rlANKATO HONORED.
Prof Cox To Make An Important Fish
Report.

Prof. q. o. Cox, of the normal
school, has just been hOnored by the
State University with an important
commission. He has been selected to
prepare report on the fishes of Min
nesota, to be published as part of
the natural history survey of the
state. This work will doubtless oc-
cupy his vacations for the next two
years or more.
A preliminary report will probably
be published within year, to be fol-
lowed later by large and finely illus
trated volume which will constitute
the full and final report. Prof. Cox
will have several assistants under
his direction next summer and will
spend the entire vacation in the work.
During the past three summers, it
will be remembered, he was in the
employ of the United States fish COM
mission, studying the ichthyology OF
this and other states to the west OF
us, including the Dakotas, Nebraska
and Wyoming. During the past sum-
mer his work was mostly in Canada,
although some investigation was made
in northern Minnesota and Michigan.
He is no doubt the most accomplished
specialist in Minnesota, as the APP
pointment indicates. His collection
of fishes now in the normal school is
large and valuable and contains more
type forms than are to be found in the
university collection. Large addi-
tions will be made to it as a result of
this appointment.
The friends of Mr.. Cox and of the
school alike will rejoice in this honor
to our popular and capable young
naturalist. The specialization OF his
work to biological science only, now
for the first time rendered possible by
the enlarged income and facilities of
the school, is sure to result in great
advantage to himself 'and his depart
ment.

FASHION AND ECONOMY BOTH APP
PROVE BLACK CLOTHING.

An Easy Way of Home Dyeing Cot
ton, Wool, Silk, and Feathers
Readily CoIored Handsome Black
Use Only Diamond Dyes-Abso-
luteIy Fast Black.
1t is only within the last few years
that it has been possible for an mex
perienced person to dye black that
would not crock, fade or wash out.
Even milled-dyed black goods were
rarely absolutely fast.
The advent of three diamond dye
fast blacks,-for wool, for cotton, and
for silk and feathers, -haS changed all
this. Now, with a ten cent package
of one of these dyes, the first trial
gives perfect success. The direction
on the packages are so plain and SIM
pie that even child can get better
results than. the experienced dyer
could a few years ago.
The prevailing fashion for black
feathers, gowns, and cloaks,
and the fact that anything can be col
ored with diamond dyes black that
will not crock or fade, explains their
almost universal use.
The peculiar way in which the dia-
mond dye fast blacks are made, gives
them a great superiority over all
other methods of home dyeing.
There are some forty other colors of
diamond dyes, each of which is
thoroughly reliable, and as superior
to limitations as sunlight is to moon
light.

will suffer. Of course. for free wool will de-
slroy the sheep raising industry.
The Wilson bill not only puts wool but
mutton on the free lis. at time when our
farmers evcRnow find i. difficult. to CON-
pete with Canadian mutton. Recently
good mutton has been shipped to this
country from South America. and Irish
and Scotch mutton has found considera-
