in a blaze. In the barn were two horses,
two carriages, harness, etc, and large
quantity of last years hay. All was

spread TO the lumber yard of Williams
& Robson. They succeeded in saving
their books and papers and small
quantity of lumber, but the heat was SO
great it soon drove the workers off.
Two small houses were also burned,
one vacant and the other owned and
occupied by Joseph Stein and family.
They saved all their household goods.

HoPPERs IN BARTON.
Do Not Fly but Stay the Year Around
and Eat.

The Great Bend Tribune says:
The hoppers are doing considerable
damage in localities. In some places
they had stripped hedges, mulberry
trees, destroyed gardens and are going
for the corn.
These are not the red-leg fellows that
fly when the wind SUITS them, but a
peastly, mullet-head, loggy, copper
colored beast without any semblance of
beauty. They are called homesteaders
by the farmers, as they take possession
without leave and stay the year round.
Something will have to be done to re-
heve the country of these pests. They
do more damage than hot winds and
drOuth combined"

building should be above ground, per-
fectly drained and ventilated, we'll Or
ganized, absolutely clean, and the ex-
pense Of labor should be of no consid-
Grafton. The men should be- systematic
ally inspected with regard to their
personal cleanliness, having, in the first
place, been selected for employment on
the ground of their good general health
and temperance. The hours of labor
should be limited, and convenience for
washing purposes should be provided.
The buildings should be dustproof, in
order to make dust contamination i'm
possible. The ovens should be fired at

best and guaranteed quality, and, in
order that only proper proportion

equivalent of flour. it should be meas

Child Education.

The history of education has one curl.
Gus feature not recognized by its histori-
ans. Ii has been thought that eduea-
ton began for child when he entered
the primary school, and that all the time
before that was waste period in his
life. Now it is recognized thar this is a
mistake. The child's education begins
within three day of its, birth. His mother
Is his first teacher. Mother play" his
first school. Now We know that the
Kindergarten is the foundation of all
schooling, the basic system of every
education. Many people have fancied
that the kindergarten is the school of
little fingers, and that the making of
little patterns in paper is all of its edu.
cation. The kindergarten is far more
than that. Ii is the education of every
side of the child-nature. 1t is even a
school of graceful manners. The child
learns here his first lessons in a sweet
courtesy and instinctively acquires the
Christian spirit of civiitv. The i'm
portance of right thinking is formed and
strengthened by kindergarten training.
This leads one to see the relationship
existing between all things, their re-
lationship to each other and TO him,
which faculty of seeing things in true
proportion, is of inestimable value in
daily life. The kindergarten emphasizes
the value of habit and strives to make
permanent as early as possible good
habits of thinking, of feeling. and of
doing. There is much play in the Kin
dergarten but as Schiller says deep
meaning lies in childish play" The
child's play is to him what mans work
is to man. And in the kindergarten the
child works as consciously and conscien-
tiously over his paper and paste, his
blocks or tablets, as older children over
states and books, or men over their daily
task. In the kindergarten we try, by
Illustration, example, song and story to
lead the child TO good habits, to unself-
ishness, thought for others. which is
given room to express itself in action.
As the child is found in all classes of
society, so the kindergarten is for the
rich and poor alike Ghduauqua As
