The Moravians have number of queer customs, among oth- CTS that of assembling in church before day on Easter morning and marching in procession to the graveyard to/the sound of plaintive music, and sound ing a funeral dirge for each member of the community who has died during the preceding year.
 On New Year eve the people also re- pair to the church about seven o'clock and pass the time in reading the Scrip lures. listening to a sermon, etc, until within a few minutes of 12 o'clock.

Most Complete Kindergarten Build

Mrs. Alfred Corning Clark, of Coop
erstown, N. Y, is about to place in New
York an enduring memorial of her late
husband, whose father, with Isaac Sing.
er, founded the Singer Sewing Machine
company. In the very heart of the East
Side tenement district she is about to
erect building, which will combine
a model kindergarten school with an
entertainment hall, and on the roof
covered breathing spot for hot summer
evenings. The New York Kindergarten
association will have charge of the
school, and Mrs. Clark will maintain it.,
According to present plans, fully
$500,00O will have to be set aside for the
building and its support But more
than that may be necessary, for orders
have been given to make this the model
kindergarten school of the world. The
lot has been purchased and workmen
are getting ready to remove the old
building standing there now. The
building will be ready for occupancy
next summer.

], s. Parks, state printer elect, Of
Kansas, has announced that the use oi
typesetting machines would be abol
ished in the state printing offices with
the beginning of his administration.
During the last session of the legis
lature union printers made strong
fight to secure the passage of a bill
prohibiting the use OF machines in the
state offices. In this they were unsuc.
cessful, but they did succeed in having
attached to the appropriation bill a
rider" which provides that the stat
printer shall receive but ten cents per
1000 "ems" for machine work. 1t Is
claimed that at this rate the machine
cannot be operated, except at a loss,
and as result they will be thrown o,lt
and the state will pay from 80 cents 10
% cents per 1000 for hand composition.

Haven't Heard Heatwole.

and politician, rode into Red Wing on
blackboard with a horny handed son

announced that, If there were no other
Republican in the Third district who
wished to attain greatness through
seat In the national house Of represent
atives, he would regretfully throw
himself into the breach again, breeches
and all. This was Joeps way of wig
wagging the faithful Republicans Of

almost the only good, wise and brave
man whom the Third ever produced.
1t was expected there would be hearty
Heatwole hurrahs all the way from
Fairfax to Faribault, from Litchfield
to Lakeville. But the Third hasn't got
out its pyrotechnics; it hasn't shouted a
shout; it isn't enthused.
What is the matter? Doesn't the
shoestring district extending from way
pack near the Dakota line to the rag
Ing Mississippi know prime article

Heatwole threatened to make the for
eigner pay the tax If he had to stay
UP nights to do 1t. Hasn't he threaten
ed TO buy uniform, a muSket and
canteen and go out and fight the Span
fards to a standstill in three rounds :?
Hasn't he threatened to put the farm
ers of the glorious Third right UP
where they could have a piano and
send their daughters to boarding
school? Hasn't he talked in the Con-
gressional Record and in the Washing
ton hotel Hobbies until red in the face
about what an awful mistake it would
have been If the Republican party had
never been born?
1t must not be forgotten that Mr..

PARSONS LIQUOR BUSINESS.
What His Experience Taught Him
About License Laws.

From the London News.
The Rev Osbert Mordaunt, rector of
Hampton Lucy, Warwickshire, yester-
day told the licensing commission his
experience as sole trustee of a beer
shop under the will of the former rec
tor, who left it to the parish. When
witness became rector he was sorely
exercised as to whether he ought to
keep the public house open: but, feeling
that If he closed the house another
might be opened over which he would
be unable to exercise any control he
came to the conclusion that 1t would
be better for the parish If he ran the
house himself, and consequently for the
last twenty-five years he had done So
He attached the creates, Importance to
the sale of wholesome beer. Com
plants as to adulteration, he believed,
ed, were fewer today than twenty years
ago, and this, he thought, was because
great care had been taken in respect
of the men put into the houses. Drunk
enness In his village had been reduced
to a minimum. The man he put in to
manage the house was generally his
coachman or his gardener-one of hds
own servants. The manager was allow
ed the profits on mineral waters and
eatables sold, but not on beer. No
spirits were served. AS a consequence
of his refusal to sell spirits he was
Of opinion that spirit drinking among
women had practically been abolished.
The profits Of the undertaking nearly

all went to the parish in some shape
OF another. One thing was the provi-
sion of harvest home" feast, which
was enjoyed very much. The turnover
would be about f400 annually, and the
net profit would be about ESQ, which
went to the parish. The house was
kept open for about six hours on Sun
day-the usual public house hours
and he thought it was much too long
sometimes. In his opinion the local
authorities should be given the control
OF public houses on the Gothenburg
system or something similar. He would
lay down the broad principles in an act
Of parliament and let the local au-
thorities apply them as they liked-go
In for prohibition, if they chose. They
would soon learn what was best by ex-
pertinent. He would, however, have
licenses reduced in number Immediately
by one-half or one-third, and provide
compensation to respectable publicans
out OF the profits of the remaining
houses. The important thing was that
managers should not have an interest
In the sale Of drink. AS to the profits
after the compensation had been paid,
he would give them to the hospitals
