Beginning September 18th, new form of
post office money order will be brought into
use at the local post office. 1t will be great

about il 1t is simple demonstrabe
fact which you can prove to your own
satisfaction Ia a very few minutes.
IL you will take any pavement that is
clear OF other pedestrians. so that there
shall be no interference and walk brisk
~ IN the center, you will find that be-
lore you have gone a hundred yards
you VIII have veered very much to one
slde. You must not make any conscious
EFFORT, of course, to keep to the center,
or you may do it; but if you will think
OF something. and endeavor to walk
naturally it is hundred to one you
can not keep a direct line.
The explanation of this lies in the pc
culiarity of one foot to walk faster than
the other. Or, to be more correct, per-
hapS it should be said that one leg
takes a longer stride than the other,
and this, combined with the quicker
movement, causes one to walk more to
one side than the other.
1t is well known, for instance. that if
one is lost in the woods, the tendency is
to walk in circle and eventually to re-
turn to about the starting point. This
demonstrates the fact that one foot
walks faster than the other.
You can try an interesting expert
ment in this way if you will place two
stakes in the lawn about eight feet
apart, and then stand off about so feet.
allow yourself to be blndfolded, and
endeavor to walk between them. You
will find it an almost impossible task,
because one foot will go a bit faster
than the other. either to the right or
left. Now, which one of your feet
walks faster than the other?

A KING ON EDUCATION.
Newly Discovered and Interesting Letter
of Frederick the Great.


Professor Beyschlay of Berlin has
just brought to light remarkably in
| teresting letter by Frederick the Great,
on the subject of education The let
ter of the famous king is addressed to
Minister Won Zedltz, and it contains
the monarch's views on logic rhetoric
and the ancien. languages.
| Logic" writes the king, must be
studied thoroughly, even in the schools
of the small towns, for only in this way
can the children of the rising genera
ton learn how to conduct their bust
ness and private affairs with good
sense and prudence. Logic should be
studied by persons of all ranks, since
there is no one who will not find it use-
full. In the case of children it would
be advisable to change the present
method of instruction and to use text
| books that are not quite SO advanced.
In regard to philosophy, my opinion is
that under no circumstances should it
be taught by clergy, but solely by lay
men. 1t seems 10 me as homogeneous
to have clergymen teach philosophy as
to have lawyers teach military men the
art of war. Teachers of philosophy
should instruct their pupils in all the
known systems. and should above all
refrain from formulating any new sys-
TENS of their own.
Young people must also learn Latin
to use the easiest and Rest method Of
instruction. Even if they become mer-
chants, or expand their energy in any
other direction 20 which their genius
may incite them, the- VIII find Latin
very useful and time is sure to come
when they will be able to turn their
! knowledge of it to advantage. The
works of the classical authors must all
be translated into German, so that
young people may obtain an adequate
idea Of their contents; otherwise they
will learn the words WE'LL but they will
remain ignorant of the authors real
meaning.
1T is also advisable that school
teachers throughout the country shall
teach religion and morals to young peO-
pie; indeed, they must thoroughly in
struct them in these things until they
have raised them to such a Standard
that they will no longer think of steal
ing or of committing murder. Of course,
there will continue to be thefts, since
human nature is weak in this direction,
and this is especially true of persons
who are placed in charge of large sums
of money. and who thus have excep-
tional opportunities to become thieves"
Even these brief extracts from his
letter show that Frederick the Great
was not only a distinguished warrior
and statesman, but was also a good
student of human nature. The letter
also shows-and for this reason it is
especially interesting-tha he had at
heart the real welfare of his people,
and that even on such subject as
school education he had pronounced
views of his own. and was not slow to
express them.-New York Herald.

TO TAKE A FALL OUT Of EN-
Insurance Rates Are Destined to
Come Down a Peg.
THEY'VE BEEN TOO STIFF
Now the Cheering Information Is Abroad
That the Underwriters Will Yield
to Popular Demand and
Shave Off a Bit.

Since the organization of the Pacific
Board of Underwriters the insurance
business in Montana has been moving
along very smoothly and the compan-
les have been charging rates that drew
protests from every person who has had
to pay them. Now, however, there is
a possibility of cut in rates, in fact
rumors have reached Butte Of the pos
sibilities of regular slashng war
AT present the Pacific Coast Board
of Underwriters control most of the
insurance of this coast It has the
greater number of the large companies
on this list, and the companies be-
longing to it are bound to have dealings
only with the Other members of the
compact. But there is a sufficient num-
Der Of companies who have not joined
the compact to maintain a continual
menace to the plans and rates and
commissions of the compact companies,
and they have grow to be a thorn in
the side of the more powerful organ
iZation. The companies on the outside
are not bound to keep up rates, and so
as a rule they make rates for them
selves just little below those of the
compact companies and increased bust
ness is the result.
The board has at various times Of
fered inducements to the outside COM
panies to come into the fold says the
San Francisco Call. but there are GER
tain rules of the board. principally one
relating to city agents which have
proved Objectionable The board is
bound by rules which suit the coast
but not exactly the local conditions,
and so the idea is now being put forth
that the local companies should get to-
gether and form the san Francisco Fire
Insurance Exchange, a body to be gov
erned in accordance With the needs and
conditions of city business.
To this end the work of the board
during it's late session has been mainly
directed and many CT the rules adopted
have been with a view to strengthen
the new organization. They have in
the first place decided to curtail the
number of men doing business as in
surance men, but who have taken it
up as side issue. There are many
real estate firms who transact a small
insurance business on the side, and
there are many more who. controlling
insurable property, farm out the poll
cies to whoever will give the highest
commission. 1t is the intention to stop
such work as far as possible.
The question of city agents has also
been given much argument, ana also
the propriety of allowing one Office to
have both board and non-board COM
panies under its control. Other ques-
tons on rates and rebates and commits
sions have been under discussion. and
all with a view TO this new organize
ton which is contemplated.
The board companies. it is under
stood. will be willing to come down to
the rates and the commissions charged
and paid by the nOn-board companies,
and they will make other concessions
