4 GOOD SUGGESTION.

What an excellent thing 1t would be II
our fins public schools could have fine
groves Of trses on the rear part Of the
blocks on which they are built. Such an
improvement would Be Of the greatest
good 10 both teachers and scholars.
We have . good deal Of very hot
weather outside Of the midsummer holi-
days. Children are peculiarly suscepti-
bic to the heat, and no summer passes
without their suffering from its debilitat.
ing effects. II they had q delicious, cool,
green, shady wood to retire to. their
young bodies and spirits, and conse-
quently their studies would gain much.
Many excellent qualities Of head and
hsart 20 to make up the properly equip
cd teacher. Not least among these is an
eQuable temper. In our public schools,
where the masters have not the power to
enforce their wishes and authority that
they have in private schools, the pupils
have tendency to become very trying,
and this state Of things calls for unusual
skin and self control on the part Of the
teachers.
Nothing assists in the establishment of
cordial feeling between teacher and pupil
Ike Tree intercourse under pleasant con-
ditious; and nothing would be greater
pleasure and benefit to the teacher than
the improvement.
Tie improvement would also be Of ad-
vantage to the city, not only from a hy-
sienic point Of view. but considered, also,
from an artistic and advertising stand
point. We have city which can easily
be made the most beautiful il ..ae state,
and 1t is difficult to think of any one
thing which would go 90 far towards its
adornmsnt and increased desirability as
. place Of residence, as handsome school
groves. Parents In search Of location
would be influenced not little by such
delightful surroundings for their children.
We are disposed, IS a people, to pay
too much attention to the merely useful,
to the exclusion Of the beautiful and
wholesome. But the best balanced and
happiest mind and disposition is formed
under both influences. Considered In
this light, the suggestion is merely an
application Of the wisdom Of them Of old
times q expressed in the saying mems
scna in eorpose sano, which state they
Justly considered the highest earthly
good.
Public spirited citizens have donated
the ground on which the schools now
stand. The rear halves OF both blocks
are still unoccupied and could probably
be bought for moderate sum. The city
would, doubtless. vacate the alleys, and
thus our schools could be made the most
healthful and beautiful In the state. aud
the happiness Of both scholars and teach
ers would DO promoted. Think Of it,
gentlemen Of the school board.

A celebrated writer once said that the
sum and substance Of what was accomp-
lished by all the centuries of struggle In
England against feudalism was to get
twelve men into jury box. There are
many now who believe that this result
does not tend to subserve the ends Of JUS
tice and the expression is frequently heard
that the decision in good case should
be trusted to judge and in poor case to
. jury. A member of a jury at the late
session Of court complained vigorously Of
his eleven companions because they
would not agree with him, and o case
that cost considerable money to bring into
court was unsettled because of their stub
bornness. The story Of the fellow who
was acquitted Of stealing hog. although
his guilt was clearly proven. because
every member OF the jury received piece
OF the pork, had counterpart in this
county short time ago. An Ahtanum
farmer was arrested for obstructing the
road. There was no question OF the OBJ
struction. II was an existing fact that
could be verified by anybody, but the
iurors found him mot guilty." The rea-
son was that most of them we're liable to
prosecution on similar charge and they
had 10 stand together.

Edward Atkinson. sin his article in the
in the May Forum, undertakes to estab-
lish three very important conclusions /:
first, that the statistics OF land-mortgages
show prosperity and not disaster; second,
that there Is no tendency toward the de-
velopment OF andlord-ard-tenant class in
the United States; but, on the contrary,
that land-ownership tends strongly to
ward small individual holdings; and
third, that the farmers are coming to hold
the political power in the United States,
snd that there is no need to fear the con-
sequences, because Of their conservative
character and general prosperity. Mr..
Atkinson brings out the startling fact,
that more than twenty-one per cent. OF
the mortgage Indebtedness in the United
States is on real estate in and adjacent to
New York city.

looking after a few minor details, the
transformation Is complete. As the
county has absolutely lost block No 90,

the suggested alterations win appeal

advocates Of a monument Of brick and

of Yakima county.

IN the woops.

Written for THE HssaLp.
I love the shsdowy woods.
For us there that sivaysfnd,
Whatever the cause Of my trouble il,
Peace for my fevered mind.
When the heart is sad and restless.
And the spirit beyond control,
And the talk Of friends intensihes
Tn impatienee OF the soul.
There Is much OF peace and 10y;
There sorrow is sung to sleep:
There mature spesketh to nature.
Deep ealleth unto deep"
The night winds rest on the cedar's breast.
They culver TO the caress.
And the rustling murmur OF their Joy
Thrills us with happiness
But anon there comes a stronger note,
Through the columned arches whirled,
Like natures moan DER joys long aed.
Or the sigh OF a weary world.
And the burdens of life feel lighter
In that deep, grand. solemn dirge,
TIL the troubled, restless spirit
Has nothing left to urge.
As the calm sank over Galillee,
Our turbulent sorrows cease;
And the woods Eolian song is changed,
Till the leaves whisper OF peace.
They patter Of peace and Joy, .
In cadence so low and sweet,
One seems to hear, through the leafy screen
The rhythm Of Dryad feet.

SLIM SALARIES.
Tho Kind of Pay Upon Which Some Meth
odIst Prenchera Must Live.

odlst Preachers Must Live.
Methodist preachers are proverbially
an i'll paid lot, and they always feel
that the phrase las poor as church
mouse" applies with peculiar fitness to
them. 1t is one of the denominations
frequent assertions, however, that it's
wor.i is largely among the poor people,
who cannot afford to give their pas
tors large salaries. In the old days
when living was cheap the salaries
were really not SO small in proportion
to the living expenses as they are
now. Then Methodist parson with
salary OF four hundred dollars could, if
he had country passionate, live COM
fortably, keep a horse, send his nine or
ten children to school and manage to
lay by penny for a rainy day. There
arc plenty of the ''old stagers'' left
among the Methodist preachers who
went through those times, and who
are now living frugally on the amount
which they laid by. Salaries among
the Methodists have advanced some
what, but they are still extremely low
The country parsons look upon their
city brethren as rolling in wealth and
luxury, vet not a single Methodist pas
tor even in New York city receives as
high IL salary as five thousand dollars a
year. This seems incredible, but. ac-
cOrding to the New York Tribune, it is
fact, though it must be remembered
that parsonage is almost always pro-
vided and is furnished in some way or
other, comfortable or uncomfortable.
1t is not until one comes to the coun-
try districts that the really meager sal
aries are found. The case of the
preacher who applied for full connec-
ton with the recent conference at
Brooklyn is still fresh. Somebody got
up and said that the applicant owed
money, and SO ought not to be allowed
to come in. Then a committee found
out that the man had only three hun
drcd dollars year salary; that out of
this sum nc had to support himself and
keep horse, and on Sundays had to
ride thirty or forty miles to preach.
They decided to let him in. 1t is some
times the case that the country preach
cr'S salary is ckcd out by a edo
nation" from his llind-hcarted parish
toner's. They flock to the parsonage in
Il body some night, bring enough sand
WichcS and cakes and pies and cider to
enjoy themselves thoroughly, turn the
house upside down. leave a few clothes,
provisions and, perhaps, Il little money,
and then go home with the impression
that they have provided 4 winters
supply OF food for the dominie's fam
lily. and have done altogether the neat
thing.
