The Building Committee, thru one of it's members, Mir. J. T. Les ueur. has made substantially the fol- lowing correction of our last weeks impressions which we incorporated into an article on home industry with special reference to plastering ::
 1. Only one home plasterer could be induced to make any bid on the contract. His name is Bigelow and as his bid was too high he was asked to consider a smaller sum put refused to do 30.
 ?. The other home plasterer, by name, Waite, refused to make any bid, but said he would work for the successful bidder.
 8. Mir. Lewis from Navajo Co.,. was employed with the express un. derstanding that he employ Mir. Waite at $500 per day.
 4. When Lewis came to go to work Waite refused to work for him at the price all agrt 6 upon.
 5. The Committee insists that the clustering is good.
 Several other statements are made to show that home industry has been treated fairly in this mat. ter. But as the gentleman waited on us Tn the eleventh hour we can mt devote much more space to the matter this week. But we wish to invite the tribunal within whose jurisdiction this case properly falls to,lay straight edge against those walls, and then say whether or no the news man had a right to say bum job had been done.
 As to the home industry racket we shall now await developments for if the committee tells the truth then it is not the committee who is to. blame on that point. But if the com mittee had to send away. why did they not insist on having the job properly done?

NEW VIEW OF MATRINQNY.
0Mciai Opinions That It Is WTman' Proper and Particular
 Profession.

School boards and the post office de- partment agree in holding that matri- mony is woman's profession and voca- tion, and that when woman marries she secures means of livelihood and has no right to engage in other pur- suits to the exclusion of men or of women who are not married
 In Norfolk, Va, woman employed as a teacher, being aware of the rule excluding women having husbands to support them, married secretly, and when the fact was discovered she was forced to resign. But she decided that she would rather teach than be 8 wife, and she offered to obtain a divorce in order to retain her place This remarkable offer was rejected by the school board, which may or may not have won thereby the gratitude of the gentleman who has the happiness to be the lady's husband, and she promptly employed counsel to sue the city for breach of contract.
 In the case of clerk in the Indian apolis post office, the Washington au- thorities have ruled that when fe- male employe gets married she must resign and leave the government serv- ice.
 It remains to be seen whether the general adoption of such a rule will tend to discourage matrimony or di- minish the fervor of woman's desire to do mans work in the world, observes the Philadelphia North American. Surely not all women could be induced by the prospect of small salary to divorce their husbands or to remain spinsters all their lives.

wILHELMINA's HUSBAND.
Prince Henry VIII Not Cut Any
 Figure in FetAerIaRd Politics.

The future prince consort of Ho1. land, Prince Henry, will not be an important parsonage politically. In fact, he will have no excuse for mix ing in politics if he had the desire to do so. He may share the queens pop ularity by being just the good hus- band of his wife, an exemplary head of society and. above everything else, q patriot. The parliament, the cabi- net, the council of state Gin which the regency was yested) for all purposes of government exercise Legislative and executive power. They are the root, stem and branch. The queen is the flower. Her husband has no place in the constitution and would be il-ad- vised indeed to try to create one, says foreign exchange.
 Although Prince Henry bears high rank in the German army. he is not c German. The proud boast of his house is that they are Wends-that is to say. slavs. Nothing annoyed the late comte de Paris more than to read in the papers that he was the son of German princess. He claimed that she was Wend. As child, she was called by her erudite tutor "the queen of the Wends." The grand dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin have also been from time imme0oria2 princes of the Wends. The high sense of dignity shown by their daughters in not changing their religion. as they might . garment. is surely no German characteristic.

TRANSFERRING.

Since that brief article touched upon some plastering that was re- .ntly done in town, masy are the hot ihvectives that have been hurled at ye meek and humble edititor.
 Our esteemed friend. Mallory. a high minded deep CD thinker, a To gician CD and architect (?) makes the following eloquent CD remarks on the subject:
 1. The Herald man don't know what he is talking about.
 ?. Tie people will not pay any attention to the article.
 8. That article has terribly in- jured the prospects of the Academy as q school.
 4. The people will now be dis satisfied with the building. ! 5. That some one outside of thIs office put us up to write that article.
 6. That .he people will not bear us out in our statements.
 7. The reason the clustering is so rough is that the walls are go rough that it was almost impossi- ble for any one to do a good job. 8. That we should have said Mormon people where we said pen pie. (Well if he is not willing to accept the compliment implied by the omission. which would indicate that those who built the Academy, were really THE people, then we make the correction.
 Now, we make no claims at depth of grey matter nor to proficiency in syllogistic reasoning, but we can clearly gee that any one who has reached the intellectual standard Of TapayaxiR can easily see that at least half the above statements of our loving friend, must be short on veracity.
 We are willing to let every one who will take a good look at that pIastering be his own judge, and if majority do not agree with us, we then will get scorching from a ma iority of the folks interested, which we will take with the best grace.
 Now we shall close this incident. We hope that some genius may hit upon a plan whereby the interior of that otherwise elegant building may be replastered and made to look on an equality with the out side. And may the school which it is intended to accommodate be as great a success as the imagina- ton can picture.
 Here are two maxims to think of when you meet kicking commit teeman: Ut is the hit dog that howls," and "Verily it is the truth tha: hurts"

