citizens are we rearing into whose hands
must shortly come the sacred interests
OF State and Nation when our children
respect property only when it is their
own. May we not use free text books
to instil into the mind and heart Of
Young America that the States be-
longings are our tenderest care.
Ladies OF the Federation, should
there be any OF you who feel that you
have not entirely mastered the school
laws Of Nebraska in the few moments
allotted to this subject, allow me- to
remind you there is precedent for
those who do not stick to the text-slso
that in this community We are taught
that the source method is ever the
reliable one. The school laws are pub
lished in pamphlet form by the State
Superintendent Of Public instruction
aud feel sure, will be cheerfully furn-
nished to any club woman desiring to
inform herself on this subject.
The subject, THE Public Schools of
Nebraska" was discussed by several
speakers. Mrf. Minnie s. Cline Of Min
den, spoke from a mothers standpoint.
and thought mothers should give more
sympathy to the school work Of their
children. Miss Bertha Bloomingdale OF
Syracuse took the teachers standpoint.
She was introduced as the only teacher
in the state who bad also served as
president of woman's club.
Miss Charlotte NJ. White of Wayne,
spoke Of the schools from county su-
psrinte ndent's standpoint. Miss White
spoke without notes and in forcible,
pithy sentences that won the admira-
ton of the audience. She withdrew on
the expiration OF the time allowed her.
but was enthusiastically called back-a
mark of approval bestowed on no other
speaker-and gave one more short story.
Miss White has been county superin-
tendent for six years. She said that
children should be taught the power to
think logically. She advocated no orna-
mental studies, but said reading. arith-
metic. English and geography should
be taught thoroughly and the pupils
would learn morals through the consci-
entiousness and thoroughness Of the
teachers work. She declaaed her .aith
in the teachers of Nebraska and said
IF the mothers had the confidence OF
the children, the teachers will do the
rest. The few incompetent teachers
soon drop out. They spend their money
on new hats and get married.
The subject was lastly viewed from
the schoolboard standpoint by Mrs.
Harriet S Towne of Omaha. She dis
Gu ssed the subject humorously, and told
of some of the reasons why men seem 30
anxious to serve on schoolboards.
Young men seem to regard it as an in
PRODUCTION to business circles. as an OPP
portunity to confer benefits and as a
means Of profit through contracts.
With the awakening Of the social con.
science she thought improvement would
come. She closed by saying the school
boards have in their hands the future OF
the children, the homes and the state.
Mrs. Stoutenborough spoke in place
Of Octave Thanet, and she accepted in
order to present the plan for a state
travelling library which she wishes a.
tlopted by the legislature, the details OF

ed the establishment OF an industrial
department in the Nebraska Federation
Of Women's Clubs. Many OF the in
dustrial clubs have already earnestly
taken up this matter. The growing
interest in this department Of women's
clubs all over the country manifested
by the enthusiasm at the National
Economic Association which met in
Toronto, October 2od, Bird and 4th the
delegates included representative WON

woman's laws in property rights. They
found that men as well as women, &C
knowledged the need OF change in these
laws. She asked whether the club had
enough interest in the matter to revive
the efforts to secure better legislation.
On motion Of Mrs. Hartford. the club
voted unanimously to continue the COM
mittee and pledged its support. Mrs.
Draper Smith who offered an enter
tanning account Of the biennial Cele-
brities," was greeted with great ap-
plause, this being her first appearance
before the club as the newly elected
state president. Mrs. F.. F. Ford's
paper on reorganization was read by
Mrs. Towne, and was received with an
that denoted the place Mrs.
Ford holds in the hearts Of club women.

Producers of Now Cooks.

According to a recent writer, Great
britain produces fewer than third of
the number of new books published
by Germany, not many MORE than
half of the new books produced by
Franco, aud considerably under The
total produced by Italy. The num-
bers given are: Germany, $4,000
new books per year; France, $4,000;
Italy, $500; Great Britain, 1900;
United States, $500; Netherlands,
$500. If, however, England is thus
low in the general production of new
books, she leads in the production of
novels, heading the list with 243S.
Germany leads in educational works
with 5442, arts and sciences with

ELECTRICITY IN CHURCHES.
The Most Modern Appliances Brought
Into Use in These Edlfices.


Electricity is put to various uses in
churches; in no other buildings in
fact it is more commonly employed.
In this city all new churches are pro.
vided with electrical equipment; and
many old churches, also, have been
similarly equipped, The same is
substantially true of all cities and
towns in which there are to be found
electric plants. Some churches have
complete plants Of their own on the
premises, but the greater number take
The current from the street main.
Besides its use for lighting rur-
poses electricity is commonly en-
ployed in churches for running a
motor to operate the organ bellows.
This motor can be set in motion, or
stopped, by the organist as he sits in
his place at the keyboard, simply by
the turning of switch; and, in opera
lion, it accommodates itself to the
demands upon it. running slower
when the bellows is full, and faster
again, as it is emptied.
In the newer churches-and such
appliances have also been put into
older churches-the organ itself is
provided with electrical appliances by
means of which the valves of the orr
gan pipes are opened. Formerly this
vas done by means OF mechanical ap.
oliances that were operated by the
pressing down OF the key. Now, each
key is connscte by a wire with the
valve OF the pipe to which it belongs,
aud when a key is pressed down its
wire is brought into contact with a
supply wire running along under the
keyboard, the circuit is closed, and
oy means of the power thus. trans
nitted along the wire from the key
he valve is opened. 1t is, of course,
Kept open until the contact is broken
oy the release of the key. Organs
set up in separate sections in church
are connected by wire in the same
manner and readily played from the
same keyboard; and the new organs,
however situated in a church, are now
likely to be provided with electrical
keyboards.
Church chimes are now played by
electricity from a keyboard like that
of piano or organ. at which the
player sits with the music before him.

Tho Youthful Essayist.

Among the gems Of general knowl-
edge which sometimes serve to illu-
mine the dull routine Of elementary
education the following Essay on St.

from the vicinity Of a Church Of Eng

writes: I'VE have heard that ST.

how to make the steam engin. He
first made the puf1n-Billy and many

Nave Thsn Tattoosd to Avoid the Risk

Marking children for the purposes

women are making handsome sums Of
money by operating upon them and
their elders. 1t seems as Il this fad
Tor disnguring the beautiful skin Of the
body has taken too firm a hold upon
the moneyed class. to die away until
everybody Of note has been marked.
Then some fine day a restless tickle
fancied beauty will discover that she
has tired Of features Of the man she
thought she loved when they were
ground into her white flesh, and sud
denly UP will spring small army OF
skilled operators who will pick out the
Objectionable marks and charge a
pretty penny for the job. The fad will
gradually die out. but the value Of
tattocing will never be disputed as
long as abduction occupies the atten-
tion Of the wicked. Hosts Of children
could be lost and never traced because
they have no distinguishing marks, not
even moles, whose location could be re-
membered. The tattooed places need
not be large or ugly, but they should
be unique to fully answer their pur-
pose. Owing to the use OF cocaine
very little pain goes with the opera
