st. Louis Officials.
A special meeting of the council was
called yesterday afternoon for last night
for the purpase of taking action to re-
ceive the st. Louis officials, who will ar
rive in the city at O'Clock tonight.
The object of the visit is to inspect the
system of disposing of city garbage,
which question is now agitating the city
of st. Louis. There were eleven alder
men present-Kavanaugh, Minea. Gull
len. Bickle, Conley, Weber, Book, Blom,
Pratt, Sullivan and President Hamm.
The object of the meeting was stated,
Whereupon Aid. Kavanaugh moved that
a committee be appointed to receive
the visitors at the depot, to con-
siSt of eleven members. President
Hamm suggested that those present
constitute the committee. and that the
committee meet the st. Louisans at
their hotel instead of the depot, as they
came as the guests of the AZatlne com
pany and not of the city. 1t was finally
decided to meet tonight at 8 o'clock at
the council chamber, and thence pro-
coed to the hotel where the deputation
is to stop. President Hamm urges that
every member of the board of alder
men be present tonight at sharp 8.

National Educationa al Association.

Prof. John W. Greer, principal of
North high school, Minneapolis. spent
yesterday IN this city arranging for the
Minneapolis school exhibit at the Ma
tional Educational convention. He de-
cided the assembly hall at the manual
training school would be the best place.
Minneapolis is to have a magnificent
exhibit of art, drawing and manual
training school work. Principal Ben
nett, secretary of the exhibit committee,
finds himself very busy arranging for
the exhibits of applicants. The Pratt
institute, of Brooklyn, N. Y, is
to have the largest exhibit of
any one institution. They will occupy
four rooms at the manual training
school. The st. Paul executive
committee heartily appreciates the great
assistance given by the city teachers.
In soliciting places for board and lodg-
ing and other ways they have done all
they could. The executive committee
will meet Monday at p. m. The col
lege department has secured the Port

Comnapy n. First Regiment.

An enthusiastic drill was held on
Wednesday evening, when forty-seven
men answered roll call. The election
for second lieutenant on the same even
ing resulted in the selection of Private
j. G. McCreight on the second ballot.
There are several members who we're
mustered in by Col. Bend on the even
ing of Feb. "a, who have not been pres
ent since then; neither have they paid
any dues or fines, and, under the state
laws, such men have laid themselves
liable to arrest. Such being the case, it
might be we'll for these parties to settle
with their company commander soon, or
they may have opportunity to do so
with the judge of some court. Non
payment OF fines and neglect of duty is
declared a misdemeanor under the
penal code. and non-payment of dues is
collectable by suit, in the name of the
state of Minnesota. The party sued,
however, can take his choice of paying
at once or occupying quarters in the
''Hotel Bean" until same are paid, as
others have had to do.

These scientific paradoxes are grouped
together in Blackwood's Magazine: The
water which browns us, fluent stream,
can be walked upon as ice. The bullet
which, when fired from musket, carries
death, will be harmless if ground to dust
before being fired. The crystallized part
of the oil of roses, so graceful in its fra
GRANGE, a solid at ordinary temperatures,
though really volatile, is compound
substance containing exactly the same
elements, and in exactly the same pro-
portions, as the gas with which we light
our streets. The tea which we daily
drink with benefit and pleasure produces
palpitations, nervous tremblings, and
even paralysis, if taken in excess; yet the
peculiar organic agent called theme, to
which tea owes its qualities, may Be
taken by itself las theme, not as tea)
without any appreciable effect.
The water which will allay our burn
ing thirst augments it when congealed
into snow, 80 that it is stated by ex-
plorers Of the Arctic regions that the na-
tives prefer enduring the utmost ex-
tremity of thirst rather than attempt to
remove it by eating snow" Yet if the
snow be melted it becomes drinkable
water. Nevertheless, although if melted
before entering the mouth it assuages
thirst like other water, when melted in
the mouth it has the opposite effect. To
render this paradox more striking, We
have only to remember that ice, which
melts more slowly in the mouth, is very
efficient in allaying thirst.

A Courteous Prince.