PolI;nntion Of Fruits.

All kinds of fruit trees and vines de.
pend upon pollen for success in produc-
ton. Some fruits that are well sup
piled with their. own pollen will ma
ture, but when the blossoms receive
pollen from some other source the fruit
reaches nearer perfection. Self-fecun.
dated pears have been known to be de-
ficient in seed, and plrms OF the same
variety have given the Same unsatisfac-
tory results. Prof. Manson, Of the
Maine Experiment Ste ton, has found
that the size of tomatoes may be quite
dependent on the amount Of pollen
they receive while in bloom, one receiv-
ing a larger amount growing four times
as large as one receiving only tmall
quantity. The number Of insect +isit-
ors in an orchard determines, to large
extent, the amount of ctoss-pollinatlon
carried on. as the pollen OF the apple
and pear is not produced in sufficient
quantity, nor of the PROPER consistency
to be carried by the wiadS. Three or
four varieties of fruits shodld be plant
ed together; that is, three or more va
reties of apples, the SAME of pears,
ETC., and every fruit grower hhould
have at least one hive of bees.

A certain authority has stated that a
single female louise may become the
grandmother of 10000 in eight weeks
time. Some other parasitic insects are
said to breed even more rapidly. There
is but one way to eXterminate them,
and that is to kill the first one as quick
ly as possible before 1t has an opportu-
hity Of breeding. This is not so diff
cult if one pays attention to the matter.

scriptural quotation brought to mind
by the declaration in the Ohio Repub-
lIcan platform against the trusts and
monopolies which the Republican par
ty has fostered and whose contribu-
tons are expected to re-elect a Repub-
lican President. There is something
funny in the idea of n Republican fat

on THE AFRICAN vELoT.
Dust and Flies the Chief Plaques of the

Dust and Flies the Chief Plaques of the
British Soldier.
Dust and flies are the chief plague of
the British soldier on the African yeldt.
Writing Of conditions there while Lord
Methuen's army, held in check by the
Beers, were encamped at the Modder
Rivera correspondent says:
When the first shot was fired across
the Modder the land was green in its
way. 1t had at least on 1t a make be-
lieve Of grass, a sparse, dried, untooth-
some looking heritage, which man and
beast accepted as fodder. Now 1t is
blazing red waste of sand. The waste
extends the sand is intensified. as regi-
ment is added to regiment, battalion to
battalion, battery to battery, troop to
troop. The dust, Which was once
nuisance, is now little less than
plague. 1t is always being stirred-by
the strings of horses on their way to
watering, which pass and repass to the
river almost every hour of the day; by
the kicking, squealing droves of trans
port mules, by the long spans of oxen.
1t rises on the stillest days, without
warning, in thin, twisting spirals of
yellow sand, which take their own way,
beautiful and abominable, across the
camp. befouling everything, upsetting
everything that stands in their course,
and reaching for hundreds Of feet up
ward into the still blue sky. But the
dust devils are little more than an
amusement to our dust-ridden souls. 1t
is the dust which comes not in dainty
spirals, but in overwhelming clouds
that we fear; which hides not tent
here and there. but the entire camp,
the roof of heaven, all vestige of the
world; which blinds the eyes and
brings blood to the eyelids, fills the
mouth with gritty foulness and coats
every inch of the body with film of
brown; which lasts not for a few bus
tering moments, but for hour after hour
of unrelieving discomfort, during which
it is impossible to ride, to write, or to
forgive ones enemies.
After the husband but a short way
after-the flies. One used to think, MS
IL child, that the Egyptians were let off
rather lightly with flies. A short stay
by the Modder alters that opinion. The
tent is black with them. A sudden
pyramid of them forms on every morsel
of food and ones hand is never at rest
sweeping them from ones face. They
follow the ink, as one writes. in search
of some fresh experience, and the pen Is
clogged with their severed feet. Be-
yond doubt one did tho l9gyptiaps on
Injustice.
