GullS For Profit.

Some one who believes it is proper to
kill seals for their skins and elephants
for their tusks, but considers it heinous
crime to kill a bird for it's feathers, has
learned that a man has established
gull farm on Long Island and is max
ing a profit out Of the business of sup
plying gulls' wings as adornments for
women's hats.
This terrible thing has excited the
mind Of the man who made the discov-
cry, and before telling the story of the
gull farm he proceeds to arraign the
women of civilization as being RESPONSE
BILE for what he terms 'barbarity Of
fashion, The story is a rather interest
ing one, however, and it might be used
in support of the statement, SO often
made, but sometimes doubted, that no
one Of ordinary intelligence and willing
to work need 20 without a livelihood
earned by himself. The man who has
established the gull farm is a pioneer in
his business, and he does not have to
work hard in conducting it, it being
only necessary for him to see to it that
the gulls' eggs are not disturbed during
the period of incubation, since the birds
forage for themselves and will not for.
sake their birthplace. True, they &C
south every winter, but in the sprine
they come back again to the little islanc
that has been selected as gull breedery
and remain there till cold weather re-
turns.

wings resemble and are sold for doves

Summer School.


I wish to again call the attention of
teachers to the summer school for
Mile Laos and Sherburne counties. to
be held at Elk River beginning July
Sth, 1895, and lasting four weeks. The
conductor and assistant are said to be
of the best in the teaching force, and
we expect very profitable term.
Those who have ambition to be we'll
to the front, in their work, will attend
these schools as no where else can
they do so much in so short time and
at so small a cost. I have not heard
really progressive teachers say that
they did not get more out of the sum-
mer school than they expected, but I
have heard the remark that cit did
me no good" and it was no doubt true.
for [ knew of nothing that would.
Some feel that they can i'll afford the
expense. Well! you would not prefer
to employ a doctor who thought he
could not afford to prepare himself for
his work because he could not afford

reasoning applies to the teacher, and
most school boards talk that way.
Any one wishing board or rooms will
please write me soon, and I will find a
place cor make one.''

"Diroct Legis1atiOn.0

It must be because congress Is so bad
and the state legislatures are often SO
corrupt that the cry for Direct legisla-
tion ''of this people, by the people and
for the people, is rising higher and
higher. There is a strong movement in
it's favor in New Jersey, where the old
Saoe track ring was charged with own
ing a legislature body and bones. The
New Jersey legislature itself felt the
stigma attached to it so keenly that an
act establishing direct legislation came
within thres votes Of becoming law. In
Is states Of the Union bills to this effect
have been or will soon be introduced.
Direct legislation is, in brief, law.
making by the body Of the people at
large instead Of solely by their legisla-
lures. The machinery by which it is pro-
posed to work the direct legislation is
that af the referendum and the initia-
tive. That is to say, Legislatures will
not at present be abolished, accord
ing to the scheme of the reformers. But
when law is passed it will not be-
come actual law for 80 days. During
that time, if as many as, say, per cent
Of the voters at large sign petition
asking it to be referred to the whole
people, then it must be so referred, and
the people Of the state vote on it. If
there is a majority against it, even
though the Legislators passed it unani-
mously, it cannot become law. The
people have spoken direct. Again, sup,
pose the mass of the voters want a given
law passed, they apply the initiative
method. If certain per cent of them
petition for this law, it must be acted
on by the legislature before any other
measure is taken up. The general as
sembly can do as it likes about enacting
the law, but if it is not passed in that
body the referendum takes effect, and
the whole people vote on it themselves.
If a majority are in favor, it becomes
law, though every state legislator be
against it. The direct legislation meth
cd would be particularly available in
municipal government. Already it is in
operation in this country when state
constitutions are adopted or amended.
Direct legislation, then, consists of
two parts-the referendum and the in
itiative. By the referendum the people
have final vote on law the legislature
has already passed. By the initiative
they force by petition the Legislature to
act on proposed measure which they
themselves can afterward make into
law if the general assembly refuses to
do so

Medical Testimony.

If the latest claims of chemical ex-
perts are true, there seems reason to be-
ieve that the evidence is untrustworthy
upon which Carlyle Harris was convict
ed in New York for poisoning his wife,
and, later, that on which DR.. Buchanan
was convicted of the same crime.
A New York physician and chemical
expert has been experimenting with
ptomaines for some time and now claims
that the color tests used to demonstrate
the presence of morphine in a body are
practically valueless. He says that the
state should have a chemists Office, and
in every case Of poison the work should
be done by these officials, and if poison
be obtained it should be exhibited to the
jury, thus avoiding contradictory expert
testimony.
It will be remembered that DR.. Bucll
anan alleged that his wife died from
apoplexy, which was the disease the at
tending physician certified she had.
Chemical experts for the prosecution said
that by color tests they had discovered
morphine in the stomach of Mrs. Buch-
anan, and it was their testimony that
clinched the case against the prisoner

DESCRIPTION OF THE CANAL.
One of the Most Stupendous Works Of
Modern Engineering.

One of the Most Stupendous Works OF
Modern Engineering.
Nearly eight years have now passed since.
on June 8, 1887. Emperor William 1. laid the
foundation stone Of the Holtenau lock OF
this canal, near Kiel. The President Of the
Reichstag handed the Emperor trowel and
hammer, and the Emperor, tapping the
stone, pronounced the work to be one OF
peace, honor, defence and progress. Then
various Princes, Ministers. members OF the
Bundesrath and other functionaries each
struck the stone three times. The practical
task was pushed forword vigorously, and 1t
Is said that nearly 5000 officials and men were
kept at work upon it continuously. The
canal is about siXty-four miles long.
Its course from Holtenau Is through the
route of the old Elder Canal and thence by
course as direct as possible, and yet with not
few decided swervings from straight line,
1t reaches the Elbe little east OF Brunsbut-
tel. The Elder Canal, which was, OF course,
Danish enterprise, had existed over CEN
tury, the advantage Of avoiding the long de-
tour around Cape Skagen having been OBJ
vious for generations. Germany. In taking
up the new project Of a ship canal, had large
ly in view Its strategic uses, but 1t also had
its advantages on the commercial side, and
these, to greater or less extent, the whole
world can share. In order that the canal
may be constantly employed and earning
money, it will he lighted at night by cleo.
tricity. The level Is fixed for that Of tho
Baltic; and in order to protect 1t from cur
rents 80 strong as to impede progress, huge
locks have been built. The width OF the canal
at the top Is sixty metres and twenty-five al
the bottom, and, as is obvious, large mer
chant ships can meet and pass each other.
,vbiIa with q view To the demand of the
very largest warships or other vessels. there
are half dozen side stations In which tc
accommodate one Of the passers. Very high
tides are to be feared only rarely, and the
heavy locks provided offset this source Of
trouble As compensation for the cur.
rents in the canal. there Is less danger OF Ice
forming, although, Of course, it is expected
that In excessively cold weather 1t will be
entirely frozen over. The canal is 200 feet
broad between the tops Of the embank.
ments. At its bottom 1t Is seventy-hve feet
broad. The average depth is thirty feet.
The walls are constructed partly OF sand, un'
cut stones and masonry.
