THE GIRL WHO MARRIEs.
Things 20 BE Done and Things to Be
Left UndOne.

Things 20 BE Done md Things to Be
Left Undone.
The girl who marries must not expect
to find the married state an enchanted
garden of happiness, where never a
weed or thorn grows. She will certain.
ly have many times of trouble and wear
mess; but she must with brave heart
and indominitable courage, face the
new unknown life which, along with
fuller joy than she has hitherto known,
lies before her. She should never allow
even her mother to criticise and find
fault with the behavior of the man she
has taken for better or for worse. She
should do all in her power to make home
the daintiest, cosiest little nest imagin-
able, so that the husband shall only Toe
too glad to spend his evenings there in
stead of going off 20 his CLUB" She
must bear in mind that no man, even
"the dearest fellow in the world" can
bear with good temper being kept wait
ing 20 minutes for his dinner, or finding
his shirts minus their complement OF
buttons and his socks full of holes. She
should not forget that well-coolled,
daintily-served meals go far to insure
household peace. No time is wasted
that is spent as means to this desir-
able end. Everything put on the table
should look as nice as it tastes. She
should strive to be always as fresh and
attractive as a newly-opened daisy
sparkling with dew, and as sweet-ten-
pcred and loving a little wife as ever
gladdened the heart of a husband.- -

HON. GEORGE LoTHRoP DEAD.
The Result of Heat Prostrntion Sew
ernl Days Ago.


Detroit, Mich, July 13.-Hon. George
V. N. Lothrop, eX-minister to Russia,
died at ten o'clock in the morning at the
Lothrop residence, Fort street. west,
He was stricken with heat prostration
week ago, and had been in comatose
condition most of the time since.
GMr Lothrop was one of the most distin-
guished men of Michigan and his career was
in every way creditable one. He first en-
tered the Wolverine state when about 12
years of age and began life in the west on a
farm owned by his brother in Kalamazoo
county. For years he did all the rough
work, and laid the foundation of the stur-
dy constitution that had carried him
through so years of hard intellectual la bor
Graduating in law, he settled in Detroit In
1S4S and rapidly rose to high position in
his profession. He was never so very con-
spicuous or prominent in politics, prefer
ring to devote his attention almost entire
ly to legal work AT one time he ran for
congress, but was defeated and in 1860 led
the Michigan delegation to the Charleston
national convention, in which he voted
for Douglas. He was the principal Amer
lean diplomat at st. Petersburg during the
first Cleveland administration. Mr.. 10th
rop retired from the practice of law in 1876
and since that time had lived in retire.

Fruits as Boot Cleaners.

Orange juice is one of the best dress
ings for black shoes or boots. Take a
slice or quarter of an orange and rub
it on the shoe or boot; then, when dry,
brush with a soft brush until theshpe
shines like looking glass. ThisRis an
English recipe. Another fruit dressing
is for tan shoes, the inside Of q Sba halia
skin. Rub the skin all over the shoe
thoroughly, wipe off carefully With a
soft cloth and polish with flannel
cloth, briskly. Patent leather shoes
should not be polished with blackihg.
These are the hardest Kind sof shoes tc
keep looking well and require constant
care. They may be cleaned with damp

Mirrors for Theater Goers.

Fl. A. Smith, of Brooklyn, n. Y, pro-
poses to supply every seat, except the
front row, in theaters, with tiny in
dividual mirrors. These will be affixed
by means of light frame, the lower
end of which will form telescope rod.
The. glass could be drawn up, by means
of ring, and the occupant of the seat
behind be satisfied regarding her APP
pearance after her hat is removed The
mirror could then be pushed down into
n shallow box. There would be no need
of crowded dressing-rooms. The frame
to which the mirror is attached is SO
shaped as to form coat rack.

New York, July 1.-two children
were suffocated in burning tenement
house in Jersey City early Tuesday
morning. Their parents are so badly
injured that they may not survive, a
girl of IS years was probably fatally
burned and a policeman sustained
burns and inhaled smoke in such guam

out in the baker shop of Edward Man

apartments and halls over the bakery
that it was difficult to breathe, but the
policemen succeeded in rescuing many
women and children, whom they passed
out of windows to firemen on ladders.
William Seigler, third-foor tenant,
had been i'll and the flames and smoke
drove him insane. He rushed about
the building screaming and hindering
the work of the fieemen. He inter
fered with the policemen and fought
with them when they attempted to

THE OLD MAN SHOOTS.
Thrilling Experience of a Local
Lothario, or Love Unreturned.

