THE contract between the state andD.
D. Merrill, made fifteen years ago, for
furnishing text books for the schools ex-
pires in a few months. The legislature
is considering the ACCESSIBILITY of renew
ing it or or another in its place. The
HERALD fully appreciates the desireabil-
ity of having good, cheap, uniform text
books and it seems as though the legis-
lature;ought to provide for them, but
lust hew4to handle the matter is a seri-
Gus question. The contract just, about
to expire was gigantic failure in every
respect. If another is to be entered into
it is hoped that the details will be more
carefully looked into. 1t is a serious
matterito those who have the books to
pay for.

PERSONAL ASSESSMENTS.

1t is proposed that when mortgage,
note, or other evidence credit is assessed
that it be so stamped by the assessor,
and that no action at law be allowed to
be commenced to enforce the payment of
such evidence of credit unless it has been
properly assessed. A good many methods
have been proposed to get a full list of
personal property on the assessors
books, but so far without MAJ ked sue
cess. This plan seems to be more feasible
than any other we have seen. Its prin-
cipal merit lies in the fact that it will be
selfenforcing. The greatest care is used
by lenders to have their securities in such
shape as to be recognized by law. All
PROVISIONS affecting their legality will be
carefully looked after by the creditor,
and will entail no cost or risk on the part
of the state. This law seems to be cap
able filing long felt want. Let it be
given trial. We believe 1t will accom-
plishsall its friend hope for it.

We are delighted to be informed by
Homer Greene, in the North American
Review, that lawyers can be honest if it
were only profitable to be so, but the ap-
proyal of their clients and the apprecia-
ton of the public are wanting i'll any
such course. 1t has been our opinion
that they could not be honest even ifthey
wished to be so, and that therefore their
little .eccentrities, were pardonable. The

The Blackbird DAYS.

JAN 80, 81 and Feb. 1 are famous in
the neighborhood of Brescia, CONSTANT
nople, Florence, Italy, and along the
Danube and the Rhine, as the 'Black.
bird days" Acurious medieval legend
says that originally all species of the
graekels (blackbrds) were of creamy
white color; that it became black be.
cause during one year in the Middle
Ages the three days above mentioned
were 30 cold that all birds in central
and southern Europe took refuge in the
chimneys. At Brescia, Mr.. Swanson
says, the three days are celebrated with
a feast called II giorni della meria, =
meaning the feast Of the transformatiou

WHO BUY THE FIVE COMBS

What IN Inquiry ut the Leading sesree
Revealed to Reporter.
'sAre fine combs as much bought e
everf' was the rather startling question
addressed to the head Of one Of the
best known dry goods stores in the
city. The questioned one looked seri-
ous, then broad smile of amusement
spread over his ample countenance and
he answered slowly:
sWell, they are not falling into dis
use by any means. We sell as many as
q hundred week."
81 suppose the trade Is confined to a
certain class of people, Is it notf' vent
ured the scribe.
mo, indeed, that's where people
make mistake; all school girl outfits
contain fine comb, and it is the same
with boys when they are sent to board
ing schools. So we have quite trade
with mothers who pack up this sun-
memorable with jams and cakes OF
every description. One would be as
tonished to see an elegant looking
woman in velvet and furs walk up to
this counter. buy four or five bottles of
the most expensive perfume, and finish
by adding to her purchases an ivory
fine tooth comb; but such is the case.
Don't look down on that article of
toilet. Some of our very best custom
ems buy them, as well as the frowsy rem
try who come Saturday nights for Sum

and crzxats and clean collars"
well, began the head and propri.
etor of an up town store where more
business is done in half day than
some more pretentious stores do in
week of Mondays, 1--WE keep on selling
our fine combs at pretty brisk rate.
We sell a good many to some Of our
incest customers. Some people think
combing the hair with astiff, fine comb
gives life to the hair and invigorata
the scalp. That is most likely why the
sale in that line does not decrease. But
it is a mistake Fine combs create
dandruf. Letpeople wash their heads
well and there will be no use for them
at all
Notwithstanding this, some of the
fine combs are quite high priced ar
ticles, some being real tortoise shell,
and some of the daintiest and most ex.
pensive toilet sets contain thin little
fine comb, with as many sharp teeth as
Argus had eyes. The best are of ivory,
and cost from 81 to $1.75. The tor.
toise shell combs cannot be cut in such
fine teeth without breaking, so, neces
sarily, they are coarser and less desir-
able.
But there is one thing good to re-
member, the most complete toilet seta
have them.-New York World.

AN eloquent writer describes the game
of tiddeledy- yinks as follows: "The
game is played with tiddledies, winks,. a
wink pot, dingusses, duhicities, etc. Any
number can play. Each player takes a
dingus. The winks are divided equally,
and likewise the duhicities. Then you
take wink, and put it on the dingus,
dress tiddledy on the wink and make
it Jump into the wink-pot if you can. If
you do you are entitled to duflicity
and for every wink you jump iuto the
ding-pot from the duwink you count a
flictiddledy."

A BILL has been introduced into the
Minnesota legislature that should be
passed without debate or opposition.
It provides for paying the years taxes in
two instaIiments, the first on or before
April 1, the second on or before Oct 1.
This manner. of tax paying has been in
vogue in several states for many years,
and is so popular and helpful that the
tax payers of those states could not be
induced to return to the old way. Such
a measure would be a great relief to
Minnesota tax payers, and would injure
no man or interest, therefore it is difficult
to see why any legislator can oppose it.
