a very pleasant talk with him re
gardinE his trip to the coast and re.
turn.
Mr.. O'Shea is graduate OF the
Rush Medical college Of Chicago, He
Is located there and enjoye practice
OF Is years standing.
His principal reason for taking the
trip was to acquaint himself with
the Indians, with their methods Of
living, domestic relations, in fact
their general condition. These ex-
ceeded his expectations. The In
dams in the west live about the
same as white men. They ownfarms
horses, cattle and the like. They are
not generally poor, most all having
a bank account. They are pros
porous set OF people. industrious and
frugal. DR.. O'Shea was in most Of
the western cities, going direct from
Chicago to the Occur d. Aline reserv-
alton in Idaho. He found the In
dams here more civilized than at any
other place. They are as pleasant a
set Of people as one would care to deal
with, very religious and dev0ut.
They have a court of justice and
policemen. II an Indian gets drunk
he Ia sentenced to three days In q
dark cell and is afterwards obliged
to work ten days without pay.
They have peculiar WAYS of dealing
with their sick, and their method OF
burying the dead is queer.
As to some of the western cities.
DR.. O'Shea states that Spokane is
his ideal. He has great hopes for
its future growth. He said this
place was elegant in the extreme.
At Portland business was fair.
Seattle presented somewhat Of a
different appearance. =. Business ia
quite active. DR.. O'Shda had several
talks with people going and coming
from Alaska. Those going to that
far off country seemed very enthusi-
astic, while those who had been
there and returned. would most al
ways say,s,"Well 1 would just us
lief stayed at home" ., -'..,... /
He visited the Yellowstone park
on his return trip. He made the
statement that most of the people
at the park were from the extreme
east while those in it's near vicinity
did not seem to appreciate its won.

OUR SCHOOLS.
A few Remarks about the Com.
mon and Independent
r~.,'ef 81 Districts. ..u ,.,'.'

From the reports handed to Couc.
ty Superintendent Of Schools j. H.
Seal, a few figures and facts were
obtained regarding the number OF
pupils attending and the number OF
instructors teaching in the schools
ut the county. y
The actual number of pupils at
tending school in the Little Falls
independent district in 1898 was
1904, while in Koyalton 226 were en-
rolled.
The number Of scholars receiving
the state apportionment in 1923 in
Little Falls was 1901, to 1904 last
year, Royalton had 1877 receiving
state money IN 1898 to-l92 in 1897.
A pupil to receive appropriated
money from the state is obliged to
attend school 40 days or more out Of
a school year. The cause Of the de.
crease in the number Of pupils re-
ceiving money in Little Falls was
the starting Of the Parocllinl school
which took a great number OF
scholars away from the public
schools.
The number OF teachers employed
in the Little Falls schools this year
was "a to % in 1897. The Royalton
corps consisted Of S both years.
The total number Of scholars
dra wing apportionment money in
Morrison county last year was 4, PIG
Twenty.six male and ninety-three
female teachers were employed
throughout the county in 1888. The
average monthly wages OF male
teachers was $35 and that of the fe-
males $29.
The number Ut high school gradu.
ates teaching in the county vast.
normal graduates, 3.
The number of teachers teaching
continuously In the same district for
three or more years was :; for two
years, 6, and those who taught only
one year was AZ.
The total enrolment for the en-
tire county last year was 1876; this
year, 5,2O7. The scholars have
made, on the whole, gratifying
progress and more teachers are at
tending the normal schools every
year. The proximity of the st.
Cloud normal school gives thu m an
excellent chance 81 improving them
selves educational)y, which insures
to the benefit Of the rural scholars.

DERBY TO NEW HAVEN.

The Cycle Path Seems to be Unsatis-
 factory-Wheelme to Consider the
 Subject.
 Waterbury, Nov. 10.-The wheelmen's S committee who have had charge of the work of construction of the cycle path between New Haven and Derby have refused to accept the work. Tuesday morning Judge Munger and Alderman Bowen of Derby met MT Murphy of New Haven, who represents the New Haven Concrete company, and Engin- eer Sanford, who made the plans for the path MT. Sanford did not approve the work done, and the wheelmen's S committee, who have investigated the work, have found, they say, that the measurements show that the required amount of gravel and stone h2s not been used The committee have refus- ed to pay any money to the contractors until the work is approved, and meet ing of the Derby wheelmen who have contributed toward the path has been called in Ansonia for Friday night The condition of the track will be investi- gated and a full report of the whole matter will be laid before the wheelmen for their action. The New Haven wheelnen who have contributed toward the path will also be invited to take some action in the matter. The path has not been entirely completed, as the work was waiting for money to extend it to New Haven.

The storm which struck here yester- day morning about 7'oclock continued all the day and evening and bid fair to continue much longer. The school had only one session.

A REe1srER or oLp LONDON.

Although our British metropolis has been greatly improved during the last half-century, both as regards sanitation and architectural beauty, the cost in the loss of many picturesque features and buildings of historic interest, has been very great. Builders, speculators, vestries and those who have to do with this exchange of new things for old rather pride themselves upon having no sentimental feeling about relics of past times and past phases of life, and these have too often been swept away with
 out regret Happily this will be so no longer. Some years ago the late Will
 liam Morris organized society to pro- tect ancient buildings, and in connec- tion with this society committee was appointed for the purpose of compiling a registrar of old things worth preserv- ing, and beauty-spots liable to be de-

ly through the action of the sea waves. Close to the main rock, and With deep water between them, lies @ dangerous reef, exposed at low tide, known as Hazlewood Rock; while mile and a half southeast lies another similar rock known as Helen's Reef, from a vessel of that name whose wreck upon it first made it known. That Rockall belongs, politically speaking, to Brit tain, is a fact never likely to be dis puted; for not only does 1t lie nearer to the British Isles than to any other land, but none except British fisher men have ever systematically resort ed thither to fish.
 Yet Rockall is certainly no part of the British Isles, speaking strictly and in physiographical sense; for, while all the other islands lying adjacent to Britain, except the Faroes, lie well within what is known as the l0O- fathom contor line, including even St. Kilda, the nearest land, Rockall and the bank surrounding it are separated from Britain by sea giving soundlngs of from HOO to 1,600 fathoms-depths which are truly oceanic and which in- dicate that the period when dry land communication existed between Rock all and Britain Qf, indeed, it ever did SOL must have been immensely re- mCte, even as the geologist reckons time. That is to say, man with legs 100 fathoms long could easily wade out to any other of the islands surround ing Britain, but to get to Rockall he would require legs sixteen times as long.-The London Graphic.
