Qualities of a Teacher,

To awaken thought in the dullest
mind is hundred times higher achieve
ment than to merely hear a genius re-
cite. 1t requires more genius to be a
good common school teacher than to
be any college professor in the world.
and we do not undervalue the college
and university. The common school
teacher holds the key that unlocks
every department of education to the
human mind. Remember also that in a
land like ours the educated are not con-
fined to the graduates of our universi-
ties, but are found among the gradu-
ates of our common schools, who have
kept on reading, seeing, hearing, think
ing, and talking, opening their minds
and hearts and lives to nature, men and
God.
a repulsive teacher is a poor teacher.
A teacher whose silent example, man
ners, temper or spirit awakens unpleas-
ant thoughts is a failure A sarcastic.
patronizing, partial and unkind teacher
should never be allowed in a school,
room. A teacher who will twit a dull
boy of his dullness should be sent to the
reform school. Every teacher should be
what he would have his scholars be-

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
The number of railway employees
killed during the year ending June 80,
1895. was 1,S11. and the number in
jured was 25,696. These figures COM
pared with those of the previous year
show decrease of II in humber killed.
and an increase of 2,214 in the number
injured The number of passengers
killed was 10. the number injured
1915. These figures give for the year
decrease of 154 in the number killed.
and $50 in the number injured The
number of passengers killed is remark
ably small The smallest number
killed in any of the preceding seven
years was 2S6, in 1890. One emplove
was killed for each 433 employed. and
one employe was injured for each 81
employed. OF the class of employees
known as trainmen, that is, engineers
tremen, conductors, and other en-
ployes whose service is upon trains, it
appears that one was killed for each
100 in service, and one injured for each
IL in service. The number of passen-
gers carried for each passenger killed
during the year was 2,9S4 ,S32, and the
number carried for each passenger in
jured was 213,651. The lis blity of
passengers to accidents is betur shown
in the fact that II .G96, 743 passenger
miles We're accomplished for every
passenger killed, and .,131 ,971 passen-
ser miles for every passenger injured
y comparative statement shows that
considerable advance was made during
1870 in respect to railway casualties.
1t is suggested that beneficial results
were derived from the fitting of equip
ment with automatic appliances as we'll
as from the raising of the character of
railway service and grade of railway
equipment, first noted in the last re-
port.
CONCLUSION.
In concluding his report the sta
tistician renews his recommendations
that reports be required from express
companies engaged in interstate traffic,
fl ON all corporations, companies, or
persons owning rolling stock which is
used in interstate commerce. as also
all corporations, companies, or persons
owning depot property, stock yards,
elevators, and the like, and from all
carriers by water whose business in
fence interstate traffic. The
further recommendation is made that
Congress be requested to provide for
a bureau of statistics and accounts,
which shall have the right of inspec-
ton and control over the accounting
departments of the common carriers

GRINDING AT THE MILL.

The room was long ago forgot,
And yet the picture haunts me still
The when and where it matters not
Blind Samson grinding at the mill.
His eyes, then opened to the night,
Spoke the strange language of despair;
His brow, weak specter of his might,
Was furrowed with the lines of care.
The blind men see a thousand things
That we with eyesight cannot see
The SightlesS Milton felt His wings
Who fills what we call vacancy.
Me thinks, how many Samsons grind
on other mills at others corn.
Because they are like Samson, blind,
Fit subjects for Phllistine scorn.
The neck that bends to human load,
And bears the yoke without protest,
Has found its level in the road,
And is an animals, at best.
Blind Samson prayed for strength re-
newed,
And God gave answer to his cry
The tOppling columns round him strewed
Show how despair itself can die

Value of Good Olive Oil.

Olive oil is now used in many ways
at one time never thought of. Be
sides being more largely used medicin-
ally, it enters into various processes of
cooking much more extensively than
it did. 1t is well known that eggs fried
in good olive oil are much better fla
vored than when any kind of fat has
been used I'm massage, bathing, and for
numerous other purposes, the use of this
most natural valuable food is greatly
extending. The value of good olive oil
is beginning to be much more generally
recognized throughout the world than
1t fomerly was. Eminent authorities
have experimented with it and found it
a potent agent for any defects of the
eXcretory ducts, especially of the skin
Eczema has rapidly disappeared upon
a discontinuance of starch foods and a
substitution of diet of fresh and dried
fruits, milk, eggs and olive oil. It's bene-
fetal effects when taken in conjunction
With a fruit diet have frequently been
remarked upon the hair, nails and scalp
quickly clearing the latter of scurf and
supplying to the SebaceiOus glands the
oily substance which they secrete when
in a healthy condition, and the absence
of which is the cause OF debility of the
hair, frequently ending in badness 1t
has long been observed that those who
look upon olive oil as a common article
of food, and take it as such, are gener-
ally healthier and in better condition
than those who do not It's therapeutic
and prophylactic properties are now
we'll known to medical men. Oil is de-
structive to certain forms of micro-or-
ganic life, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that they can best be eradicated
from the system by it's internal use The
use of oil not only does this, but 1T re-
stores to the worn-out or diseased It's
sue just those elements of repair that
it's reconstruction demands.

Ten tramps were locked up last
night, but all but one, who was drunk
and ugly, were released by the police
before breakfast this morning, with
out being brought before the court.
1t has been suggested that the
tramps be set at work pounding up
boulders for use in surfacing over
streets, and that the stone thus Sc
cured be charged for in making the
assessments against property at the
rate now being paid for machine
crushed stone. This would meet the
expense of boarding the tramps and
hiring an extra guard, if needed, and
convict and free labor would not work
side by side.

FOR SHERIFF..

Mr.. 4. j. GrOut announces that he
will be a candidate for the office of
sheriff, subject to the action of the
Blue Earth county Republican conven-
ton. Mr.. Grout has been a resident
of MankatO for nineteen years and is
well known throughout the county.
For the past three years he has been
on the police force, and he has made
a faithful officer. He possesses the
requisite qualifications for first
class sheriff, and if the convention
sees proper to nominate him he will
IN doubtedly be elected.