"Do not be afraid, Louis" said the
Empress Eugene. holding her son in her
arms.
II am not, mamma, answered the boy
of II; II have not forgotten that my
name is Napoleon"
The cutter in which the empress and
her son were being conveyed at night
from steamer had struck rock, and
the waves were dashing over ii at the
time this conversation took place.
The young prince, who afterward lost
his life in the war between the English
and the Zulus, had one trait not common
to children-he treated his playmates
and all who served him with marked
courtesy. The favorite companion of hi.
sports was Louis Conneau, the son of tn.
emperor's physician. They were daily
together, and many storms ruffled thei1
intercourse.
One day, when there was to be state
dinner at the Tuileries, at which the
prince was not to appear, he invited
Louis Conneau to dine with him. Both
lads were very fond of strawberry cream,
and the prince. in order to give an agree
able surprise to his playmate, requested
that dish to be prepared for the dessert.
During the morning the two boys
quarreled, and Louis Conneau returned
home. The prince, too proud to show
any emotion at his playmate's departure,
took his seat at the dinner table and
tried to eat. But when the strawberry
cream appeared his self control gave
way. The tears rolled down his cheeks,
a. he said to a servant:
"Take the cream to Conneau, and tell
him haven't the heart to eat it without
him!"-Youth's Companion.

We, who are always grateful to ou,
benefactors, honor the inventor Of the
art Of silk culture with real perpetual
cult. Besides the temples which we have
erected in all the corners Of the empire,
her majesty the empress goes every year
at the Matching season, in person, with
all her suite, and in great pomp, to the
field of the mulberry, to sacrifice to the
goddess who was the queen of the En-
peror Hoang-T. After the ceremony at
the temple, her majesty, followed by her
ladies, goes into the field, and, surrounded
by the farmers wives, cooks some null
berry leaves and lays them on basket
containing the newly hatched worms.
The festival is closed with her winding a
cocoon by way of setting an example, in
the presence Of the people, and distrib-
uting gifts to those persons who have
been reported by the authorities Of their
villages Is most worthy by reason Of
their fidelity in attention to the care o.
the silk worms.
This ceremony, which is one Of the
most important of those her majesty has
to perform during the year, is great
incentive to the silk raising population.
who cannot neglect their own work
when they see their sovereign occupied
in the same way. An old proverb says
that "an idle farmer causes two persons
to die Of hunger, and woman who will
not weave will see ten dying Of cold"
The proverb illustrates the value of en-
couragement, and shows that silk worm
raising and weaving are duties Of the
women.-"Chinese Silk Lore" by Gen.

The Friday market in Tripoli, Barbary,
held in the oasis, a little distance from
the town, is picturesque in the extreme.
On all sides the exasperating grating Of
we'll pulleys produces a motif too Wag-
merriam for uneducated ears, in q pastoral
symphony played by full orchestra Of
buzzing insects, grasshoppers whirring
shrilly, and the sun scorched palms
cracking their dry branches. In each
garden rise the two arms of a well, be-
tween which an enormous leathern bag
mounts and descends on rude wooden
pulley, tho chief instrument Of the above
mentioned music, discharging at each
trip food Of water.
The negro laborer uses camel, an OK,
sometimes his wife, to give the motion
to tho machine by going up and down
an incline plane. The movement does
not stop day or night during the nine
months Of the dry season, and it il
thanks to that water, which is life,
thanks to constant care, that the YER
due Of semi-tropical vegetation blooms
gayly in the sand.
Under the protection Of pomegranate,
fg, orange, lemon and banana trees,
through whose heavy foliage the sun
percolates, flourish maize and wheat,
vegetables and flowers of all sorts.
Above it all the stately palms balance
their heads in the superheated atmos-
phere --Scribner's Magazine.

Keep The Rascals Down !

Our Republican friends In Brattle-
boro have fairly got their feet upon
the necks of the little, contemplate
would be bosses that have so long
been a stencil in the nostrils of hon.
est men throughout the State, and a
blot upon the fair name of their hand

allowed a word of advice it would
say keep the rascals down." Hold
your advantage by jumping right on
with both feet as soon as they begin
to wriggle. They'll soon show signs
of life. They are now buried in
slime, but this is invigorating to such
fellows, and by and by they'll begin
to crawl out to sun. Then is your
time. Jump right on and stamp the

1t is a common remark among the
advocates Of high license that there is
more liquor drank under prohibition
than there would be under good Ii
cense law. At the Rutland license
pow-wow held last week the speaker,
one Sutherland from Rochester, n.
Y, gave this as one of the reasons
why prohibition was defeated in Penn
sylvania: "The combined power of
the liquor makers and dealers through
out the United States, who furnished
the 'sinews of war; Money was
used without stint and in every con-
ceivable way to defeat the amend
ment." These fellows should enlight-
en- these "liquor makers and dealers"
so that they will not oppose their best
interest.

