TO PROTECT JACK TAR.

European Siipmastcrs to Adopt the nIIdeo
System for Paying Sailors.
The British board of trade is trying
to extend what is known as the Nidre
system to such continental ports as
liavrc, Dunkirk, Rouen. Antwerp, Rot
terdam, Amsterdam and HAMBURG. In
order to prevent the systematic rob
berry of sailors, who often lose the
wages for whole voyages in n single
night on shore. Under this Nudge sys-
tenn, says the New York Post, as soon
rs n ship arrives in port, n board Of
trade officer, specially appointed for
the purpose, boards her, and, after as
pertaining how many hands wish ito
proceed home without delay, obtains
from the master particulars as to tho
wages due and the deductions charge
able to tho men. Each seaman, after
vouching for the accuracy Of his nc
count by signing it, receives q
ticket for his destination with a small
advance to dcfray minor travelling OK
penscs, and leaves for home as soon
ms his services can be dispensed with
on. board, ship. The balance of wares
due to him is forwarded by the board
OF trade officer, and thus his earnings
have n chance of reaching his family
instead OF filling the pockets Of the
crimps. The superintendent of MGR
camille marine ut Gravescnd has been
sent to Dunltirls to make the necessary
arrangement for the introduction OF
the system, and If successful there
II will be extended TO other ports. It
IS estimated that between 1899 and
500 British sailors were robbed of
.v7o hundred thousand pounds in Dun
.iris alone. za.

Small Things Which Arc Readily Detected

We never sec everything TINT is

mia he fell in with n gambler. who told
him that always after the first few
rounds of the game he knew some of

even when it was pointed out to him.

Daughter of a Ranchman Taking
in the Sights OF Omaha.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 5.-Miss Emma
Wood, who claims to be the daughter of
wealthy Colorado ranchman, was ar
rested in company with young man,
who said his name was Frank Patton,
and both were dressed in masculine at
tire. The story of the couple is that
they both reside short distance from
Denver, and for the last two years have
kept company. When Patton, who is
employed on neighboring ranch,
was sent to South Omaha in charge
of consignment of cattle, they
thought it an excellent opportun-
ity to give the old folks sur
prise party by making the journey an
elopement as well. The girl declares
that they were married by Lutheran
Clergyman before they left Denver.
They arrived in Omaha Thursday night
and devoted the next day to seeing the
sights. The girl had often worn her
brothers. clothes out on the ranch dur
ing roundup and helped the men
drive up the cattle. and last night she
declared Der intention of putting on
one of her husbands suits and going
out to see the town by gaslight. She
assumed the trousers and they started
down Dodge street and visited one or
two of the swell resorts. after which the
woman concluded she had enough, and
they started to their hotel. but were ar
rested. They were released today with
out being fined.

THE ALASKAN FISHERIES.
Commissioner Mcdonald Wants to
Preserve the Salmon.

Commissioner Mcdonald Wants to
Preserve the Salmon.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-United States
Fish Commissioner Mcdonald does not
look for any legislation by the present
congress for the preservation of the
salmon fisheries of Alaska, but it is his
purpose to take determined effort to
secure legislation on this subject by the
next congress. Notwithstanding the
elaborate reports that have been SUBJ
mitted from time TO time, the commits
soner says that it has been impossible
to impress upon legislators the imDOr-
tance of the industry i'll the United
States and the enormous pecunlary in
terests involved. Commissioner McDOn-
aid says that if the salmon of Alaska
were properly cared for the in
duStry wOulu, in short time,
be more valuable to us than the sealing
interests of the Behring sea, over which
so much discussion has been had. I'm
less some regulations are soon provided
by congress, he fears the lndlScrlmlnate
catch of salmon will be so great that the
supply will be exhausted. The commits.
sion says that in order to maintain the
supply a considerable proportion of the
run into rivers must be permitted to
pass I'D and accomplish natural repro
duction in the lakes and tributary
streams which afford feeding grounds
for young salmon during the period of
their SolOurn in fresh waters, or tnat
artificial propagation of the young and
tleIr distribution to the headwaterS of
the streams shall be prosecuted on
scale adequate to compensate for the
interference with and the curtailment
of natural reproduction by the opera
ton of the fisheries.

Books as Ornaments.

Those individuals who do not appre-
ciate the contents of volumes should not
forget that plenty of well-bound lite.a-
ture gives to the home certain stamp
of cultivation that cannot be attained in
any other way. They make up an ap-
pearance of intellectual refinement for
the family. They also serve as genteel
and wise ct cetera for brackets. tables,
cabinets, corner shelves, and inches and
Lodges. They are delightful i'll colOrlng
and pretty i'll shape.
Cases and shelves filled with hand
some volumes are most inviting acceS-
SORES of a well-furnisheG house, for
they make every visitor feel that no
body can feel lonely where there is
plenty of such silently eloquent COM
pany.
In useful sense books are faithful
friends, variously entertaining and in
structive. They are amusing and awe
inspiring. They are serious and gay.
They are delightful.
BY all means have plenty of good,
h ,ndsomely bound books in tie house
for ornamental purposes and for the use
of individuals disposed to read them.

WOMAN RIDING MASTER.
Mrs. Hayes Is Her Name, and She
Dresses Like q Man.

