ity OF Wyoming To preserve order or to
put an end to the strife between the cattle
men and the rusters is discreditable to its
state government. Washington, when a
territory, met serious riot successfully
with her militia and has suppressed in
dustrial disturbances since it became a
state without appeal to the federal gov
eminent. It is poor state government
that cannot maintain the peace without
federal Intervention. The New York Sun
says of Wyoming: off the governor IS

militia are disobedient, let the legislature
be convened in special session, that 1t

cents. Boston: Boston School supply Com
pany.
Boston seems determined to keep her place in
the van of educational progress. We have in
this volume, "Modern Industries and Com
nerce," the final number of the Information
Readers This series initiated a radical depart
ure from the old routine track of alleged elocu-
ton work, or rather of the forced mounting of
extracts from authors too advanced for the i'm
mature minds of school children to understand.
careful perusal of Reader No. shows that IL
possesses the same simplicity OF style, the same
accuracy in statement and the same adaptabiilty
to classroom use that have rendered the preced-
ing numbers of the series so popular.
The extremely pleasing and happy manner in
which the young learner is led to see the need
and utility OF many of the great factors OF mod
ern civilization, as, for example, vast rail-
road system or the United States mail service,
imparts an unusual charm to these books.
Were they in the hands of all our grammar
school pupils, teachers would no longer be
obliged TO rack their brains to find ways and
means of rendering the daily reading lesson at
tractive.
There is a charm in the very title OF this
ries. 1t is the child's open sesame TO a world Of
pleasant knowledge: it suggests to the expert
enced teacher reading classes interested with
out constrant in the subject matter OF their les
sons, and it therefore implies prompt apprecia-
ton of the correct oral expression Of the senti-
ments conveyed in those lessons
The publishers deserve the thanks OF the edu-
tional public for the energy and enterprise
shown in so promptly meeting the demand for a
series OF reading books much in advance Of
those now in market

This is very interesting and useful sum-
mary of all the inventions and discoveries of
practical value made during the past year. 1t
goes into every field of knowledge and gives a
brief description OF the advances made in II.
The descriptions are simple enough to be IN
derstood by any person having an elementary
knowledge OF the subject treated OF. In the
chapter on medicine is the following on the
treatment OF smallpox:
FITTING by smallpox has been entirely pre-
vented by Dr. Lewintaner, of Constantnople, by
antise ptlc treatment a. follows: The entire
head and face, excepting the eyes, are covered
with plaster consisting OF three parts OF car
bolic acid aud hity parts each of olive oil and
starch. The body is covered with a mixture of
three parts OF salicylic acid thirty OF starch and
seventy OF olive oil. The internal treatment
consists Ia giving Quinine IN acid solution.

The Clearwater Lime Belt,

Mr.. j. T. Brockman, late arriva
with his family from Spokane, has loca
ted a mammoth lime stone ledge acros,
Clearwater, about Is miles from here
and proposes to supply the Prairie with
the finest lime from that point. The
existence of the ledge has been known
for many years and many tests have
been made of the stone showing it to be
of fine quality for building purposes,
but hitherto the demand for lime has
been so limited that there has been no
inducement to burn any. The brick
buildings to be erected at Grangeyille
in the spring have created demand for
cheaper lime than the imported article,
which sells at $3.50 per barrel, and Mr..
Brockman proposes to put the home
product on the home market at SO. so or
S4.0O per barrel. The location OF the
ledge is very convenient, having album
dant timber. slate and water and all 9th.
er appurtenances close at hand necessa.
ry for large lire kiln. With CHEAP
lime and cheap brick Grangeville will
soon be filled up with brick business
houses.
