Fruit Occupying The Post Of Honor
The Idaho Mining Exhibit Beats Tho
World.
Chief J. w. Samuels, Of tho Horti.
cultural department. At the Worlds
Fair, keeps on his desk jar Of Idaho
peaches on ono lido and plate Of
Idaho apples on the other. This is,
indeed, . high compliment to this
state. for Mr.. Samuels chose the best
at the fair whom he made tho selec-
ton for bis desk. MI. Samuels il
from Kentucky, is . thorough horti-
culturist, and he more than others can
appreciate tho perfection of Idaho
fruits. From the very 6rst hs has
given tho exhibit much oot,ce and he's
praised it very highly. Tho peaches
in question are of tho Globe variety
and were grown by L. A. Porter of
Lewiston. Tho apples are Blue
Pearmain from V. D. Hannsh's
ranch in Washington county, and
there 10 no other state that .oan show
apples like these. The apples in tho
Idaho exhibit are keeping nicely.
while some of the Others have had to
take theirs out on account Of their
decayinR. Giving tho Idaho fruit the
post of ho..or on his desk 10 but in
keeping with Mr.. Samuels' former
statement that Idaho had the best ex.
hibit at the far.
Its generally admitted by visitors
that Idaho has the best mining exhibi.
at the Worlds Fair among the states.
Utah and Montana are willing to oon-
cede this, but Colorado, that has no
better than the others, rather disputes
the claim.
July 8, tho anniversary Of the
states admission into tho Unioo, will
be Idaho day.
On an average fully 10000 people
visit the Idaho State building daily.
This is many times the number that
enter some Of the neighbor,ng build
ings, for one can see people pass right
by the others to come to Idaho. 1t is
not unusual at some parts of tbs day
to find tho hall IN tho Idaho building,
which is ten feet wide, 90 crowded
with visitors that one has 10 push to
get through.
Truly the exposition is . city Of
magnificent distances, and the man
agement cannot put into execution
any too soon the contemplated order
for more settees and commence the
donkey service of locomotion between
the buildings.
Mothers. bring your boys and girls
and let them see the fair, and ii they
or you get tired, just take them to the
ohild,en's building, receive q baggage
check for them, and 20 on your way
rejoicing. On your return you will
find they have been kindly treated
and tenderlv cared for, and ten to one

To those who hold Photographic
passes, and who sometimes imbibe q
little too freely, take warning from the
following: One in that condition was
seen by tho guards apparently in
great physical and mental agony. Or
inquiry if they might assist him, he
looked At them with half closed eyes
shook his tangled locks and said: ''lt's
all right; want to 70 into the fair,
and l am just trying to shape myself

U. S. soldiers, sailors, and their heirs,
take steps to mako application at
once. ii they have not already done
so, in order to secure the benefit of

A surat school.


In the biography of Behramil NJ.
Malabari, noted worker in the social
reforms OF India, we find a descrip-
tion OF native school at Surat. 1t
Is held in a commodious little shop
the floor OF which is strewn with
street dust. On an elevated square
sQuats the master, and on the floor
squat his flock, Hindu and Parsi.
The foe for instruction is only hand
full OF grain, few flowers, or some
fruit now and then. There are no
table nor benches, nor states nor pen
ellis, nor books nor maps.
Each pupil has wooden board,
patti, which serves him for slate, and
a pointed stick, lekhana, which he
uses as pencil. With rag he Sits
dust over the board, and on that he
traces figures, letters, petitions, and
so forth.
The boards are submitted every
noon to the master, who holds a rod
in his hand, with one end pointed.
CHANGING over the dust work, he gives
a grunt Of approval, if pleased. and
strikes the board with the pointed
end OF his stick, whereupon the fig.
ures of dust disappear IT. unlock
lily, the task has been badly done, the
butt end OF the rod makes the ac-
Quaintance of the pupils back.
ALI the work of the school is done
on the yersifled plan. The different
processes - addition, satisfaction,
multiplication and divislon--are
drawled out in verse. The process is
powerful aid to the memory. In
dealing with the heaviest and most
intricate figures, the native account
ant merely sings a verse, and there
the result Is, ready to his hand.
The alphabet is learned in the same
way. Every letter has nickname
and familiar versiled description.
The methods of punishment are
characteristic, the sharp and supple
cane, the thong, the pebble under the
knee, the stone across the shoulders
the twisting of the nose, the shaking
by the neck or by knot made with
the TUT Of hair In the centre of the
delinluent's forehead
Whenever the master wishes to adj
minister q flogging; he orders the class
to pray voclferously in order to drown
the victims cries. His favorite way
of dealing With the refractory girls of
the school is to seizathe unfortunate
subjectof his dlspleaslfre by her hair
and violently whisk her about in the
air as II she were lifelcss marion
etc; while the room resounds with
invocations to Ahuramazda recited
by her school-fellowsL

