Teachers and Parents.

An exchange gives the following
good advice to parents: Before you
listen to the complaints of your child
rem about the fiendishness of the
teachers, and get all worked up and
excited over it, it is better to reflect a
little. Remember your one or half
dozen cherubs drive you crazy about
half the time and bear for the teacher
who is making for you intelligent
men and women of as promising ma
terial as you were twenty or thirty
years ago. Remember that besides
your own boy, who, of course, every
body knows is an angel, she has to
contend with that awful boy of your
neighbors, and you know full well
what terror he is"

Fourteen Mistakes.

An English paper gives a list OF
what it terms "the ID mistakes OF
life." While there are undoubtedly 9th
er mistakes than those mentioned. the
list is fairly comprehensive one.
It is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
judge people accordingly; to measure
the enjoyment of others by our own;
to expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to mold
all dispositions alike; to look for per-
lection in our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what can
not be remedied; not to yield IN imma-
terial matters; not to alleviate ali that
needs alleviation as far as lies In our
power: not to make allowances for the
infrmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form; to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything.
And the last and greatest mistake OF
all is to live for time alone, when any
moment may launch us into eternity.

A DRUMMER selling school supplies
was through here recently trying to
interest the local authorities in varl-
GUS kinds of scientific apparatus OF
no use to anyone. He made no sales
here but told of the lalge sales of air
pumps, Atwood's machines, etc., that
he had made at other places. This
money would have done more good ii
invested in some simple manual train
ing apparatus, and yet few school
directors have yet seen the wisdom
of such a move. But expensive and
useless scientific apparatus with a
smooth agent to sell it will ordinarily
catch the school director. We would
not be understood to disparage the
purchase Of scientific apparatus but
only su,h expensive machines as have
no place in a high school laboratory

On THURSDAY there came 10 oul
table the Jubilee Edition of the st
Paul Pioneer Press. The eoltlon
eclipses all former efforts in the Jour-
nalistic line in Minnesota, for besioes
being of immense size, its articles are
all of high literary merit. MOI only
the growth and development OF Mln-
pesota is dealt with, but broad out
look is taken over advancement IN
the whole field of human activity
during the last fifty years. Inc
Pioneer Press has long since become
an integral part of life in Minnesota
and in extending congratulations for
the present, The TRIBUNE would also
wish it's metropolitan contempory the
same prosperity and usefulness which
has been its lot in the past.

GARRET A. HOBART.

The serious illness of Vice Pres
ident Hobart has caused a great deal
of anxiety, and there is universal
hope for marked improvement in his
condition. His position as vice-pres
ident and also as leader in eastern
politics makes him a man of high
standing, not only at his home in
New Jersey but in other portions OF
the East.
Garret A. Hobart was born in
Monmouth county, N. j., in June
1874, entered the sophomore class OF
Rutgers College in 1860 and gradua-
ted in 1868 at the age of 19. He
taught school for a while, and then
entered the law office of Socrates
TuttIe, of Paterson, N. j.; was ad-
mitted to the bar IN 1869, and COM
menced the practice of law in Mr..
Tuttle's office. He entered the legis-
lature in 1874, was made speaker in
1876, He was elected to the senate
in 1879, in 1881 was made president
of that body, and was re elected in
1882. He was a delegate at large to
the Republican national convention
in 1876, and again in 1880. He serv-
ed as member Of the national COM
mittee continuously from 1884 until
1896, when he was nominated for vice
president, and, having been duly
elected, he took the oath of office on
March 4, 1897.

Omcers and Sailors Of the Navy FIRE.

