WORLDS FAIR COMMISSION.

Saturdays Globe contains the'follow-
ing report of the Worlds Fair Com
mission in ST. Paul, Friday:
At the meeting of the worlds fair
commission, held at the governors
office Friday, L. P. Hunt, of Man
kato, was elected superintendent at a
salary of 5000 per month for the first
year, 1925 month for the second year
and at the rate of $500 month for his
services in 1898. Mr.. Hunt will be-
gin work at once.
The commission did not issue an>ad-
dress to the people, as was expected,
but authorized the secretary to issue
call for public meeting to be held
at the state capital Aug. IA, at 10
o'clock a. M, to devise means for rails
ing 100000 additional for the fair.
Plans will be submitted by the COM
missioners for the approval of the
delegates. If it should not meet with
their approval, it is expected that
they will make such suggestions as
they may see fit, and they will receive
careful consideration. 1t is expected
that delegates from every chamber of
commerce, city or village council, or
other organized body in the state will
be present. Where there are no organ
lied bodies the appointment of dele
gates is left with the county commits
sioners. In this way it is hoped that
the money will be raised in a short
Minnesota enabled thereby
to do herself credit at the fair.

THE council of Congregational
churches now in session in London
have resolved that the age of consent
in females should be raised to sixteen
years. There is some satisfaction in
the reflection that the Minnesota
State legislature took an advance step
in this direction and made sixteen
years the limit. 1t should be so
throughout the civilized world.

IT would pay some of the leading
watering places of the east to give
Mr.. Blaine bonus to spend his vaca-
ton with them next year. If the

to declare the Secretary to be dying

worth millions to the place of outing.

1t is evident, then, that the spirit of
competition must be curbed sufficient
ly to force managers to conform to
circumstances. If legislation compels
a reduction of expenses below the
limit of safety, or if inadequate traffic
limits the revenue so as to prevent
the maintenance of the line as it
should be, there is no alternative but
slower trains and greater care. Where
speed is incompatible with safety the
time table should be made to conform
to the necessities of the company.

The House n Woman Built.

It is seldom that woman plans and
erects house precisely according to
her own idea. Some five years ago,
however, foolhardy Bridgeport man
gave his wife full permission to plan
and build a house as she wanted 1t.
Then he went away to South America
and was gone year. When lie came
back she ushered him into dwelling
consisting of a parlor, kitchen, bed
room and twenty-eight closets. In
each closet there We're several shelves
and upward of four dozen hooks.
Still, when the Bridgeport man re-
tired that night he left his clothes
piled on a chair. And he did not
complain until the next morning af-
ter breakfast, when his wife met him
with board off a dry goods box, q
dozen nails and flat iron, and asked
him if he could't put up another shelf
in that small closet which opened OIL
the large front closet.
His left thumb was still sore from
putting up shelf before he went to
South America. He seized his hat and
started down town, and as he went out
he noticed hooks on the outside Ol
the front door for the morning milk
man to hang his wares on, and other
hooks on the front gate on which dis.
tributors of advertising might suspend
their literary efforts. \ week later
this house was burned down under
suspicious circumstances, but though
the Bridgeport man offered a remark
able large reward for the discovery OF
the incendiary, nothing ever came OF
it.-New York Tribune.

EDUCATION OF GIRLs.-One of the
greatest of living physicians speaks in
emphatic terms of the Importance
of giving to girls, equally with boys,
some special aim in life.
He, as we'll as many other earnest
men in his profession, is ready to
declare that to the want of a special
interest in life many of the diseases
that sap the strength prematurely are
due. Hundreds Of cases Of chronic in
validism would never have occurred
had the sufferer been obliged, for
instance, to earn her own living.
The education Of girls is too incom-
plete, often ending when, in reality, it
should only be half done. Parents,
whether rich or poor, ought to give to
their daughters as well as to their sons
a thorough training in some particular
line of work, something which they
could turn to practical use. There are
so many avenues now open to women
that there need be no more trouble to
select an occupation for girl than fol
O boy, but whatever work is chosen IT
should be taken up in earnest.

The Kitchen Door.

A double spring for the door into
the kitchen cost little. The door will
swing both ways, and prevent its
standing open. Heat, flies, and odors
have less opportunity to make the
dining-room uncomfortable if the
door is so hung. If the spring is not
liked, a tall single or double fold
screen to stand before the kitchen
door is desirable. A clean kitchen isad-
mirable, but the disorder necessary to
meal, and getting and other domestic
work is not a pleasant sight to accom-
pany every meal, and the fact is that
the kitchen-door does not stay closed.
Another useful tritie is to line the
small silver-drawer with white cotton
flannel, first boilingit it to remove all
traces of the chlorine used in bleech-
ing, or else using the unbleeched. DO
this and choose a low-hung drawer
for the noxious gases that tarnish rise
and the needed polishing of the
silver will be lessened.-Harpers Ba-
Zar.

