Vegetables and Education.

City boys ana girls who never have
seen growing cabbage, pumpkins, corn,
potatoes, spinach and other garden
produce soon may have an opportunity
to supply the deficiency in their educa-
ton. The Schoolteachers' club of Chi
cago asked the West park board the
other day to set aside three or four
acres in one of the parks where vege-
tables may be raised by the school
children. says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Frank E. Tremain is at the head Of the
movement. The teachers think this
will be a great advantage for young
children who think that grasshoppers
make grass and that butterflies make
butter. There are many children, they
say, who believe that potatoes grow on
bushes and who do not know whether
watermelons come from the water
works or grow on trees. Yet these
same children can find the common
denominator Of things and recite the
multiplication table up to times Z.

was born in Pratsburg, Talbot county
Georgia, March %, 1865; and died in
Dawson, Ga, March Both 1900. After
.ae death Of her mother, her aunt,
Mrs. M. NJ. Harvey of Buena Vista

was married to H. O. Crouch of Daw-

The testimony of those who knew her
we'll is that she was a devoted christ
ian and active worker in the Sunday

church work. She poessed great energJ
and what her hands found to do she
did it with her might. She was warm
hearted and genial in her disposition,
and pOessed that indetfnable quality
called personal magnetism. She was
sick and confined to bed for three
months, but during the whole of
her long sickness she was Cheerful
and buoyed up with the hope of get
ting we'll. All that medical skill and
devoted attention could do was fully
given her but without avail. The end
came at last, and quietly and peacefully
the sufferer sank to rest. a devoted
husband and loving daughter survive
her, besides large circle of relatives
and friends. May they all meet her
in heaven. GEO. G.. n. MCDONNELL.

500 ENTRAPPED BY FIRE.
ALarge Scope of Country in the Grasp of
forest Fires.

'OICSk HOO
A press dispatch from Winnipeg
says: The city last night was in a
fever of excitement caused By the aw-
full bush fires now raging along the
line of the Southeastern Railway.
All the country from LaBroquerie,
about fifty miles down the line toward
Warren, Mimi, distance of seventy
five miles, is in the grasp of the fire,
which is sweeping the forest in all
directions, famed by strong easter
lv wind, and the number of human
beings entrapped is estimated at fully
500, composed chiefly Of scattered
settlers and men employed in the lum-
Der camps.
No messages have been received
since o'clock yesterday, when the
operator at Woodbridge, about ten
miles this side of Tassar, reported
that the special train bearing Buchan-
an and Keith's men and railway ottic-
ials had been within four miles of Vas
sar, and was driven back by the
flames.
From stragglers who have escaped
they learned that 100 teams with all
campaign outfits had been abandoned
and that the men have scattered for
their lives in all directions.
One hundred thousand ties and TO-
600 cords of wood were burned and
the camps were completely encircled
by raging flames.
The special train had just left on an
other trail to break through the
flames and attempt additional rescues.

Beauty and EducntIon,

Why is it that woman has always
been more beautiful than man? In
human beings the attractive qualities
have always been on the side of the
female. Why is it? Without wishing
to cast any aspersion on the members
Of the superior sex, we may fairly an
swer that 1t Is because they have hith-
erto been the less educated. But wom-
ans ideas are changing. She has lis
tened to the voice of the tempter whis-
pering In her ear all sorts of sweet fal-
lacies about equality Of the sexes, in
tellectual development and It's neces-
sity, and the like, and she has yielded
to the temptation. And the result of
this will be that she will lose her
beauty. She will suffer in appearance
as man has done and Is doing, and in
the course of time the extremely civ
ilized races of mankind will be ugly
irretrievably and lamentably ugly

A Joke on Offenbach,

Ofenbach, the famous opera bouffe

success and fame combined with a
vanity that occasionally played him q
sorry trick
Once he was going down the Rhine

was the Duke of Nassau, fact of
which the composer was In blissful ig-
norance.
AS the steamer approached Its last
stopping place the bank of the river
was seen to be covered by n dense
throng of people who were shouting
and waving their hats. A band on the
pier was playing a march from one of
Ofenbach's operas.
As the boat touched the pier Often
bach stepped to the rail and bowed and
waved his hat to the people In ac-
acknowledgement of this fiattering ova-
lion.
ut is glorious to be received In a
'oreign land like this" he remarked to
his companions.
But his self complacency received a

Hirsh of Chicago and a host of depart
ment commanders of the G. A. r. as
well as the local officials in charge of
Chicago's end of the encampment.

rendered to this nation in particular and
the world at large by the members of
the Grand Army and pointed out the
need of training the coming generations
in the duties which patriotism demands
of the nations citizens.
Rev. Il. &. Hirsch delivered patriotic

of mind.

ment are coming by the thousands, every
incoming passenger train being packed

rivals will swell the number to record

the water soaked ground the pale light of
lanterns glimmered through the walls of

Yokohama, Aug. 27.-Marquis Ito, for
merly prime minister, has issued man
ifesto setting forth the aims of his party,
which is called the Constitutional Politi-
cal association and from the ranks of
which the next cabinet will probably be
drawn. The manifesto emphasizes the
fact that the appointment and dismissal
of the ministers are constitutional pre-
negatives of the sovereign and that when
the ministers are in Office it is not per-
missible to their party to interfere in the
discharge of their duties. The press
urges the sending of troops to Korea.

1t Is said that the finder and the first

and sold for 81 900, since which time 1t
has frequently changed hands and is
now valued at $4,000. At the Colonial
