High School Council.

The meeting of the high school coun-
ell was under the presidency of s. s.
Parr, who read a paper entitled, where
Shall We Look for Better High School
Teaching?" The principal conditions
essential for the Improvement of high
school teaching were Q) more rational
aims; (2) better instructors; 90 better
supervision: (4 better work in grades
below, and o. more intelligent public
sentiment. The most pressing need of
high school teachers is a systematic
knowledge of the philosophy of the
education they bestow. Without it
they become amateurs. The supersti-
ton of method, which presses so heavily
on the lower grades, does not disturb
the high school. The higher we ascend
among schools the better is the instruc-
ton.
The schools needed better supervision
than the system now in vogue. 1t comes
after the work is done, instead of be-
tore. In all cases of incompetent teach
ing, it is like locking a stable after the
slorse is stolen. The tests now employed

A GRAND SHOWING
Made by the Stockyards City for
the Past Year.

Made by the StOCkyafuS Clty IOr
the Past Year.
Great strides have been made at South
st. Paul during the past year IN busi-
ness Improvements and building opera
tons. The sales by the matchmaking
. and manufacturing concerns reached a
total of over Sl2. 600. 900, against S6,000,-
coo in 1889. an increase of fully 100
per cent. No financial weakness has
marred the operations of the year. and
the business men there take very
eompIacent view of the situation.
Among the new enterprises ). }.
O'Leary & Sons opened the new pack
ing house in November. and have sur
prised the live stock shippers by the
extent and activity of their business.
Their purchases of hogs have been
nearly as large as those Of the pioneer
South st. Paul concern. The Minnesota
Packing and Provision company and
the O'LearyS have found it desirable
to prepare dressed beef department,
which they will open very soon on
large scale. The pioneer company has
made sales of nearly S6,000.000 OF prod
ucts, and its trake with Europe and the
South. as we'll as the Northwest, is coll
tinually increasing. Its general man.
ager, Frank Clifton, has, during Inc
past year more than ever shown his
marked ability, and the success of the
concern with which lie is connected has
its beneficial effect upon all the enter
prises OF South st. Paul.
In building up these great industries,
which i'll three years have become such
valuable adjuncts to st. Paul, the union
stockyards has been the leading factor.
They have outStripped the opening
years of similar enterprises at Kansas
City and other places in a most remark
able degree, and they have proved the
prominent position that healthful Min
nesota deserves in the live stock bust
ness. During the past year the receipts
at the union stockyards, South St. Paul,
were as follows:

The question of purity in food is a
matter of the greatest Importance, and
deserves most careful and constant con-
sideration; yet so ingenious are the
methods nowadays adopted to adulter-
ate, and the processes employed to
cheaper manufacture, that it is often
very difficult to determine the merits of
any particular article of food. With
w. Baker 81 Co.'s Breakfast Cocoa. how
ever, no such difficulty arises, for it is
produced from the finest cocoa seeds
only, exclusively by mechanical proc
esses, and as no chemicals whatever
are used in its preparation, all posi-
bility of impurity is avoided. The re-
suit is that w. Baker Il Co.'s Breakfast
Cocoa is not excelled in solubility, and
is not approached in purity by any sim
liar product in the market. and it still
remains, as for over one hundred years
past. the standard of purity and excell-
ence, and the most healthful and nutri.
tive cocoa in the world.

The Brand of Cain.

Under the above heading Edward
Wakefield discusses in an English re.
view the bloodthirsty proclivities ofthe
average American.
Mr.. Wakefield is sensational ard ex-
travagant, but it ia impossible to read his
article apd glance g. our newspapers
without admitting that he is not fal
wrong.
Within the past week the murder of
whole family in Florida, and the killing
of his wife by Georgia husband because
the woman refused to assassinate neigh.
Dor of whom the husband was jealous,
have shocked our readers, and within the
same period nearly every State in the
Union has furnished something horri-
BILE to be added to the criminal record.
A long red list of murders might east
ly be made up for every month in the
year. We talk sorrowfully about the
lax morals OF certain European countries,
but in crimes of violence we outnum.
Der them IS per cent, and each census
shows that while their criminals are de-
creasing, ours are rapidly increasing in
number.
Our English reviewer does not strain
the situation when he says that the
brand of Cain is upon us. We are in
temperate, reckless people, with little
regard for the rights or the lives of 9th
ers. Even in our older States the law
is frequently openly defed. Men wear
their legal duties as lightly as they do
their religion, and secret assassinations,
as we'll as murders, are beginning to crop
out in business, politics, and domestic
life. Two of our Presidents have been
assassinated in less than generation.
Preachers and millionaires are targets
for pistols and bombs. Husbands and
wives murder each other. Sleeping fam.
lilies in lone country houses are butcher
ed. And then the ordinary homicides-
they are too numerous to classify.
What is the remedy? Frankly we do
not know. Perhaps no speedy change
for the better is to be expected. This
young nation may have to wallow for
generations in the slough of drunken.
ness, and glut its murderous thirst for
blood. It will take time for Christianity
and civilization to do their perfect work.
Despite our boasting, the church and
the law have gained scarcely more than
good foothold in this new country.
Their influence and their results are
still in the future. That they will
finally triumph over evil we cannot doubt,
but it is to be feared that for many
long year to come the brand Of Cain will
be only too common among us.-Atlan.

perhaps, be better without. In meas.

of an incident in the history of civil SER

whose visit was for the purpose of sub.

and the attainment thereby of a clerical
position in one of the departments. On
the day of the examination he sat him

Governor Thompson made no direct
answers to the queries. He, however,
showed by his comments, as he read them
aloud to Mr.. Lyman, who had come into
the Governors room, that he was pretty