Hot water and Dyspepsia.

/. Another hydriatic method, which acts
by removing the cause of disturbance, is
the slipping of hot water an hour before
meals, in dyspepsia, writes DR.. 8.
Baruoh, in Times and Register. The hot
water craze, which now has taken q firm
hold upon the lay public, is but the legiti-
mate outcome Of . valuable therapeutic
application of water, whose simplicity
commends it at once to the Judgment Of
the intelligent physician. Brought into
prominence by DR.. Salisbury, who COM
mitted the error of most enthusiasts Of
regarding it as panacea for most dis
eases, it has now been adopted BY the
profession Is most valuable agent in
many gastric troubles. By removing the
process of fermentation, by cleansing the
mucous membrane Of mucous, it restores
tone and vigor to the gastric lining, and
enables the natural forces to come into
play. 1t is important to observe strict
compliance with the rule laid down by
the originator, viz : that the water should
be clipped as hot as possible, and that an
hour should elapss before a meal is
taken. Examples Of failure due to neg
lect Of this rule are numerous in the sx-
perience Of all medical men.

Letters from the People.

Editor Sitter january Goth, 1890,
the big imported gun of high license was
fired by some of the noted citizens of
Rutland. and as soon as victory is achiev-
ed, and vested power secured, the day
will be as legal holiday for all coming
generations. The report has been heard
twenty miles away, and as the smoke
rises we discover the Sumpter of Temper
ance and civilization still standing firm,
while some of the gunners are floundering
in the cesspool of public opinion from
the recoil of the overcharged ordinonce
1t will not take the average Vermonter
long to decide whether or no he will
place the entire liquor traffic of Vermont
in the hands of few long purses and
pass fugitive slave laws and allow them
to enter legally the home circle and pluck
the fairest flowers from the greenhouse
of affection, fathers husbands and sons and
drag them down to the hell of the drunk
ard. The Rutland Herald asks for argu-
ments to defend restrictive liquor laws.
Better ask the mother for arguments to
defend her boy from the temptations of
the greedy legalized rumseller No argu-
ments needed when every heart-throb
testifies.

On the day before the Brattleboro
caucus the Hooker party circulated
in Brattleboro five hundred copies of
the Springfield Union containing a
lying article against postmaster
Childs. 1t is said in Brattleboro that
one Sherman, of the firm of Sherman
& Jenne, insurance agents, was the
author. 1t is stated that before he
sent it to the paper he submitted it to
the GREAT HIT, who pronounced it
all right. Sherman has since been
obliged to withdraw his charges and
circulate 500 copies of the paper con-
tanning it. What a precious set to be
sure This was entirely characters
tic of the tribe. 1t sounded the
height, depth and breadth of their
brains and character. No wonder
they are despised by all honest men.

Immediately says he is not voter; then
the Mr.. Hit throws a lasso, and says
this way, and into the ante room they dis

his sympathies were in the the last
Presidential election, and if he was
for Harrison, all right, if not he imme-

he brands him on the ear with red-hot
iron, so there is no further doubt or
chance for him to vote again.
The fellows feel bad, and we'll they
may. Levi worked hard and so did
George-and after having the band all
engaged and buying all the colored fire
in town they could, and, worst of all,
Levi told Mcclure, Tom Harmon, Pat
Connors and d. L. Herrick to go to the
armory and clean up those guns and have
them ready; and particularly gave them
instructions to clean them this time, and
not have them as nasty as they were down
in New York! They couldn't spend much
time on the guns, for time was precious,
and they must get back to the organ
shops to do their missions there. Well,
the poor fellows got left! They filed out
of the hall with telegraphic speed; Levi
didn't come down after supper; ana
George led the defeated party out of the
hall. He had hold of the venerable "Me
Too's" hand and they were last seen GO
ing round the Town Hall. Me Too
went down the bank and took the track
for home, while poor George was left
alone, but probably was all right, for he
was in the rear of drug store aud prob
ably got his medicine, which would, of
course, brace him up so he could get
home. George will probably not under
take another fight until it is generally
known that he has come out in favor of
Prohibition, when lie will try to run for
Governor.
