NOTES OF INTEREST.

There are 5000 cells in n square foot
Of honeycomb.
The greatest variation of the Their
mometer in the United States has been
noted at Fort Buford, n. ID. In 1888 the
mercury rose to 107; in 1883 it fell to 40
below zero. This is a variation of 1855
degrees.
A 12-inch shell fred from one Of the
American battlcships during the block

while being handled at Santiago, de-
molishing building and killing three
persons.
Hawks have been seen to follow in
the wake of moving railway train, to
swoop down on small birds that were

a German doctor has discovered how
to fool leech. When the animal has
filed itself with blood, the doctor
makes an incision in its side and per-
mits the blood to run out. The leech
continues to suck, and does double
work, perhaps wondering at its great
increase of appetite.
An organized effort is being made TO
stamp out consumption in Germany
by scientific methods of treatment. Al
ready 20 sanatoria for patients have
been opened, and others are to be pro-

DROP LOWER CLASSES.
The Normal Board Adopts the Recon-.
mendati0n of the Committee.

At the meeting of the normal school
board Friday in ST. Paul, it was deci.
ded to abolish the whole elementary de-
partment of the normal schools This
department accommodates about 46 per
cent of the entire attendance. The go
classes were also cut out. Hereafter
only graduates of graded schools or
those having a corresponding fund of
facts will be entered at the normal
schools of the state. The report of the
committee besides dropping the CO.
classes, recommended that persons
holding teachers certificates of the Sec
ond grade who shall have taught in any
public school in this state with ability
and success for the term of six months
should be permitted to take special
work in the normal schools of this state,
and should be admitted to said schools
without examination for the purpose of
doing said special work. That the
presidents of the several schools should
revise their course of study so as to pro-
vide for standard of admission in &C
cordance with the above. and for such
extension of the courses of study as
shall give professional training OF the
highest order, and academical training
which shall supplement the scholastic
work done in the high schools of this
state" This report was adopted by the
board with only one dissenting voice.
The abolishing of the three year ele-
mentafy course will bring the normal
course up to four years.

The Losses.
removed.

The National Citizens bank owns the
north half of the building, and the
Meagher heirs the south half. The up
per story is so badly burned that all
except the front rooms will have to be
rebuilt. 1t is the intention to rebuild
it on a more modern plan than it was
before, and to make desirable suites of
offices, with an outside iron stairway.
The loss to the building is estimated
at 81, 900. The bank carries $4,000 in
surance on it's half and $500 on fixtures,
while the Meagher heirs carry So, 900 on
their half and $500 on fixtures.
A. M. Stein, who occupies the south
lower store room with large stock of
clothing, is the heaviest loser. His
stock was valued at $4,000, and
was insured for 100000. His loss is es.
timated at $1,000, due to water and
smoke. 1t was necessary to drown out
the fire above, and large quantities of
water soaked down through the ceiling.
Miss Kurth's loss is practically COM
plete, and may be as high as $500. Her
goods were insured. The next two
rooms on the south side of the hallway
were vacant, and Attorney G. o. Daley
occupied the front room as his Office.
His law books were mostly removed,
but his wardrobe and other property
were saturated with smoke, and his loss
will probably reach 5000 to $500, cover
ed by insurance.
The front rooms on the north side of the
hallway are occupied by Thomas and
Evan Hughes. This room escaped al
most entirely, except for water and
smoke, and they may not have to move
out. They estimate the damage to
their extensive law library and other
property at $4OO, with $500 insurance
M. B. Haynes also has his office there.
The next room was leased by Justice
Daniel Buck and contained some books
and papers. These were damaged about
$50 with no insurance.

A Dead Man Brought to Life.

In Paris recently man was revived
whose heart had actually stopped beat
ing. A daring surgeon cut through the
dead mans ribs, grasped his heart, set
the blood in circulation, and the man
breathed, opened his eyes and lived. 1t
is probable, however, that the rally
will be of short duration, although this
detracts not at all from the miraculous
nature of the deed. If he had kept his
bowels regular disease could not have
attacked him. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is natures strongest ally. When
her laws have been repeatedly disre-
garded, when tired stomach has been
abused until indigestion, constipation
and biliousness are the result, then the
Bitters proves its efficacy 1t cannot
be equalled Your doctor would be the
first to recommend it.

STEPHEN LAMM LEADS.
Will Place Fire Escape on His Three.
Story Building.

Stephen Lamm will place an outside
iron fire escape on the rear of his three
story building in block fourteen. He
had determined to do this even before
he was served with a notice from the
city. The third floor of the building is
used as lodge hall.
Mr.. Lamm's example should be fol-
lowed by the owners of other three
story buildings that have lodge halls on
the third floor. The most of them
would prove regular traps IN case of
fire, for should flames or smoke cut off
the one stairway there would be no
choice left but to leap out of the win
dows. This matter of providing fire es-
capes is too important a one to be al
lowed to be evaded, as recent examples
in other cities have shown. A great
responsibility rests upon the owners of
these buildings. especially as the law
says that they shall provide means of
escape to be used in case of fire. A
few dollars is nothing compared to the
safety of human life.
Great credit is due to Mr.. Lamm for
leading in this matter.

SUNSHINE.

The last regular lecture of the Citi.
zens Lecture course Was given Thurs
day night, by DR.. Willets, his subject
being Sunshine. The lecture was
very fine one, bristling all through
with good points He said that happy
beaming face was much more welcome
than long, sad looking one, and that
one should cultivate the spirit of happi-
ness by doing good to others There
are many trivial things he said that
could be done without discommoding
oneself to any great extent, which
would do much to relieve the burdens
of others. The lecture abounded with
witticisms and auecdote in illustration,
which kept his audience in the best of
humor, while its whole trend was an ap-
peal for broader and higher ideal in
living. On the whole it was one of the
best lectures of the course.
