dent of the Missouri State w. C. T. u.
and a woman of national reputation.
she gave a lecture at Temperance
Hall under the auspices of the local Pro-
oition Club, and her violent and SEN
5ional utterances against the Union
'".diers have been the source of indig-
nant comment here all day. Her
speech was a bitter TRADE against the
form of government, especially in it's
eatment of the liquor question. She
affirmed that the motive of the
civil war and its results was only ex-
pediency. The civil war was not the
result of the damnable crime of slay-
cry, but it followed the firing on Fort
Sumter. This utterance was greatly an
plauded, and has been Indignantly com
mented on all sides.

suicide of Victor Jegerstrom, chief

of his brother. They left home

brothers was known. Their affairs were

A Story from Paris.

/ was residing in Paris as representa-
tive of London firm. An English girl,
who accompanied my wife to the French
capital as upper servant, was married
soon after our arrival there to young
French artisan, who almost immediate
ly disappeared. He had been knocked
down by a runaway team and wounded
in the head. He was conveyed to hos
pital, and when he recovered his past
life was blank to him. He could not
even remember his name. He drifted
about, living upon charity, until strong
enough to work, when he secured en-
ployment, and by industry and economy
acquired a snug little sum of money.
One day his wife met him and threw
herself into his arms. He did not re-
member her, but seemed delighted to
meet one who knew him and tell him of
his past life. He came home with her,
and both my wife and myself identified
him. He did not yet realize his rela-
tionship to the young woman, but asked
if she was not his sister. thought the
young wife's heart would break. be
heved the fellow was shamming and
spoke to him pretty sharply. He then
told his story and referred me to the
hospital physician, who certified to its
truth. He was perfectly sane, but could
not recall a single instance in his life
prior to the time he was run down in
the streets. He accepted his wife, re-
sumed his name and they are very
happy together, but the first twenty-five
years of his life are still blank to him.

Fishing for Snonres.

The British consul in his report on the
trade Of Tripoli remarks that the sponge
fishery on that coast is entirely in the
hands of Greeks, and is carried on by
means of numerous small craft, employ
ing about 200 men among them. The
fishing takes place in the summer months
only and is effected by machine boats
provided with proper diving apparatus,
or by trawlers and harpoon boats. The
diving machines, as the divers have time
to select and cut them, naturally secure
the best sponges, but the trawl nets and
harpoon boats, which can only fish in
comparatively shallow waters, to great
er or less extent damage the sponges by
tearing them from the bottom.
The best sponges are found to the
westward of Tripoli, the quality becom-
ing inferior toward the east. The div
ing is dangerous, owing to the presence
Of sharks, and other accidents to be met
with, such as remaining too long under
the water or diving beyond the proper
limits, which often exhausts the divers
and proves fatal to them. = English

to torn frocks, disheveled locks and an

goes we would most fatty say no, quite
the reverse. The greatest tomboy we
ever knew turned out to be the most
demure creature at twenty that we could
imagine.
She took to fancy work and hospital
visiting with a vigor that seemed must
be meant to atone for all those years

the unhappy bit of patchwork that never

TT APPEALS TO THE NATION

The national public school celebration
Of Columbus Day has gained ground
steadily since the first proposal for such
an observance of Americas fourth cen
tennial was made public. 1t is not hard
to discover the forces which have given
to this movement the unusual publicity
it has attained. 1t was apparent from
the first that it had in it the elements of
great success.
1t aimed 10 dignity the one character
istic American institution and bring
home to the thought of every citizen
what this northern continent owes to
free education.
Although the suggestion was first
made over year ago, yet no steps were
taken to organize a national movement
until last February. This initial effort
resulted in the appointment of an execu-
tive committee by the American super
intendents of education at their meeting
in Brooklyn
Several more weeks elapsed, and the
first official message announcing an or
ganization of forces for the national Co
lumbar public school celebration of
Oct. 81 was not published until March
81. Today the purpose, aim and scope of
the movement is known throughout
America.
The practicability of the enterprise re-
ceived almost instant recognition from
thousands of friends of free education.
They saw at once that it had solid
meaning and true purpose. 1t would
impress upon $4,000, 900 youthful minds
the benefits of free and universal educa-
ton, and would give before the people
merited prominence to the institution
in which is the hope of the future.

The bluejay is the most persistent
practical joker in the feathered king
dom. He will conceal himself in a
clump of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather,
and when they are enjoying themselves
in their own fashion will suddenly
brighten them almost to death by
screaming out like hawk. OF course
they scatter in every direction, and when
they do so the mischievous rascal gives
vent to a cackle that sounds very much
like laugh. If he confined his pranks
to such jokes as this, however, he would
not be such a bad neighbor to birds
smaller than himself, but when he
amuses himself by breaking the eggs in
their nests and tearing the young to
pieces with his bill he becomes a pesti-
lent nuisance, and they often combine
their forces to drive him out of the
neighborhood. They do not always
succeed, for he is as full of fight as of
mischief, but severe conflict teaches
him that they, too, have their rights, and
this induces him to mend his Manners

LEGISLATIVE NOMINEES
LONG OR SHORT CAMPAIGNS

There is growing conviction in the
United States that we have too much
politics, and since the recent campaign
in Great Britain many leaders of
thought have declared that our cam
paigns should be greatly shortened.
Just think of It'll The Salisbury parlia-
ment was dissolved on June %. The
elections were ordered for the first three
weeks of July. and the writs directed
the assemblage of the new parliament
on Aug. a.
In less than six weeks the government
of the United Kingdom is completely
changed. The latest expressed will of
the voters takes effect in change Of
policy in less time than is employed in
this country in selecting the delegates
to national convention. The campaign
now in progress and already heated
must grow hotter and hotter with the
perfect day-four months of party war
fare. Then, if new man is elected,
seventeen more weeks must pass before
he takes the helm, and ordinarily con-
gress does not even convene till thirteen
months after it is chosen. The inevita-
bic result is that elections in this coun-
try degenerate into mere questions OF
money and endurance.
But there is another side to the ques-
ton and very important one. "Eter
nal vigilance is the price of liberty" and
it is quite possible that if Americans die
not maintain the habit of discussing
political questions frequently Their,
would be evil results. Most assuredly
frequent elections make men more toll
Grant of political differences. Here, FOL
instance, are two men who vote togethei
in the spring elections On village o.
township and on opposite sides at stat
and national elections. They canno
afford to quarrel seriously.
The educational effect is also impor
tant. Go through the rural regions o
any "close state" and you will observ,
that every scholarly young man is Gale,
into action early. The people feel tina
they have a sort of right to the service
Of the educated. The young student
the young teacher and the young lawye
are expected as "a matter Of course I,
take the stump" The effect is excel
lent So. take it all in all. there is n,
need to hurry in making a change.
