Young Mana -Of-His- Brains!
ScheitenheIm Knew Too Little,
and StOnemetz Knew Too Much,
and Both are Now in the Peda-
gOgueS' SheOl.

Last Saturday the Teachers Examination was
held in Kent. A young man named Curtis Schei-
tenhelm. residing in HsrtviIle. Stark County.
aspired to pedagogic honors. but entertained
pardonable distrust of his own mental requisites
for the ordeal lying between him and certif-
cate. Casting about for way out of his annoy
ing dilema. he bethought himself of one D. L.
Stonemetz. who also lives in Hartville, and who
was then teaching in Portage County Why not
have him attend the examination and imperson :
ate Scheitenhelm? The innocent Examiners
would never know the difference. and-what q
difference it would make to himi He laugh ed
at his own cunning. and Immediately acquaint ed
his learned friend with the scheme, who straight
way fell to laughing, too. and at once acquiesced
in the arrangement. What piece of engineer.
ing it was. and what an opportunity for an as.
tute book master to cover himself with strate-
getie laurels So the preparatory details were
all completed. and the Fates invoked. But to
err is human. even with the erudite. Superin-
tendent Merrill very promptly detected the SUBJ
stitution. and ruthlessly exposed the wonder full
piece of photographic necromancy whereby
Scheitenhelm was to stand for Stonem etz and the
result was decidedly at variance with the origin
al plans of the two scholastics. Stonemetz was
not only dismissed from further participation In
the examination. but had his own certificate re-
voked. and is now under the unpleasant shadow
| of fear that the majesty of the law may call
for yindication. Verify.

Those Royal Aztecs.

We have become SO accustomed to
think of the Aztecs as a magnificent race
of people who knew more about civiliza-
ton than even Boston does now that It
sounds like a wicked heresy in any one
to say the story is not true. 1t is like
shaking our belief in the story of Will
liam Tell or George Washington's little
Ratchet.
Yet traveller there is Newton H.
Chittenden, who declares all this story of
splendid Aztec civilization is fairy tale,
nothing else. He finds that the former
inhabitants Of Paragoona in southern
Utah and the region southwestward
were simply the ancestors Of the Moquis
and Zunis of the present day, lived in the
same way as those tribes do now and
were civilized to the same extent, no
more and no less. The prehistoric royal
palaces were only the many compart-
mented structures of stone and adobe in
which the southern Indians dwell today
The ruins show this The reason that
they are ruins is not that population of
many millions once inhabited the spot
where the remains now are, but emily
that such inhabitants as there were were
driven from time to time out of their
towns in hurry by surrounding savage
tribes. They staid not on the order Of
their going, but went in hurry under
those circumstances and left their dinner
sets behind them In the modern his.
tory Of the Moqui tribe alone there have
been seven such removals well authen.
ticated.
Mr.. Chittenden's proposition sounds
reasonable and in accordance with com
mon sense. Besides that, it is the easiest
and simplest explanation of the ruins in
Montezuma valley and elsewhere; there
fore it is probably the true one

Weather Bureau Forecasts

A gentleman residing in Seattle, and
who is well known in the business cir
cles Of that city as being on the lin
side.n has written a letter to a friend
in Fairhaven asking him to look out
for comfortable house, well located,
and to see at what price it can be pur-
chased, the letter stating that its writer
expects to arrive in this city shortly
and assist in the search. That resi-
dent of one city should determine to
change his location may have little sig
nificance other than a desire to live IN
a more healthful climate, or to sur
round himself with more charming
environment of natural beauty, but
that a business man, one well ac-
quainted with the probable point at
which the revival Of trade will be most
active when it reaches Puget sound,
should turn from Seattle towards Fair
haven, has a deeper significance than
appears to the casual observer, es-
pecially when taken in connection with
certain other movements, each of
which, taken alone, seems insignifi-
cant, but when joined together by the
golden thread of a concerted action and
well laid plan combine to awaken the
belief that something beyond the ordi-
nary is not far distant. Under the pc
culiar conditions existing in Fairhaven
the HERALD has deemed the cOnserva-
tive mode of statement the wisest
course to pursue, and yet he who reads
the signs of the times with an observ-
ing eye must see the turning Of the
commercial current towards Belling-
ham bay which will set in before long
with an overwhelming force, and sweep
the Bay cities towards the very front
Of prosperity and success.

French Courtesy.

mot being of that noble company
who come abroad to lie about their ma
tive country, have had no reason for
refusing to see things which are better
done in France than in America. And
one thing the French do better than we
is-rney behave themselves better in
public, writes Ida NJ. Tarbell in the
Boston Globe.
She finds there is among the poorest
laboring people of France a kindliness
and courtesy that gid their rough path
with sunshine and make foreigner
marvel. The French love children; they
like to see everybody about them sunny
and happy; therefore they take every
means to make everybody happy. In
the very shops the children who come
on errands are treated with tender po-
likeness. France must be the paradise of
little children.
The writer finds the French really
more interested in others welfare than
the people of our nation are. Once she
dropped coin between the Stats upon
the floor Of Paris omnibus. She could
not pick it up with her gloved hand east
ly. Seeing this, French working wom-
an sprang to the rescue instantly and
fished the money up with her ungloved
hand The common people make way
for one another, bow to one another and
treat one another constantly with all the
courtesy we are accustomed in this coun-
try to see only among the best bred peo-
pie in a parlor. One thing-handshak-
ing-is overdone in France. 1t is car
ried to the extent of being a nuisance.
But if we could engraft upon our com
mon, everyday manners this courtesy and
kindliness without the handshaking,
what delightful country ours would be-!
The pretty phrases of pohteness, defer
ence and good will which most people
save for social gatherings are on the lips
of the French people, even of the poor
est class. constantly. They have no
warmer hearts than Americans, but say
what YOU viii, the expression of our
friendlness and good wishes is what all
people want. It makes life better worth
living