"The officers and sailors Of the navy
are frequent sufferers from seasick-
ness, even after they have got their
sea legs on" observed naval surgeon
to a reporter. Indeed / think I can
safely say that, young and old, one
third of the entire navy officers as well
as men are seasick during storms as
well as at other times. In theory naval
officers and sailors are entirely free
from such so called weakness, but, In
fact, they have stomachs and are suf-
ferers at times the same as the rest
Of humanity.
"The sailor In this respect has many
advantages over the naval officers and
is less sensitive to seasickness for the
reason that he seldom has what Is
called shore duty to perform, and he
is on the ship all the time, barring
the days of now and then Of liberty.
When an officer, it Is entirely different,
for he seldom has to spend as much
time on the ship as he does on shore.
The three years sea duty are generally
followed by three years shore duty,
during which time his sea legs and
stomach entirely disappear and have
to be built up again.
SIT is rare that an officer on return
to sea duty does not have to go
through all the painful and distressing
experiences Of his first seasickness,
and am not sure but each recurrence

Straw as a Fertilizer.

The farmer who neglects to Utilize
the old straw, manure and other fer
tilizers that gather about a farm is
as foolish as one who would refuse
to pick up money in the middle of
the road. A farm of 100 acres will
naturally produce enough fertilizer
to renew the strength of the soil on
20 acres every year, and there is nc
labor about the farm that will bring
as speedy and profitable returns as
that in caring for aud properly dis

"OFF YEAR" elections were held in
thirteen states on Tuesday with the
result that the administration was
overwhelmingly endorsed. ALI of the
states except Nebraska returned lar
ger Republican majorities than had
ever been the case in years preceding
presidential years. In Iowa and
Massachusetts it was a clean cut
fight on the expansion policy of the
administration and in these states the
Republicans won out by $4,000 and
$1,000. Neither the Republican vic
tory in Kentucky nor the Democra-
tic victory in Maryland signify any
thing as to next year, as national
election would no doubt give Bryan
majority in Kentucky as it would
Mckinley in Maryland. In Ohio,
both of the straight tickets we're
handicapped, the Democrats by hav-
ing for their candidate man whose
money barrel was his chief recon-
mendation, and the Republicans by
the personal unpopularity of Senator
Hanna with one faction of the party.
What the result means as far as the
national chairmanship is concerned,
it is hard to say at this time, but the
amount Of prejudice which can be
worked upon account of Chairman
Hanna by the opposition is certainly
deserving of attention from party
leaders.

Notwithstanding that the degree of S.
P. c. was conferred on sixty candidates
last night. Grand Chief Ranger j.

der at 10 o'clock. The grand officers
submitted their annual reports. The
question of biennial sessions was taken
up and provoked an extended discus
sion. The vote was: Ayes. III; noes,

vOr the question was lost and the
Grand Court will meet again next year.

of entertaining the Grand Court next
time. The advantages of four places
We're set forth, but that city won from
Chico, Petaluma and San Francisco.
In the afternoon the election of offi-
GERS took place, with the following re-
suits: Grand chief ranger, Judge j.
w. Hughes, Sacramento; grand sub
chief ranger, Hugo K. Asher, San Fran
cisco; grand treasurer, Frank Conklin,

H. A Gabriel, Santa Clara (by ac
clamation); DR.. George PasChe, Los
Angeles; E. Lampe, San Francisco. The
only contests were on the election of
Junior beadle and trustees.
An adjournment was taken until 9
o'clock tomorrow. The first business
to come up in the morning is the cleo
tion of supreme representatives. These
are the most coveted offices and there
are thirty or more candidates, with
thirteen to be elected. 1t is impossible
to forecast the result. The several can
didates have all they can do to keep
their fences in repair. Combinations
are made, only to be broken in an hour.
In many respects the scenes around the
hotels and clubs remind one of political
conventions. However, every one is
gOOd-natured and those who will be
defeated tomorrow are prepared to
make graceful submission.
The remaining business to be tran
ton of resolutions heretofore intro
duced. There are several proposed
amendments to the constitution to be
acted upon. One is to elect officers by
secret instead of open ballot. The spe-
cial committee to consider the placing
of State organizers in the field will
probably submit report.
This evening Senator E. 1. Wolfe de-
livered an address on the benefits of
