The practice of defacing natural seem
cry with great advertisements is not so
prevalent in the United States as it was
a generation ago, and public sentiment
is steadily growing stronger against it.
This practice has recently developed in
England to such an extent that lovers Of
nature recognize that some definite ac-
ton must be taken. The Thames val
ley, the most picturesque mountain spots
in Wales and the loveliest corners Of
Devonshire have been greatly injured by
huge advertisements. The well known
architect, Mr.. Waterhouse, has pro-
posed that if they cannot actually be
prohibited they should at least be di-
minished by the imposition of heavy
license tax.-Chicago Herald.

In the great momentum Of the women
movement, which gains new victims
every day, one is inclined to overlook
the fact that woman was power moral
ly, socially and intellectually in the if
teenth century as well as the nineteenth,
that the doors of the universities were
open to her not only to study but 70
teach within their sacred precincts. In
the University Of Salamanca she had a
place, and when Isabella of Spain de.
sired to acquire the Latin tongue it was
to woman tlnt she turned for tutor.
In Italy, even in the thirteenth century,
a noble Florcntino lady won the palm Of
oratory in a public contest in Florence
with learned doctors from all over the
world. New York Sun.

Some Of the best botanical works of
the past generation were issued under
the patronage of the Empress Josephine,
who was herself very fond of gardening.
A recent account says Of her:
Josephine's favorite employment-it
was more than diversion-was hort
culture. She was not in any sense a
scientist. She loved nature for natures
Sake, and her hothouses and gardens
were her long and lasting delight. In
those days such pleasures were costly,
and more than once after her divorce
complaints were made that she overdrew
her rather large annuity. Napoleon was
liberal himself, but the state interfered,
and on one occasion he was compelled to
delegate a minister to warn her Of the
consequences Of her horticultural ex-

An octogenarian general left letter
lately defending the propriety of his sui
eide. Said he:
When an individual life has run Its
cycle and become a waste of nature in
the body, overwhelming its mental and
physical qualities with weakness and
pain to an intolerable degree, it may
with all propriety be removed.
Such being the case with the life OF
the writer, his apology to the world is by
these terms made through his most be
loved and most intimate friends, who, he
trusts, will appreciate the relief to him
from ceaseless distress, which, in his opin-
ion, ought to be brought by the phyician
who is summoned with his drugs, surely
for that purpose, but not for cure

1t may create some surprise that we
regard the dance as the earliest form of
art, or even that we allow it any place
among the fine arts. To many It will
seem kind OF sacrilege TO combine In

extremes as a dancing savage and a
painting Of the last Judgment, and If
the connection must be made some
would choose 10 make 1t along other

publican with one of their kind; and as
changes OF this sort have been few in
number, the mugwumps have been far
from happy the most of the time since
the new administration took hold of the
government lastlMarch. To show the pc
culiar makeup of this class of office
seekers, will cite the case OF man
who was given very important posi-
ton in the consular Service-a consul
generalshIp, in fact Well, he came to
Washington very soon after the in
auguration and applied for this, par
ticular place. He offered no evidence to
show that the then incumbentwas not land
had not been good and credlta6le rep
resentative of the government, as, in
deed, there was no doubt and no claim.
After two months of persistent applica-
ton the president gave Mr.. Mugwump
the appointment so ardently and ear
neStly sought; but, instead of going off
like man, as good Democrat or Re-
publican would have done under the
circumstances, the new consul general
felt obliged to make all exhibition of the
nature OF the mugWump beast, which
he did in the shape of an interview in
which the spokesman of the day previous
declared himself strongly in favor of
placing the consular service under civil
service rnles. But this scheme did not
meet with hearty reception among the
mugWumpS, even, and will not until
they are all in office. For pure, unselfish
patriotism the mugWump is entitled to
the whole bakery.

A NEW PRINCIPAL.

Prof. A. ]. SMITH, of Sedalia, Mo-,
who i'll all probability will be elected
principal of the high school next Mon
day, comes highly recommended, and is
probably highly competent for the posi-
ton. But why the board of school in
spectors should have gone outside of
Minnesota, though it Is in keeping with
the custom in such matters. throughout
the state, eXcites some comment. 1t
seems singular that in all the army of
school teachers in st. Paul there is not
to be found by the board one who is
competent for the position. LIZ is not in
tended to intimate that any one offer
ing himself as candidate should have
been elected, but only that it is very
probable that there is just as good tim
Der to be found in the department as
can be brought from another state. 1t
is difficult for employers and employing
boards to recognize in those who have
held subordinate positions the qualities
for leading positions, no matter how
strongly they stand out. And 1t is very
discouraging to capable, ambitious ones
TO be thus overlooked.
1t has always been the practice in
Minnesota to import men from other
states to take charge of our institutions,
and about the only Institution in the
state which is under the superintend-
ency of a Minnesotlan is the St. Cloud
reformatory. This would, no doubt.
have an outsider for head, had not Nh
MYERS been the leading factor in bring
ing the Institution into existence. The
practice is an indication of want of
faith in the abilities of our own people
which is not at all commendable. Min
nesota should be full of as good tim
Der tor these positions as any other
state of its population. Other states
give their home talent an opportunity to
develop: why should not Minnesota?
OF course, it is not desirable that all
these positions should be filled at home
on political lines; but it would be wise
to fill them at home on tests of merit.
The practice of selecting men for
heads of city departments outside those
employed in them has something of a
demorallZing influence; for when those
connected with them discover that, 10
matter what their efficiency is, there is
no hope of promotion, they become
more or less discouraged.
These comments are not Intended as
an unfriendly blow at Prof. SMITH;
they are only aimed at policy which
many believe to be unwise. If there be
none of the st. Paul school teachers who
are competent for principal of the high
school, there should certainly be some
competent. However, it may be that
the inspectors have done the best thing
they could under the circumstances.
And. if Prof. SMITH is elected principal,
he should and will receive the hearty
support of the public in his every effort
for the good of the school.
