TERRIBLE MENACE

Oh, Harriet, disowned schoolteacher
that you are, how you do worry the Board
of Education!
President Hyde. referring to the cleo
tion, now less than a week away, re-
marked rather dolefully in open session
last night that sit will make small differ
ence to some of u.s."
The case of Harriet M. Fairchild, erst-
while principal of the Potrero School, who
was summarily deprived of her position
and described as insubOrdiuate and def
ant, is still fresh in the public mind.
Now Harriet read about the doings of
the board In the newspapers, and straight
way she reached up over the mantelpiece
and took down her suck, and with the
same lawyer was discovered sitting gilt
under The glare of the gas when the board
entered their rooms last eight.
Now here was pretty situation. There
was only short interval remaining to
them, could not this woman 90 away
again and leave them to finish in peace?
The lawyer moved over and took his
pla ce behind DR.. Clinton, who had had no
hand In the last move, at least, and he
rose and read the following:
RESOLVED. That the report OF Directors Pei

f. 1894 relative 10 charges preferred by bred
erick A. Hyde. president of this board against
Miss Harriet NJ. Fairchild be stricken and ex-
plunged from the minutes OF this board.
Director Dunn seconded a move to
adopt this. Somebody moved that it
be referred to the committee of the
whole. Mr.. Dunn wanted Immediate
action as time was short in which
TO get the records right for the
present board. DR.. Clinton said fatty and
pOintedly that an injustice had been done
to a good teacher; young woman who
had signifed by letter to this board that
she stood ready at all times To resume her
duties when this board would permit her
to do so; that libel had been committed
against her; that the records as they
stood, proclaiming her as gnil OF lnsu-
oordination and defiance, would act for
ever as bar 10 her progress and therefore
STOOD also forever as an Indictment against

ally time be summoned in civil and crim-

DR.. Clinton proceeded to read the law of

mem bers OF the board began TO feel the
clammy ooze Of dungeon upon them and
to forget their dyspepsia in visions OF the
rigid fare of bread and water.
question OF privilege or something of
the Kind stopped him after while and
the matter was referred TO the committee
of the whole, the duty of which commit-
tee of the whole will be to pull the board
out of the hole, having done which they
will resolve themselves into the august
BODY again and pull the committee Of the
whole in after it. thus very cleverly Shift
ing the responsibility to itself from itself
and from itself back to itself, and Miss
Fairchild will hang up the rattan again to
the boards great relief.

granted to certain teachers who have

Commissioner, who reported that the Cook
outlaws were not intruders. but all were
members of local tribes of Indians. In
view of this statement the Interior Depart
ment will make no other request for troops

examining the statutes we agree with the
view expressed in the opinion of the At
torney- General. 1t really leaves the de-
partment in condition where it can do
nothing to prevent acts of lawessness like
the Cook trouble"

The agricultural experiment station
OF the University of Wisconsin has
recently issued bulletin on noxious
weeds which will be of interest to
our people generally especially to the
weed commissioners. This bulletin,
which was prepared by Prof. e. S.
Golf, describes all of the weeds named
in the weed law, viz, Canada thistle,
burdock. OK eye daisy, snap dragon,
mustard, cockleburr, SOW thistle. sour
dock, wild parsnip and sweet clover.
Most of these weeds are already well
known to our farmers but there is
one marked exception, viz, the SOW
thistle. The sow thistle is without
doubt one of the very worst weeds
menacing our agriculture. Fortunately
it is found only in a few spots in this
state as yet, but it is spreading and
where it gains a foothold it is almost
Impossible to eradicate it.
This bulletin contains three photo
graphic pictures of the SOW thistle,
and SO describes it by the aid of these
pictures and the text that any farmer
or weed commissioner should readily
recognize it, Two or three other weeds
are often mistaken by persons for the
SOW thistle, and thus much confusion
has been caused 10 weed commits
sioners and others who are not sure
whether certain plants are the ones
meant in the law. Two pictures are
given to help in this matter One
shows the annual SOW thistle which
is a weed but not serious one. The
other shows the wild lettuce, a plant
often mistaken for the SOW thistle.
Our readers have heard great
deal about the Russian thistle in Da-
kota, and no doubt most of them think
of it as trouble to people at dis
lance but nothing which directly in
terests them. They win be surprised
to learn that the university authorities
have found the Russian thistle already
rooted within our own state boundar-
les. Specimens as rank in growth as
those of Dakota or Russia have been
found growing within one and half
miles of the capitol o. Madison. Prof.
Golf gives us Photographic picture
Of one of these plants found near
Madison. and in the text warns the
people against this latest accession to
our list of weed pests
This bulletin covers IS pages of
printed matter and illustrations A
copy should be in the hands of every
weed commissioner in the state and
every intelligent farmer. Copies of
the bulletin so long as the supply lasts,
will be sent free of all cost 10 any
person In the state who will send in
his request for the same. Address