| It was last Wednesday night. The
sun had long before disappeared over
the western horizon and the points of
its rays could just be seen tinging one
of two floating clouds along the west
ern skies. It was an ideal lovers
night, and just as the bats were delv-
ing out from behind the business signs
or from the cracks occasioned by the
elements in the wainscoating, John
Jasperson, the hero of this tale, and
for the fifth time since he appeared on
loves chess-board in Redwood Falls,
was wandering to the home of his
adored to announce that he was in
love, desperately extensively in love.
What he had saved on ice cream
and frappe sizz during the winter he
had boarded up only to spend for a
huge bunch of English violets to pre-
sent to his adored, and thNs attempt
to win her by the fragrance of the
violets and the burning eloquence of
his passionate soul.
But that love was not returned. Is
abel johnson did not respond to the
love sick encores of John Jasperson
with that warmth of feeling and rapt-
urous delight sent forth from the poet
ic soul of Jasperson. A stern parent,
too, had apparently set his foot down
on her paying any attention to the
honeyed words of the lover whose love
was not returned,
John met her at the south side gar
den gate. His smile was broader at the
first glance than the main delta of the
Mississippi. Then his cheeks
flushed and John smiled no longer.
She turned to 20 away.

THURSDAY. JUNE 2, 1897.
NONSENSICAL STUFFING,
State Supt. prendergast Talks
About Business Education.

Hon. w. w. Prendergast, State Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction,
took fall out of scientific education
before the meeting of school trustees
of the various districts in Redwood
county last Thursday afternoon. It
was body blow that he struck when
he told the trustees that the school
pupil had better get thorough bust
ness insight education than to know
about the mummies dug up in African
researches, the position of the fixed
stars and their relations to the planets,
and all other education on the scien-
tific line that the pupil is not likely to
make any use of in his post-school
days. Not content with taking crack
at that mode of education for the bust
ness young man or girl he dealt anoth-
or blow at the teacher who tries to
cram the pupil full of non-sensical
ideas to the extent of making the pu
pill memorize all that the teacher en-
forces upon him or her. After the
uperintendent roasted the idea,
laughed at the idea, he told the trus-
tees that they had better employ
teachers that would instruct the young
to think for themselves, think rightly,
and get good, sound idea of business
that would carry them through the
world. Had some of the classical
professors who delight in kid-glove
dandying with subjects beneficial to
one student out of 500, been present
and heard the common talk of the old
farmer superintendent they would
have held their hands up in holy hor-
ror and wondered whether the CLASH
cal cuss had any show in Minnesota
in this 10Th century.
The meeting was called to order at
two o'clock sharp by Supt. Race, who
preluded the introduction of Mr.. Prem
dergast by stating that here in Red
wood county he. found some schools
much different from others-that one
school would have everything needed
and in excellent shape while in school
three miles away everv thing was at
IS and rs, with poor teacher and an
Indifferent board.
Mr.. Prendergast spoke on subjects
given to him by Mr.. Race. The first
was on the rights of school trustees
and the rights of teacher in a school.
He first stated that the school board
had the right to state what studies a
pupil should pursue and the fact that
a pupil studied geography in the same
class with another pupil is no reason
why the first pupil should be compell
ed to study another branch with the
same pupil or class. He thought that
the wiser plan of the trustees was to
select teacher who had good judg-
ment, wide experience, and who could

one-third to one quarter less than
where the books are bought by pupil
or parent. Besides this where books
are bought by the pupil or parent there
is always from one to three weeks lost
before the book is bought and the pu-
pill gets down to business" He thought
that where $50, 100000 was spent to
no good the country could we'll afford
to spend more than &, 100000 for edu-
cation.
Getting down to the subject of
school libraries the speaker favored
them very much as means for furn-
ishing interesting facts for certain sub
jects, and stated that without library
we are obliged to go way back to
where our learned ancestral professors
started to get at the foundation OF
knowledge. 1t was here that Mr.
Prendergast stated that he did not
believe in threshing over old straw:
that the pupils Of to-day, after learn
ing to read and write should get on to
modern subjects, on to modern bust
ness ways, and should 60 to the Ii
brary for his old straw and learn in a
minute what it took their ancestors a
day or a week to find out. And then
it should not be driven into the pu-
pills memory word for word. The
knowledge of the fact was enough.
Mr.. Prendergast defined what a
qualified teacher is-one that holds q
county or State certificate, diploma
from Normal school, is a graduate
from school Of pedagogy of the State
U, and district employing any other
is not entitled to any of the State ap-
portionment of school funds. It was
here brought out of the speaker that
a district employing third grade Ger
tifcate teacher against the opinion OF
the county superintendent that the
district is entitled to better teacher
cannot come in for it's share of the
State apportionment.
The whole of the remarks were
listened to with wrapt attention by the
large number of district trustees pres.
ent and they all went home with the
knowledge that they had learned
something not before known.
