure on horseback
supposed to represent the Father of his
Country returning at the head of his vic
torious troops. ''He must have just
come out of pasture with his horse" re-
marked stalwart granger after survey
ing the door intently, ''for he has no
stirrups; and just look, his legs bangle
in consequence" This criticism was
found to be true, and is the only draw
back to the enjoyment of the spirited
scenes portrayed in bronze, for all the
other panels have generals properly
equipped if they happen to be on horse
