CAlJoE SONG.

Past laughing brook and pebbled stream,
That leap from mead and maple crest
Upon the waves maternal breast
Where shadow-children lie and dream,
My paddle wakes, upon the lakes
Calm face. the phantom OF a smilo
That ripples back upon the track
My bark hath fallowed for mile.
The paddle keeps a rhythmic sweep
Where water-lilies lie asleep,
And reeds are bent with merrlment
Upon the zephyr's tale intent.
By maple hollow, lane and wood.
And June's fleld-1ower sisterhood.
The sun has set, and moon hath met
The twilight's kisses manitoba;
And in the West the day doth rest
On purple pillows fringed with gold.
Past tapering frs, where stars seem swung
Like ghosts Of fairy lanterns hung.
Charles Gordon Rogers, in Outing.

The gross blunders about the United
States and its people, once so common
in even the best informed English
newspapers, are rarely met with now
adays. Once in awhile we hear some
thing about the estate of Albany"
and occasionally that tho Indian
savages threaten Chicago, but as
rule English editors avoid seri-
GUS errors, though they sometimes
make laughable ones. OF this
latter character is the follow
ing, which the Chicago Times-Herald
clips from the Westminster Gazette.
1t certainly ought to have startling
effect wherever it is read: "One OF
the most curious colonies that have
ever been established on the American
Continent is, we learn from the Lon
don American, about to settle in
North Dakota. 1t is a colony of
drunkards. Twenty.one drunkards
and their families are about to move
from Indiana to take up their abode
upon the virgin soil of North Dakota.
They say they will establish model
drunkard colony Already they have
purchased 1000 acres of land, and each
family will receive an allotment of
about fifty acres. The colony will be
watched with much interest. 1t be-
gins operations this month. Very
likely all the colonists Will want to
start saloons, and the question arises,
who will be ready to till the soil ?"

aid, we can see John Bull elevating
his eyebrows at this paragraph and
exclaiming: "What very remarkable
people" I" The joke, if there is one in
this amusing mistake, is on our es-
teemed fellow citizens, the Dunkards,
who are neither tipplers nor drinkers,
and look not upon the wine when it is
red. A colony of Dunkards from
Indiana have recently established
themselves in North Dakota, a fact
that was stated in the Times-Herald a
month or two ago. 1t was the mis-.
reading of this piece of news by our
English contemporary that made them
out "colony of tipplers." They are,

THE PRACTICAL IN EDUCATION.

The public school management of Stamford. Conn.,, decided this fall to add cooking to the list of things taught. It was contended beforehand that there was no demand for such instruction. Arrangements were made, however, for three classes of fifteen each, forty-tive in all; and, To. eighty six applied to be taught. That shows something of the Inclination that pre- Yails everywhere now toward the prac- tical in education. Another illustra- tion is furnished in that same town Accommodations were provided for eighty pupils in woodworking, and when school opened one hundred ap- piled.
 | Stamford is no exception. The same tendency prevails elsewhere. In Hart ford the superintendent of schools has announced that cooking and sewing will be taught in the free evening school. The town has voted to es tablish manual training at the higf school; and, in such of the distric schools as have already taken it up it's popularity and success are alread! manifest

THE SENATE PREFERABLE.

Speculations as to the composition of President McKinley's cabinet aresnot of much enlightenment at present One thing may be noted in them the small number of senators who are mentioned in connection with cabinet places. There was talk about Sher- man and Allison and Lodge at first, but it was soon apparent that none of them would accept such appointments It has dawned upon the public mind that the office of United States senator than a cabinet position, or even of that of vice-president. There is only one office that rivals it-that of speaker of the national house of rep resentatives. This is altogether the most powerful office in the govern ment, aside from that of president, and the fact that it holds for but two years to senator's six, makes the senate prepreferred often. The inn portance of a senator has greatly | grown since the organization of the
 government. His control of patron
 age (which generally exists, though Roscoe Conkling was thwarted In us- ing iD is one cause of this, and rich
 men and business men have come to
 desire it very much, it being almost the only place in the government to
 which they as class aspire.

STILL DANGEROUS.

It is several years now since some persons who affected to be shrewd ob- servers of politics began to assure us that the Populistic movement had reached its maximum and was on the decline; and we hear some of the same talk now, following the late cleo tion. The facts, however, did not jus tify the earlier statements and cannot be considered to substantiate the pres ent one The Populists have increased their representation in the house from seven members in the Fifty-fourth congress to at least twenty-two in the Fifty fifth; they have lost nothing in the senate, and they have secured con- plete possession of the local govern ment in three states, which is larger measure of power than they ever held before at one time The Populists are by no means dwindling in either num-
 bers or aggressiveness, except, per
 haps, in Arizona. The country at large must reckon with them still.

The Washington correspondent of the New Tory Times refers as follows to the feeling at the capital regarding the outcome of the election:
 Throughout the classified service the success of the Republican candi- date is more assuring thanAyould have been the victory hoped for by Bryan, who was an outspoken enemy of the civil service, and who might, if elected president, have swept away all the regulations of the service with stroke of his pen, thus opening that service to the old spells system of employ ment in the public service for po1iti- cal aid rendered in the campaign. The new president may be advised to do what Bryan was inclined to do, and he will be urged by some of the men who have rendered him great assist ance to relax the civil service regula- tions. But the platform of the party cannot be respected if the merit sys- tenn is to be seriously assailed, and now that Mckinley is elected it is not believed that he will have any inclina- tion to disregard the plank that made every friend of. the system his sup porter. There are not a few ex-em- ployes here who trust that the new ad- ministration will redress what are de scribed as some of the wrongs com
 mitted by the present administration

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION.

The contract between the Western Union Telegraph company and the Bell Telephone company, by which each was bound not to make war on the other, will terminate very soon. At the same time the leading telephone patents are brought into court and litigation is going on, which, if it turns one way. will practically destroy such monopoly as the patent laws now give to the wonderful invention.
 What then, good many are ask ing, is to happen to the telephone? To an observer it looks as if there was little chance of war between telegraph and telephone. unless it is brought about for stock jobbing purposes Western Union still has the flavor of Gould about it, as well as decided admixture of water in it's makeup, and might go into damaging fight now for the sake of making sudden peace later and catching the shorts. But from the business point of view, the telephone company has no reason te provoke hostilities and the telegraph company has every reason for keep ing the peace. If war comes. Westerr Union would be the greater sufferer But there's little prospect of a fight.

NOTES OF INTEREST.

Before Dr. Nansen started for the north pole the London Chronicle agreed to give him 95,000 if he suc- ceeded in reaching the pole and gave the first news of his success to The Chronicle. In case he did not reach the pole he was to receive G2,5O0 if he sent the first news of his failure to the paper. As it turned out, Nansen's letter to The Chronicle did not reach it until the news was already pub lished, and, therefore, the question how much money he should receive will be decided by arbitration.