Dresses Like a Man.
London has woman riding master, a
Mrs. Hayes, who insists, notwithstand-
ing the traditional supremacy of the
English woman's horsemanship, that
you rarely see an English woman sitting
gracefully and firmly in her saddle, and
that French women are really the more
graceful equeStriennes. Mrs. Hayes
teaches in a modest boyiSh costume
without a skirt, and takes five-fOOt
gate on her lively charger without hold
ing her reinS at all.
Her theory is that riding master
cannot teach woman to sit we'll on a
side-saddle because he doesn't know
how himself except theoretically. She
is taught to rely first and foremostson
her reinS, when it is not her relnS at all
that saves her when her shorse shies or
falls. The reinS should never be given
to the pupil at all until she is perfectly
secure in her seat and has learned that
it is the grip on the crutches of the sad
die by the muscles of the knees and
ankles that gives her the firm seat.
The reins are simply to guide the
horse. The St!rrupS should be
shortened until the knee pres sses
firmly against the leaping head. 1t is
to teach the position of the legs that
Mrs. Hayes rides in boys dress. and
when woman learns to use these mem
bers properly, Mrs. Hayes claims that
her seat is more natural, more graceful
and more secure than f she rode aStride.
This woman riding master is daring
rider. accepting most daring mounts
with fearlessness. and stopping short of
nothing, not even zebra, in her exper-
imentS.
On one occasion when they brought
her wild zebra from menagerie in
cage, she tanned the creature in two les
SONS so that he was sufficiently subdued
to stand with her on his back while the
pair we're photographed.

peculiar, and demand the closest COLI
sideration. Calculated, as it is, to draw
pupils from large sections of Minnesota
and Dakota, the town in which it is To-
Gated is totally unable to accommodate
the pupils who must have board ana
lodging. In the past this fact has worked
in direct opposition to the best interests
of the school.
Books, apparatus, library. museum
furnishings and general school fittings
are badly needed at Moorhead, but the
one requirement that overShadowS all
others is ladies' dOrmitory or home OF
at least thirty sleeping rooms ana ten
other rooms for general purposes. The
building could be located Oh the pres
ent grounds, comprising six acres.
Moorhead normal school, as earnestly
pointed out to the committee by PreSi-
dent Lord, Resident Director kurtz and
Editor Lanphear, c1n never hope TO
properly carry out its mission until such
home is provided by the state. Ihe
upper story of the building is still un-
furnished, but in years to come Will
make splendid quarters for gym
naSium and Workroom. An approprla-
ton of $4,000 is asked of the Legislature
to build and furnish a home, aud it is
no eXaggeration to say that If the
money is not forthcoming the people OF
Moorhead will be wofully disappointed.
In reference to attacks Oil the uSeful-
ness as compared with the cost OF nor
NAL schools their defenders express
little concern. They maintain that the
results achieved through this educa-
toIal channel have been stupendouS;
that the influence of normal graduates
on schools and communities are flatter-
ing in the highest degree; that system
atiZed instruction has taken the place OF
.haphazard teaching in district schools;
that in no section of the country is the
widespreading wave of normal meth
DDS and practice unfet: that they are
only in the early stages of their ultimate
accomplishments; that the public favor
and almost unanimous verdict of think
ing people has firmly established them
in the affections of all citiZens( of the
state; and finally THAT the cost, COM
pared with the good done, is not large,
and will grow less with every passing
year. 1t is held that as the state erected
the buildings it is only just and proper
it should maintain them in a manner to
secure the greatest possible benefit to
the masses of the people. That this
cannOt,be done If their capacityis short
ened in any way seems a plain business
proposition which should be we'll and

this session. says the st. Peter Herald
in an editorial Ill the last issue of the
paper. The reasons for this statement,
Col. Johnson states, were furnished by
a prominent member Of the legislature
who knows whereof he speaks. The
editorial follows:
The late senatorial struggle has de-
veloped many new features in politics,
and has also developed certain bits of
information which would perhaps in no
other way have come to public light.
Certain matters which were 10 doubt
of censure, political antipathieS, now
found their way to the ears
of the people which are startling,
if true, as they no doubt
are. A prominent member of the pres
ent legislature told a Herald man one
day last week that Cordie Severance,
who happened to have charge of the
Davis campaign, openly declared that
the present legislature would secure no
legislation which would in any way
affect the railroad and warehouse peo-
pie, and which would in any measure be
beneficial to the farmers of the state.
lie assigned as the reason the fact that
the firm of Davis, Kellogg IL Severance
have been employed to prevent
the enactment of such legisla-
tion. This may OF may not be
true, but the information comes
through Republican channels and ought
to have credence. 1t is unfortunate, If
true, that the senior United States SEN
ator, who is chosed to represent the
people, should lend his legal aid in see
ing that the people are not given what
If fhiS condition iS n
fact, it is unfortunate that Mr.. Davis
should have been elected. Time will
demonstrate the facts in the case, and, if
they are proven as our informant gives
them. then Mr.. Davis cannot be the sub
ject of cenSure too severe. At any rate
this is. in certain measure, Repub-
lcan fight. but this is part of our tu-
neral, and we sincerely hope that our
fears are without foundation.

Be Good-Tempered at Home.

No trait of character is more valuable
in wife than the possession of sweet
temper. Family life can never be made
happy wiChOut it. Let man 90 home
at night, wearied and worn out by the
tolls of the day, and how soothing is a
word dictated by sweet disposition. 1t
is sunshine falling on his heart. He is
happy, and the cares of life are forgot
ten.
A sweet temper has soothing influ-
ence over the minds of the whole family.
When it is found in the wife and mother
you find kindness and love predominant
ing over the natural feelings of bad
heart. Smiles, kind words and looks
characterize the children, and peace
and love have their dwelling there.
Study, then, to acquire and retain
sweet disposition.