New York is the richest municipal
government with one exception in the
world. Paris alone surpasses it in the
amount of its revenues and in their pur-
chasing power. London has a divided
authority and double system OF gov
eminent. Berlin and Vienna and Chi.
cago and all other cities belong in
another class. The taxpayers of New
York Cts are called on every year to
pay larger amount Of money than was
needed for the whole expenses of the
United States before the war. and in
the past thirty years they have paid an
amount equal to the net public debt of
the United States to-day.

Transcontinental travellers will braot

Transcontinental travellers will breathe
more freely, thinks the New York Tri.
bune, because of the action Of one
of the Pacific railroads in placino
armed sentinels and detectives along its
Pacific Coast Division for the purpose
OF preventing train robberies. The
guards patrol the tracks, keep sharp
lookout for suspicious characters, and
ore ordered In every way to protect the
company's property and the rassengers
when it carries. The company's deter
minatlon to put stop to lawlessness
aud to transport persons and property in
safety is praiseworthy, for experience
has shown that the ordinary law officers
in those sparsely settled regions are un.
able to do this. The frequency and
boldness Of train robberies in the West
call for stringent repressive measures.

"Something to take the place OF
fractional currency for the remittance of
small sums" says Postmaster General
Wanamaker, ''is very desirable for the
convenience of the people and to stop
the influx into cities Of large quantities

discount, thus creating market for
counterfeiters and for stolen stamps. /
urge the considerat ion OF the issue of a
money postal card Of denominations Of
ten cent?, twenty-five cents, fifty cents
and 81 and of the form of the present
small card and exactly similar to the or
binary postal card on the address side,
and on the reverse side an order on the
postmaster Of the city Of address for
fixed aum payable on the signature Of
the rayee named in the address. The
cards could be bought at the postoffice
In bulk and the trouble incident to seek.
Ing money orders would be saved to
large extent. For odd sums postage

Would not initiate against its safety.

In a German Workshop.

We had to be at work at o'clock in
the morning and to keep on till o'clock
at night. Even ON Sundays we worked
from o'clock to dinner time. Some
would keep on till it was dark on Sun
day evening and content themselves with
knocking off early, as they called it. And
such work!
Everybody would work as if the house
were on fire. 1t was all piecework. The
man who stood next myself had made
veneered chests of drawers for 80 years,
and never had made anything else. He
would turn out two veneered chests of
drawers in a week, and the work was
faultless. These chests would, l am
sure, sell readily in Brisbane for from
e12 to e15 each. He earned about 8
Prussian thalers per week. On the other
side of me stood a man who made Ger
man secretaries. There were nine or ten
men in the shop. The master was work
ing too. He seemed just as poor as the
men.
Whenever work was finished, some
furniture dealer would come round and
buy it. The men seemed all more or less
askew in their bodies with overwork. If
ever they had an ambition in their lives,
it was to instill proper sense of respect
into the two apprentices adventures
of Danish Emigrant."
