oAUf I'll 1LAoCl d.
A very successful financial and
enjoyable entertainment was given
at the. M. e. church, Saturday
evening, by the young people Of
Milaca. The principal feature be-
ing music. An extended pro
gramme was prepared, consisting
Of instrumental solos upon the
flute, clarionet and organ, vocal
solos, quartets, trios and choruses,
sandwiched in with readings and
Rotations, comical and serious.
Old and young participated in the
event. A portion Of the local tai
ent of Milaca was interested, and,
aided by friends from St. Paul,
made a very pleasant feature in
Milaca social life, and Judging
from the frequent and uproalious
applause was keenly appreciated
by the people who filled the house.

EDUCATIONAL.
BY NC. D. w.

Miss Huse spent four days
visiting the primary schools of
Minneapolis and came back full Of
new ideas and enthusiasm.
Prof. Moran is to be congratu-
lated on the good work he is doing
at Elk River. All the depart
ments seemed well filled, espec-
tally SO, were the primary and
high school rooms. $780,. -
! The Board of Education of the
village schools has extended the
spring term two weeks, making
the school year 81 months. It
would seem as if this were the
happy mean as they have tried the
extremes, nine and ten months.
The librarians record show
there were 10 volumes taken from
the library. This speaks we'll for
so small a library. Of course the
fact that it is new has something
to do with it. We hope another
year that an addition of so or Is
volumes of juvenile books, such as
will be adopted to the intermedi-
ate and second primary grades,
will be added to our library.
Miss Larkins, teacher of the
second primary school, was given
the third and fourth year pupils
and the new room, but on account
Of the inequality in numbers Of the
two primary departments, another
grade, the second year pupils, were
given her. These were those who
should have been promoted at the
end of the present term. This
necessitated the change of rooms
with the two departments. Miss
Il Huse now has the little ones, about
z thirty, in the new room.
The writer recently visited the
schools of AnolSa and Elk River.

THE PARSONS CORNER.
A. PARSON EDITOR.

WHAT is PRAcTIcAL CHRIS
TIANITY?-If we look to Christ
himself for an answer he taught
those who came to his ministry
that to love God with all the heart,
and our neighbors as ourselves,
was the fulfilling of the whole law.
OF him it was said Gle went
about doing good" The story of
suffering revealed by the Nazarene
is wonderful beyond description.
If we let St. James answer he
will tell us that ''pure religion and
undcfilcd before God and the
Father is this, to visit the father
less and widows in their affiiction,
and to keep himself unspotted
from the world.' .~-..
If we look to the St. Cloud
Times for an answer we can find a
much easier way. Love for God
andsa blameless life, are no part of
the requirements. A spasm of
generosity occasionally, never 60
ing to church, and making no pro
fession of christianity are the only
essentials. The editors "Good
Samaritan deserves all the praise
he gave him, but we see no occa-
sion for the sings he uses so
freely on the people who go to
church and couple a christian pro-
fession with their deeds of charity.
Perhaps though, that is the way
the editor has of patting himself
on the back.
The II AM HOLIER THAN
Thou FELLOWS. Who are they?
1t cannot be christians for they
may not enter the christian life I'M
til they acknowledge that they are
sinners. [ doubt if a christian in
the State can be found that will
not freely acknowledge himself a
sinner before God, and in need of
pardon and grace. But there are
some who will tell you in one
breath that they ''make no profess
sion' to being religious, and then
for the next half hour will enlarge
upon their virtues. Is love and
loyalty to Christ such crime that
it overshadows all the merits of
christian life to acknowledge ones
self 4 disciple of Christ?
A GOOD BooK.-A good book,
whether novel or not, is one that
leaves you farther on than when
you took it up. If, when you
drop it, it drops you down in the
same old spot, with no finer out
look, no cleared vision, no stimu-
lated desires for that which is bet
ter and higher, it is in no sense

