NEW YEAR "DoN'rso FOR MANKIND

~ - w thAR ''Dt,4s - TVh "ffA n i4* ~
Don't forget that this is leap year.
Don't swear off at all. What's the
use
Don't besmirch that new leaf when
you turn it over
Don't swear off till tomorrow Re-
member last year.
Don't forget that little ballad, ooh
What a Difference in the Morning y
Don't look on the wine when it is
red. It's easy enough to keep your
eyes shut
Don't dine at your club unless you
are resolved not to make any good
resolutions.
Don't imagine You own the town
just because you have slight mort
gage on a jug.
Don't think that because this is leap
year every woman in town has her cap
set for you.
Don't spend your substance in riotous
living. To-morow will dawn like a
Nemesis.
Don't tell your wife you are not
going to drink a drop for year. She
knows thing or two.
Don't forget that while good resolu-
tions are easily made, they are great
deal easier broken.
Don't swear at the waiter if he for
gets to bring your wine on ice. Re-
member that little bill Of yours which is
on ice.
Don't think that because you gave
your wife sheepskin on Christmas
you can pull the wool over her eyes on
New Years day.
Don't imagine that because odorless
whiskey cannot be detected on the
breath. the dark red stain in your
mouth will be any the less present in
the morning.

Nebraska at Chicago.


The matter of the state educational
exhibit ut the worlds fair was thor
oughly discussed at a recent meeting of
county and city supcrintendents, held
at the state house In Lincoln, and II the
plan decided upon is carried out Me-
braska will have no need Of being
ashamed of her display. The general
plan will be to divide the exhibits into
classes as follows:
State institutions, including the state
university, normal and industrial
schools and institutes for the blind,
| deaf and dumb and feeble minded.
Educational institutions, other than
public, comprising universities, col
leges, normal schools, academies, BUSH
ness colleges, kindergartens and pa
rochial schools.
Teachers institutes, showing methods
Of conducting, courses Of study, general
character, circulars and announce
ments.
Children's work in both city and
country schools
Buildings and apparatus, to be shown
by photographs Of school buildings,
both exterior and interior, with plans
and descriptions.
State office, comprising photographs
Of prominent educators of the state, re-
ports, circulars and literature.
The matter Of expense will be the
greatest difficulty to surmount. The
state commission has appropriated but
$1,000, with the understanding that this
amount is to be used for ~defraying the
expenses Of preliminary work. The
commission will recommend n further
appropriation, but 1t is the opinion OF
those interested in the matter that II
will be advisable TO undertake to raise
a fund outside. The Kansas plan of so
Letting penny subscriptions from school
children has been considered and may
be adonted.

1T appears that very satisfactory re-
suits have been reached in experiments
made with H.. C~aillette's apparatus for
producing q temperature of from ninety
degrees to one hundred and ten degrees
Fahrenheit below zero, by the expan-
sion OF carbonic acid. The apparatus
consists of two concentric vessels with
. small annnlar space between them, a
spiral coil being placed inside the inner
vessel, and this Is put in communication
with o closed vessel containing liquifed
carbonic acid gas. At its lower end the
coil iscornected with the annular space,
and at Its upper q stop-cOck Is fitted.
When used the inner vessel is filed with
alcohol, the stop-cock on the carboniC
acid vessel Is fully opened, and the cocl
on the spiral partly opened, when the
liquid passes slowly into the coil and
takes the form Of snow. From the col
II passes into the annular chamber, In
which are placed pieces of sponge soaked
in alcohol, which arrest all the acid thai

itself passes ont Of the apparatu,
through q bent tube. With about fiv.
and one-fourth pints of alcohol In thu