The fish company is getting down to
a solid basis and is pushing steadily
ahead in the good work of active oper-
tons. There have been few Industries
started on Bellingham bay under such
promising auspices as this enterprise
which, if properly developed, Of itself
would build up a large and fiourishing
city. When it is remembered how
much profit is realized from this trade
on the Atlantic seaboard, and especially
when 1t is known that the fish tribu-
tary to Fairhaven is greater in variety
and quantity and finer i'm quality than
those tributary to any one city on the
Atlantic coast, some little idea may be
conceived of what the organization Of
the present company means for this
city, and yet in view Of the other large,
projects in hand, the fish industry just
now is looked upon as one Of the
smallest which occupies the public
mind. The residents of the city are
looking for great events to happen, in
which they will be more than agree
ably surprised when the break finally
takes place.

It appears that the Southern Pacific
road is beginning to feel the COMPETE
ton of the steamship lines running
into the principal California ports from
the south, in consequence Of which the
railroad has found it necessary to cut
its rates. Within a short time the
Southern Pacific will realize that there
are other competitors in the field with
which it must cope in the shape Of fast
steamers running from Bellingham bay
south and carrying freight from the
East. The transcontinental lines hav-
ing their terminus on the Bay will not
be content with their present posses
sions, but will reach out their hungry
arms in every direction possible in the
endeavor to increase their earnings.
The very purpose of these roads in
seeking such favorable water facilities
as are to be found at Fairhaven is that
they might supplement their railroad
traffic by lines Of steamers to othei
ports of the Pacific coast as well as tC
the Orient and commercial islands o.
the ocean. It is a mere question now
as to which road will first occupy the
field, the controversy as to which o
the Puget sound cities will be the fina
base of operations in this line having
been definitely settled in favor Of Fair
haven.

The most valuable American abroad
at this time is Colonel J. p Murphy
known in Germany as "Cornmeal Muir
ply" Colonel Cornmeal Murphy has
been in Europe for some time past en-
deavoring to familiarize the benighted
inhabitants of that continent with the
delicious articles Of food that may be
made from corn and cornmeal His GUS
tom is to arrange menu in which ev-
cry article shall be some preparation of
corn. He has the best cooks prepare the
dinner Every form of corn food, from
Italian polenta and roasted green corn
to cornstarch pudding, johnny cake and
hominy and cream, has its place at one
or another of these feasts. To the din.
ners are invited rich merchants and in
huential statesmen, again perhaps lead
ing bakers and farmers. One and all
proclaim themselves delighted with
American corn dishes. In European
cities the sale of cornmeal bread is in
creasing so rapidly that in some cases
the demand outruns the supply Colonel

Where Chinese Are Wanted.

For some time the company that is
building the railroad from the lower
Congo to Stanley pool, in the Congo
Free State, has been DESTROYS of securing
Chinese laborers to do the work The
Chinese government would not permit
them to go at first on account of the
frightful stories Of mortality among
white men there. But with the increase
in the number Of trading white men san.
itary regulations were enforced, mortal
ity among the whites of the Free State
diminished one-halt and at length the
Chinese were allowed by their govern
ment TO go and work on the railroad
One Chinaman can do as much work as
four of the native Africans, who were all
the company had to depend on at first,
and the work of opening up the Congo
country will progress more rapidly
In the Congo Free State are now over
1000 white people mostly Belgians but
there is a good representation Of other
European nations, with only about 80
Americans. The first batch OF Chinese
who went to the state as laborers
numbered $40 It remains to be seen
whether they can withstand the climate
as they give promise of doing. If so
there will be room in Africa for all the
Chinese that want work in foreign lands
for the next 20 years The civilization OF
the dark continent is the greatest con-
tract the twentieth century will have on
its hands, and the greatest means to that
end will be willing workers and plenty
of them. AS to the native Africans, it is
not hard to foretell their fate II white
men can live and thrive in Africa. they
are doomed. They will learn the white
mans vices rather than his virtues and
exterminate themselves.

thorough training to young women in
fruit, vegetable and flower culture. The
students must also learn bookkeeping,
chemistry, botany and something about
the laws Of matter. Another part Of the
instruction is the canning, preserving
and evaporating of fruits and the making
Of fruit juices. The girls must also at
tain perfection in making that jam with
out which Briton could not exist. Be
sides outdoor culture they must under
stand the entire care of greenhouses and
conservatories. At the end of the course
certificate of proficiency is given to
them. So excellent is the training that
applications for women as head garden
ers have several times been received at
