Blowing the Feather.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

IUUtI pIIId
A new game for children is played
with feather. The party is arranged
in several groups of seven or eight
each, seated in ring and as close to-
gether as possible. For each group is a
feather. This is tossed in the air in the
center of the ring. 1t is the business Of
the players to keep the feather in the
air by blowing every time it comes near.
The effort is so ridiculous that the
children laugh. When they laugh they
cannot blow, and the feather is apt to
settle in the lap Of the merriest child.
ring. 1t is, of course, her interest to
make the other children laugh. As the
rings decrease they are consolidated.
and so the game continues until only
one person is left, who, of course, is the
winner

SCANDINAVIANS CALLED.
Their Papers Want Them in the
Fire and Police Departments.

Their Papers Want Them in the
Fire and Police Departments.
The Scandinavian newspapers of
Minneapolis are following the lead of
their. contemporaries in Chicago. They
are beginning to complain of the paucity
of Scandinavians in those positions
which are commonly supposed to be the
reward of political services. They com.
plain just now that the Scandinavans
have fewer representatives in the police
and fire departments than they are en-
titled to in proportion to their number,
as compared with other nationalities.
Folkebladet publishes this. as showing
the number of representatives of the
various natiOnalitieS in the fire depart
ment: Irish, SO; American, rs; Ger
man, "a; Scandinavian, IA; French, 10;
Scotch, 3. The paper says that this
shows discrimination against the Sean
dinavians. it says that the Danes, the
NOrwegians and Swedes number fully
10000 in Minneapolis, ard should rise
and assert themselves.

GOALS DROPPED IN OIL
Started a Blaze Which Destroyed
100000 Worth of Property.

BUFFALO, April 13.-The AS. Holmes
refinery, covering twelve acres of
ground on Seneca street. was destroyed
by fire this afternoon, together
with twenty freight cars and a
train of oil cars sidetracked near the
works. Thirty thousand barrels of oil
Stored in the works were also burned.
The fire was started by the engine
dropping Goals in some oil which was
running on top Of water in little
ditch. The wind blew the flames into
the works, and an explosion occurred.
Every few minutes explosions followed,
when ammonia drains and gasoline
tanks blew up. Thomas Tracy was
struck by a flying piece OF metal and
badly injured. Three firemen were
badly injured by one of the explosions.
The plant is owned by the A. S. Holmes
Refining company, and is valued at
100000. 1t will be total loss. At the
office 1t was stated that the loss is fully
covered by insurance.

Destructive Forest Fires in the
Mountains of Pennsylvania.
SOMERSET, Pa, April l3.-The heavy
rains have quenched disastrous forest
tires that have been raging in the mount
aims during the past week. In this coun-
ty the first estimates of loss place the
destruction done at minimum of &c.,
600, and the aggregate, including many
small losses that have not yet been re-
ported. will swell the losses TO more
than 100000. In Blair the burned area
is fully thirty-five square miles. Six
farm houses with their outbuildings in
MOrrison's Cove, tbirty-fiye head of
cattle and vast quantities of grain were
destroyed i'm that section alone. In
Somerset, Cambria, Fayette, Washing
ton and Westmoreland the losses are
widely scattered and the losses cannot
be given definitely.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.
What They Have Cost and Will
Cost.

W nat 1h6y nave SO3C anu Will
Cost.
Yesterday afternoon the board of ed
ucation committee on text books con-
sidered the matter Of making Minneap-
oils free text book city under the free
text book law recently passed by the
state legislature. The sentiment for
free text books is unanimous in the
board. The board, is however, ham,
pered by a shOrtueSS in funds. Its text
book committee now realizes what it
will cost to provide books for the twenty
thousand and odd children in the Min
neapolis schools. Supt. Jordan thinks
that the purchase of free text books
should be spread over two years. The
members Of the committee favor doing
the whole Job at once.
The Boston schools have been oper-
ted for seven years on the free text book
plan. The results are embodied in re-
cent report of that board. The average
cost per pupil of free text books in BOS-
ton for seven years has been as follows:
For each high school pupil, S3.3S; for
each grammar school pupil, SLIP; for
each primary school pupil, % cents.
The average cost per pupil for each of
the seven years has been only So cents.
During these seven years only % per
cent of the books have been reported as
lost or worn out, tritle over 3 per cent
year.
Taking the cost per pupil per year in
the Boston schools as basis, 1t is
figured that it will cost Minneapolis
$4,000 a year to supply free text books.
This sum will not, however, cover the
cost the first year. In Boston the cost
fho6 fret fbon
twice what it was thereafter. 1t is safe
to say that if Minneapolis adopt the
free text book plan this year $4,000
must be spent on books. The sum would
probably be nearer $4,000. This sum
can be cut down, however
The board is already spending from
s., 900 to $4,000 year on school supplies
that will come under the head of text
book expenses. Throwing out that
sum, the board must spend about $780,
900 this year if it equip the schools with
free text books all around. This ex-
penSe can be still further cut down if
the parents cooperate with the board.
The parents will be asked, by circular
letter distributed under direction of the
teachers, to turn over TO the board all
the books which are now in use by the
children in the schools. The board
thinks this no more than fair,
as the board will agree to
provide all the books hereafter. If
parents insist upon retaining as their
own all the books now in use, they will
derive no benefit from them. They can
get nothing for them, and their children
will not need them. If parents do this
the board will save large sum, for the
costliest books are those in use in the
higher grades, and, consequently, those
books will be found in the best state of
preservation. The committee report,
on the lines indicated here, will be
adopted without question, and the men,
bers of the board are confident that the
parents will respond TO the request.