CHURCH ETIQUETTE. If all who
disturb church services by their
bad behaviour would direct their
attentions to the minister there
would be more hope of remedy.
1t is said to have happened in one
of the good old Covenanter's
churches in New York State. He
was a young man and candidate at
that, but in the midst of his ser
mon he paused, fixed his eyes on
the reigning belle of the town and
said: Il regret to state that I am
an exceedingly nervous man, and
am annoyed by young lady in
the congregation who has been en-
deavoring to flirt with me this
morning. | have neither the time
nor inclination to return the COM
pliment at this time, but may do
so later on" He got his call.

would be more of an injury to him than bene-
fit. The habits of discipline and industry here
learned is of more value to a boy than the
freedom to run at large, and probably end in
becoming "botch," and that most miserable
of all beings, worthless tramp printer"
if not criminal.
Not all the boys assigned to our printing-of-
flee have remained in it until the present time.
Several have been tried and found wanting for
various reasons. Only four of our boys have
been paroed. The first named above remained
in the office eighteen months and was then re-
leased What has become of him is unknown
to us, he having, it is sad left the State shortly
after his release. The two next named remain
ed in the office thirty and thirty-two months,
and they are conducting themselves WELL Civ
ing good satisfaction to their employers, and
promise to become not only good printers but
also good and respectable citizens. Thus far we
are proud of them. One other, who spent near
ly year in the Office, when paroled got en-
ployment in another occupation. He, also, is
said to be conducting himself we'll. We have
strong hopes that the boys still under instruc-
tion here will also do well after they leave us.
All indications point that way now.

gain knowledge, and at the same time useful
occupation, in this department than in any other
now here. The printing business is one of the
best of the mechanical trades, and in more
general use throughout the entire country than
most others. In nearly every village and city
there are newspapers and printing offices, and
they are becoming more numerous every day.
There is always demand for good printers
those who understand the business thorough
ly-and a good, sober and reliable workman
never need fear of obtaining employment at
fair wages. For this reason we say the State
has done wise thing in giving SO many of our
poor boys good start in life by enabling them
to learn so useful an occupation. Our printing
Office boys are employed about five hours each
day, and in the afternoons attend school three

THOMAS BROWN, a brother of the above

description answers the same for hin. in every
respect. The seeds of consumption were plain

at the time of his brothers death that it would

CINCINNATI, July 10.-Fire broke out
in the great building occupied by A. E.
Burkhardt & Co., manufacturers and
wholesale and retail dealers in furs and
fur goods. The building is at the south
east corner of Elm and Fourth streets.
1t is the property of William A. Good
man, banker and financier; was IS feet
wide on Fourth street and extended
back $50 feet. The building is nearly
new and cost over 5000, 600 Burkhardt
added $50, GOO i'll interior adornlnent
within the last two years Burkhardt
valued the stock in the burned building
at BET Ween six and seven hundred thou
sand dollars. In addition TO his own
immense stock he stores great quanti-
ties OF valuable furs for citizens every
summer, and these furs are ali in the
burning building. He knows nothing
about Ills insurance at the present mo-
ment, but it is his habit to insure Well
Goodman, the owner Of the building, is
also good insurer.
The flames spread with great rapidity,
lighting up the city for half Il mile
around. Soon the walls began to crun-
BE, al the builIing with its contents
became COLI let, loss. The storeroom

The east frontage On Fourth street of
the Goodman building was occupied by
ID nry Geirshofer {, Co, dealers in
clothing and manufacturers. They es-
innate their STOCK AZ $500, 900. Probably
$125 900 worth OF it Is under tarpaulins,

ashes.
Geirshofer's loss will not be less than
$3.50, 200, and they have that amount OF
insurance, so that their loss will be fully
covered. The loss on the building will
not be less than $3.50, 900, and if Berk-
hardt's estimate of his stock is correct,
the loss by fire will reach $i,l00,OOO at
least