"If Ye Love Me"

"If you love me, keep my COM
mandments." The man or woman
who has heard the gospel, believed it.,
repented, confessed with the mouth,
and has been baptized in the name OF
Christ, should study to be always will
ing and anxious to keep the com
mindments of God. The individual
who studies the life of Christ and
that of the apostles carefully, desiring
to be benefited, will certainly not be
Disappointed. A man thinks, talks,
and acts to some extent like his asso-
ciates. The more man studies the
life of Christ as it is revealed in the
Bible the more he will talk and act
like Christ in his dealings with man
kind in every respect. The keeping
of the commandments depends upon
the love one has for God. God is love.
He has manifested his love to the
world though the Bible, which Paul
calls the revelation. Men generally
love things which are lovely; and one
great reason why they do not love God
more and keep his commandments IS
because they are ignorant of what IS
said of him in the Bible. The more a
man studies the Bible with a desire. to
do what God has communicated
him, the more of Gods love he finds
revealed in it.

CuItiVatin- Disease.

The internal organs do rot want to
be thought about. A mans stomach
is healthy when he does not know he
has one. When we are conicious of
the existance of any internal organ
that organ is sick. The internal ma
chinery was intended to do its work
unconsciously. When we begin to
think about our stomachs, digestion
is arrested. John Hunter said he got
gout by thinking about his great toe.
A man who sits at the table wonder
ing if baked potatoes will agree with
him, and whether fruits and vegita-
bles are a good combination, is in u
fair way to have trouble with the SIM
plest food. Thinking about the inter
nal organs gets them in sort of stage
fright, and they are powerless.-Good

Prosperity often makes man vor'
tex instead of fountain, so instead o
throwing out he learns to draw in.
Those are the best Chriitians who
are more careful to reform themselves
than to censure others.
TO overlook nothing in others is Of
ten a proof that we overlook a great
deal in ourselves.
God is never dependent on even the
strongest man but the strongest man
is always dependent on God.
He who reins within himself, anC
rules passions, fears, and is more

To Prevent u Piano from Drying Up

A piano tuner, who says that pianos
frequently deteriorate, because they
are allowed to become too dry, pre-
scribes this remedy:
"Keep a growing plant in the room,
and so long as your plant thrives,
your piano ought to, or else theirs
something wrong with it. Just try
it, and see how much more water you
will have to put in the flower pot in
the room where your piano is, than
YOU use in any other room, Some
people keep huge vase or urn, with
a sopping wet sponge in it, near or
under the piano, and keep it moist
ened, just as Il cigar dealer keeds his
stock. They keep this up all the

The Editor Surprised.

Inns has been "a week of surprises
Tor the editor of the INDEPENDENT.
On Wednesday morning as he was
leaving the School of Methods he WAS
surprised at the foot of the stairs Inv
number of young ladies from Star
Valley and Sprucemont and pre-.
sented with beautiful 1. 0, O. F..
watch charm, as token of their an.
probation of his services as one of the
instructors Of the school.
And this morning, while he was
seated on the tripod, with pencil,
shears and paste pot before him, en-
gagged in his editorial labors he was
waited upon by committee of the
teachers who informed him that his
presence was required at the parlor
OF the Depot Hotel. Being a bashful
man and not much accustomed to the
+soclety Of the fair sex, he hesitated
about accompanying the committee
to the place of execution. The orders
were peremptory, however, and he
went. On reaching the parlor he was
told TO sit down and wait the course
OF events. After few moments
spent IN social conversation one of
tho teachers of the county, in behalf
OF her associates, presented him with
fine meerschaum pipe and tobacco
enough to last several months. Now
The editor being something of
smoker accepted the pipe and tobacco
in few remarks, assuring the douors
that the gift Was highly appreciated.
Not being satisfied with the punish
rnent already inflicted upon him he
was waited upon again in his Office
by a committee and assured that
there was something left over of the
amount collected and he was again
arraigned and presented with one of
the Eagle Pen Co.'S fountain pens.
These gifts are appreciated by the
recipient far beyond their money
value, and as the years come and 20,
he will look upon them as a sure evil
dence that his humble efforts in the
first School of Methods ever held in
Elko county were appreciated by the
teachers in attendance.