ison, Wis, and call for bulletin 80

subjects and the annual report of the
station, write your request on postal

TELLING THE AGE or A HORSE
Changes Through Which the Teeth

Eight to fourteen days after tha
birth of horse, says writer in tho
st. Louis Post Dispatch, the first mid.
die nippets Of the set of milk teeth
are cut: four to six weeks afterward
the pair next TO them, and finally. af.
ter six or eight months, the outside
nippers appear. All these milk teeth
have a well defined body and neck and
q slender fang, and on their front sur.
faces grooves or burrows. which dis
appear from the middle nippers at thu
end of one year; from the next pair
in two years, and from the incisors
Ccutters) in three years: at the age of
: the middle nippers become loose and
pull out; in their places appear two
permanent teeth with deep, black cayi.
ties and full sharp edges. At the age
of the next pair falls out. At 4
years the corner teeth fall out, and
at the age of years the horse has
his permanent set of teeth. The teeth
grow in length as the horse advances
in years, but at the same time his
teeth are worn away by use about
one-twelfth of an inch every year SO
that the black cavities of the center
nappers below disappear in the 9Th
year; those of the next pair in the
It'll year and those of the corner.teetb
in the Sth year. Also the outer cor.
ner teeth of upper and lower jaw just
meet at s years of age. At years old
cups leave the two center nippers
above, and each of the twopupper cor.
ner teeth has little sharp protrusion
at the extreme outer corners. At the
age of 10 the cups disappear fromlthe
adjoining teeth, and at the age of IL
the cups disappear from the corner
teeth above. and are only indicated
by brOwnish spots. The oval form be-
comes broader and changes from the
18th to the 10th year more and more
into a triangular form. and the teeth
lose finally, with the Goth year all
regularity. There is nothing left In
the teeth that can afterward clearly

YOUTH AND CRIME IN FRANCE.
The Worst Offenders in the Sister Re
public Are Under the Age. Of 20.

The Worst Offenders in the Sister Re
public Are Under the Age OF 20.
The connection between crime and
youth is now one OF the problems that
are being most seriously discussed in
France, says writer in the st.
James Gazette. One would naturally
suppose that the most atroclous ana
the most callous criminals would be
those who had reached mature age In
career of crime. But such it not
the case. The most daring, the most
sanguinary, and the most hardened
criminals with whom French justice
has had to deal of late years have
been, with few exceptions, mere
youth. The great majority have been
under 20 vars. Those who wish to
be more fully informed oil tits sub
jeet would do we'll to consult the
Memoirs OF Able Faure. who, as
chaplain at the Grande Roquette, had
ample opportunity for taking note
of the most dangerous class of crimi-
mails. NJ Guillot an investigating
magistrate whose name has become
well known to the public In connection
with famous trials, declares that. al
though statistics show no general in
crease, in France the contingent OF
young criminals is growing more and
more numerous and that youthful mis-
creants were never SO remarkable as
now for cynicism and ferocity. II

HOW HIGH DOES A KITE FLY?
Measurement of Its Altitude Not
Problem Easy of Solution.


Ii is one Of the most difficult under
takings imaginable to even approx
mately estimate the height of a kite
above the earth, says the St Louis Re
public. This is on account Of the fact
that objects floating in the air seem
to be farther away than they really
are. 1t may be safely said that 1880
feet Is the greatest altitude that can
possibly be attained by single kite.
A kite flying at the height mentioned
will appear even 10 a conservative OBJ
server to be nearly If not quite a half
mile above the surface Of the earth,
but a careful measurement Of the
string and its angle will quickly prove
that 1t could not have been more than
a fourth of mile above the ground.
Ordinarily a kite will go no higher.
even If more string be paid out: this
Is because the wind depresses the
cord and causes the kite to really re-
cede, when it appears to rise. 1t has
been said that it Is possible to arrange
several kites in such a manner that
they will reach higher altitude than
it is possible to attain with single
Kite. In this manner. where three,
four, or even a dozen kites have been
used, remarkable heights have been
reached. Where more than one kite
is used only the main one is attached
to the end Of the string, the others
being attached along the main line %
manner similar to the arrangement
of the hooks along a strot line'') 4 an
average distance of about twelve feet
apart, Hinkleman, who made expert
ments at Buda Pesth. and Irlson. ana
Watson, whose investigations under
the Russian academy Of sciences were
carried on at Edeenea, Finland, report
curious results.
Where single kites could he forced
up into the atmosphere to height
1900 feet pair could be made
ascend to height of- from 2,0Oo to
2.100 feet, and tandem easily
reached the hieh.water mark Of 2,aVp
feet
The three exncrmenters alluded ~
believe that with proper ARRANGEMENTS
of the kites. and with d scientific aa-
justment Of both the tail and strias
a height Of two miles will eventually
be reached.
