Praise for American Schools.

pr. Krohn. a prominent educator, a graduate of Yale. and who has studied in France, Germany. Austria, Italy and England, says that he is firmly con- yinced that the system of public schools in this country is far in ad- vance of all other nations, but that our system has too much forcing and unless much care is exercised in that regard it will tell on the children. He further says that precocity, unless carefully guarded and directed, is aI- most as dangerous as imbeciIity.

William E. Glandstone, England's grand old man, used to make political speeches in queer places. In fact, it was he who initiated the custom of speaking from railroad trains. He poured out his political principles at the mouths of tunnels, on the tops of mountains-notably his adventures in Midlothian-at pit mouths and deep down in the bowels of the earth. on hay stacks, in chapels, once in a Con- gregstional church and frequently on board ship.

Envelopes Passe.

Among the ultra fashionables of New York, tue mucilaged envelope has suc- eumbed to sealing wax. wafers, and folded paper. This necessitates writ ing on big sheet, and it also requires some deftness ill the folding of the paper. Of course. the manufacturers are always ahead of the styles. and for that reason the daintiest little waf- CTS can be found to match the envel- opes-for that is the strictly correct point to be observed about the fad.

Mice That Manufacture Thread.

A Scottish artisan has conceived the ingenious and economic idea of em- ploying mice in the manufacture of thread. The small quadrupeds are made to turn wheel with their feet, and in this manner, and by means of 8 simple mechanical contriyance, they are able to make about 2,800 reels of 1S7 yards each daily To produce this quantity it is estimated that they cover a course of 1s.Oo0 yards.

Adaptibility of the Rat.

Let's take a look at our unweleoms guest, the rat, Does he reason? I'm sure he does. Laying aside the more or less probable yarns about his get #ting molasses from a jug with his tail and other stories. here are some facts: Modern builders and househotders have fought the rat and tried to de- pr. him of food and shelter in the land fere he was born and where he may consider that he has some rights to life. liberty and the pursuit of hap piness.
 They have put Instructions in the way of the rat that might have dis couraged our feeble native black fel- tow, who was driven to the wilderness years ago by the formidable brown Norway" rat, which is now resident In every land where ships go. He is the "fttest,9 and he fit" all other rats out of business. He is sagacious and can reason; living example of physical courage and brain power. He knows no instipetive routine life, such as a bee leads and rats rise superior to their environment at any time when the environment proves to be a misft, says a writer in Forest and Stream.
 The brown rat like the old sailor, has adapted himself to steel ships and is at home in them, but it is in the cities that he gets in his fine work on gas fittings, lead pipe, cement floors, and brick drains. He chews cement floors in the weakest places and taps lead pipe for water Sewer rats" have achieved a reputation on parallel slin( y#ith sanitary plumbing, and un- tder New York end of the Brook lyn B 7ge rats are earning 8 frigid living n the cold storage warehouses and sharpening their teeth on frozen fish and game where a mans breath will turn to snow on summers day. He is enough of a philosopher to take life as he finds it; he is a genuine "man of the world" ;"
 As the burglar keeps abreast of the safemaker, so the intelligent rat steps to the march of civilization and cold storage. This is not einstinet;" it is the result of thought, and thought i'm plies reason.

a QUEER PROCEEDING.
Charles Wise, of Portland Attempts to
File Homestead on The Dalles

