Normal Notes.

Gov. Stanley addressed the Insti-
tnte Thursday morning.
Miss BierbOwer. from LaCross, rep
resenting the Weeks Current, and In
telligence, was a visitor Wednesday
and Thursday.
The physiology class is wrestling
with the "histolOgy of the pericardi-
um, " defibrinated blood, emigration
of cucocytes, and ''arrabOlic and cat
abolic changes of nutriment.' The
members of the class will be able to
give the doctors pointers at ihe end of
the session.
Prof. Seaman's class in physics has
increased to nine members. Nearly
all these will try for first grade GER
tificates. A few years ago there were
only four of five teachers in the county
holding first grade certificates, but
the number is steadily increasing.
Supt. Clark suggests that the teach
er who can't afford to attend the
County Institute, can't afford to take
educational papers, ETC., will soon
find that the public can't afforI to pay
him for teaching, but will demand
teachers who prepare themselves for
their work.
The class in vocal music under
Prof. Baugher's skillful instruction is
making rapid progress. A special
examination in this branch will be
held at the close of the session and all
who pass will be given certificates
stating that they are competent to
teach vocal music in the public
schools.
The following persons have enrolled
since the list was published last week:
Anna Butler, Lizzie Regnier, Nellie
Roberts, Charles Sturdevant, Samuel
Alexander, May Montgomery, Alice
Kennedy.
With the aid of Mr.. DeTar's fine
microscope we were able to see the cir
culation in a frog's foot. Prof. Con-
der kindly furnished some of his own
life blood for examination. The frog
and Prof. GOnder both survived the
ordeal and feel themselves martyrs to
science.
President Smith arrived Thursday
evening. He addressed the Institute
this morning and will deliver the
graduation address at the common
school commencement this evening
Prof. Smith is a scholar, a thinker
and an entertaining speaker All who
can should avail themselves of this
opportunity to hear him.

administration

The administration has finally
shown itself to be possessed of back
bone and demonstrated to n waiting
public that it will let no one escape
who has been implicated in the frauds
in Cuba. Rathbone, ex-director of
the Cuban postal affairs has been at
tended to. The administration has
fixed him in spite of his threat to tell
what he knew about the election of
Hanna to the senate if he was inter-
fered with, and all good American
citizens can again hold up their heads
and point with pride to our grand ex-
ecutive. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars We're stolen from the govern
ment by the postal authorities in Cuba
and Rathbone must suffer because he
was the boss of the whole push; and
SO. in spite of all threats of venge-
ance, the authorities have jumped on
him with both feet, and find him guilty
OF ''culpable negligence. 1t has
leaked ont on the side that had it been
learned that he had stolen the whole
island he wonld have been charged
with petty larceny.

him a liar and dares him to try
to knock the board out. The little
governor is up against the real thing
this time as Campbell proves cOnclus-
lively that the cattle in question had
been quarantined ten days; that a
member of the board had attended to
it and turned the matter over to the
sheriff, and that any and all the men,
bers of the board could have been
reached by wire at any time at their
houses. He winds up in polite terms
by asking the governor to go to a

The sequel to this came ont Monday
when a meeting between Stanley, the
commission and a number of the cat
tlemen of the state took place in the
governors Office. After n very ami
mated discussion the governor was
forced to admit that his mouth had
run away with him again, and that he
had the greatest confidence in the
board.

New Books.

A new political novel is "The
Transgressor" by Francis A. Aadms,
deals with the political question.
This form of financial piracy is
prolific in litirary possibilities and
this author makes the best of them.
He draws the sorrow and suffering
caused by the shameless manipulation
of the prices of the necessities of life
by trust magnates with a powerful pen.
Besides there is an Interesting love
story running through it. That makes
it dOubly interesting. 1t is full of
dramatic incident and is artistic in

'Todds New Astronomy by Prof.
David p. Todd of Amherst College is
one of those scientific books where
subject matter is so finely presented

done away with. 1t is strange that
with the heavens always over us peo-
pie make SO little effort to know any
thing abOnt the most interesting of all

Among the many beautiful grounds at

June, shed some leaves late I'm September.

Fred Simons is said TO have an affection
for old-fashioned roses, the standard va
rleties OF which only bloom In June, and
by collecting from old-time gardens has
really in one sheltered spot the roses OF
our grandmothers. There are moss roses

the large blossoms of which are striped
red and white, alleged to have first grown
on the battlefield where Richard III was
slain; the purple Noisette. raised by the
Princess Lambda; the Spanish cluster,
great punches of pink blossoms, covered
with thorns, the pink cabbage rose. larger
and fuller than the American Beauty, and
the lO0-leaf rose, that humble variety of
the eighteenth century. This has also
been called the Queer Anne rose because
IL came into popularity at the same time
as brick buildings In England.
The loveliest of them all is the tea-3cent-
ed white rose, the Oldest OF all outdoor
monthly boomers. All these grow out o.
doors, and are never forced Last June
there was controversy as TO which OF
these roses was the variety that Letitia
Penn paid yearly as tribute to her broth
ers for the lands around the Rose Tree
inn. The verdict was that the red rose IA
those days was pink rose.