TownsiIe
Thursday morning man attiredIin a
policeman's uniform, and accompanied
by the look of authority that usually
goes with such make up, entered the
United States land Office at this place
and filed an application for home
stead entry on the west half of the
northwest quarter of section three and
the east half CT the northwest quarter
of section four, township one north,
range thirteen east.
On looking at the maps, Mr.. Lucas,
register of the land office, found that
the man with the uniform was attempt
ing to squat on part of the townsite of
The Dalles. The line begins at a
point near the Columbia, short dis
tanee east of the Umatilla House, and
runs one.half miie south, then west
the same distance, then north one. half
mile, thence east to the place of be-
ginning, taking in the land on which
the greater part of the Sest end of
town and the o. r. & N, shops are
built.
The man gave his name as Charles
Wise, of Portland, and was identified
ty G. Il. Downs who is thought to be
playing second fiddle in the deal.
Mr.. Lucas looked into the matter
and as there seems to be a clear title
to the deed rejected the application
this afternoon.
The attention of the board of land
commissioners nay be called to the
matter, and if Mr. Wise has a right to
take up the above described property
he will be notified 20 that effect.
There is little fear that the .Umatilla
House the company shops or other
buildings on this land will have to be
moved to new locations on account of
his attempted entry.

TENEMENT-HousE FIRES.

Insurance Fntrol Works for the Poor
ns Well rs the Insured.
At fires in the homes of the poor these
detachments of the patrol work just
as earnestly and conscicntiously to save
property as they would in the expen-
sively furnished mansions of the rich.
At tenement house fires they are OF
great service. First they aid in getting
the people out; then, gathering the
goods together, the patrolrieD protect
them from water with tarpaulin covers.
The majority of these fires break out in
the easements or cellars; then, follow
ing the air and light shafts to the top
floor, they spread, and do the greatest
damage in the upper stories. To ex-
tinguish these fires, the other floors be-
low have to be flooded, and were it not
for the fire patrol in many cases the
poor families would lose every thing
they owned.
One of the captains of the patrol re
marked: "Why, it would do your heart
good if you could hear how profuse
these poor people are in their thanks,
and the blessings they shower on us
when they find we've saved their things.
They go running around, wringirg
their hands and crying: 'Everything's
lost! Everything's lost!' and then,
when the fire is out, we lead them back
and show them their things, as dry as
chip under the covers, and-we,l, say
there isn't anything they wouldn't do
for us Half the time they're not in
sured, and it isn't our business to pro-
tect people who are not; but we're not
supposed to know everything and our
orders are to protect property first and
find out whether it is insured after
wards; and it is not our fault if we save
the little all of a lot of poor creatures
who half the time haven't a change of
clothes to their back. You bet, we get
to work just as quick in tenement
house fire as in big house on Fifth
avenue, and we do the same work in
both places, no matter whether it's for
the rich or the poor. 7. Hill,

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
An Appeal to the Citizens for Aid i'm
Erecting the Same

An Appeal to the Citizens for Aid in
Erecting the Same.
Hon. w. L. Brads haw, of,this city,
has been appointed manager of the
soldiers monument fund for this county
and will. as soon as possible, appoint
committees to go to the citizens of
Wasco county, in person, to solicit
funds to erect the monument to the
brave Oregon boys who lost their lives
In the recent war. The following ex-
tract from the Oregonian, of short
time ago. will give clear idea of the
workings cf the monument committee
ITO the Citizens of Oregon: When
our Country demanded the services of
citizens in upholding the honor of the
Hae, none responded more prom mptly or
more earnestly than did the young
men of Oregon. As they marched
away they were our pride, and carried
with them our love and admiration.
When the regiment returns many who
marched away will not be in the ranks:
they died in the service of their coun-
try.
Let US at once erect a monument in |
memory of those who have died. Let
US have it completed so that when the
soldiers return they can assist in the
of dedication.
The soldiers monument committee
has been organized TO take this work
10 hand. A leading citizen from each
county IN the state has been placed on
,he committee. Each county will be
lnder the management of the commit.
eeman from that county.
sit is the aim of the organization to
make this work popular by placing the
within the reach of all.
There will be local solicitor in each
,recinct or school district, selected by
he county committeeman. where per-
ons can leave their name and cash
md have it forwarded to the secretary
# the committee. Each person con-
ributing % cents will receive by mail
copy of the monument edition of a
ew unique history, we'll worth the
money. Everyone can afford to sub
cribe 25 cents for worthy cause"
