Teach Your Child to Love Nature

If nature be the teacher, we need
never fear that our children have be-
come pupils too soon, because hers is
not a examining method. Every little
mind brought in contact with her is
piled necessarily with knowledge, it is
true, yet as freely as the air is drawn
into the lungs and fills them, giving
with each respiration new vigOr and
life, even so does Dame Nature i'm
part her instruction to the mind
Often she may require q preceptor.
Let us not fail to be that preceptor,
and show our children how her book
always lies open before them, waiting
to be read filled from cover to cover
with every living, growing thing
about; and that nothing is too insig-
nificant to find a place among the
pages. Ii they become well acquainted
with her they will love her, and will
have gained besides a knowledge
which will never be forgotten, nor
relegated to the attiCs of the brain on
account of disuse. In view of this
would it not be wise to let our chill
dren give up the first seven or eight
years of their lives to the tutelage of
nature alone Gertrude Dixie Gaskell

Madison, April 16.-The senate, af-
ter a sharp debate in which Senator
Mills made several sarcastic refer
ences to the university professors who
lobby for the passage of their pet
measures, passed the McGilliyray bill
appropriating $4,000 to the state geo
logical survey. The bill originally car
ried $4,000, but when sent to the
committee on claims the amount was
reduced to $4,000. Prof. Buckley, who
conducts the survey, says that the
work can not be successfully carried
on with such limited means, and
though he has not decided just what
he will do. he will in all probability
make an effort to have the bill so
amended in the assembly that the al
lowance for this work will be ample.
In the lower house Assemblyman
McCabe of Milwaukee made a vigorous
onslaught upon the special privileges
which material furnishers enjoy by
virtue of the lien laws as compared
with people in mercantile pursuits and
Rank bill, which extends the lien law
to subcontractors. An amendment had
been offered requiring dealers to give
notice within 30 days to house owners
of the fact that material used in their
construction had not been paid for.
The amendment was adopted and the
bill ordered engrossed but only after
a long fight in which Messrs. McCabe
and Rossman argued for the change
and Messrs. Sturdevant and orion
against. The Eline bill exempting no
taries public from the operation Of
the anti-pass law was opposed by Mr..
Hall. who said il was wrong for this
assembly, which had just adopted an
anti-pass constitutional amendment,
to now act contrary to the principle
involved In it. Such action might
give the senate an excuse for acting
adversely. Anyway the pass business
was bad. There was no reason why
any citizen should have such a priyi-
lege. Mr. Eline and Mr.. Keene said
it was never intended to carry the
anti-pass proposition to such an alb
surd length. The bill was killed II to
80. Mr.. Surdevant and Mr. orion
both assailed in fine fashion Senator
Jones bill which made landlords LA
bic for water and lighting bills in case
tenants fail to pay them. 1t applies
only in case where municipal owner

ship prevails. Mr.. Orion thought such
proposition was a violation of the
taxing principle. Mr. Cady also spoke
against the bill and it was killed. Nc
Millan's bill appropriating 10000 for
the construction of the levee at Port
age was passed, and these also:
Erickson's, to appropriate $500 for
the interstate park on the St Croix
river; Hartung's, to enable towns to
license dogs; Benson's, including wild
barley in the list of noxious weeds and
one from a committee, providing fire.
escapes on all public buildings.
Madison, April 17-Action on the
voting machine proposition was again
deferred. A bill was proposed relat-
ing to the weight of engines and road
rollers on public highways The as
sembly bill permitting children under
8 years of age to be admitted to the
Sparta state school was ordered to a
third reading and the senate bill linn
iting to $3.50 a candidates contribu-
ton to the campaign fund was en-
crossed.
In the assembly the lien bill went
over for the day, as did also the ostoo-
pathic measure, while Senator
O'Neil's bill compelling county boards
to officially publish their proceedings
in one or more papers went back to
the committee. Boards now have the
option of doing so or not as they
please. Senate bills were concurred
in appropriating $4,000 as an emer-
genCy fund to be used in place of
plaques; codifying the national guard
law and making an annual appropra.
ton of $125000 to maintain the state
militia; and permitting railways to
appoint special policemen at depots.
There was a long fight on the bill
whose object is to do away with spe-
cial verdiCts in personal damage
suits, but it was finally advanced,
while the bill permitting S. D. Car
penter to bring suit against the state
for $4,000 on an old printing claim
was killed with only II votes for it.
The Dane county fish bill was passed.
1t permits fish to be taken at any
time.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Madison, April Ex-Governor La
Toilette sent two vetoes to the assem-
bly,, both of which were sustained.
The first was a bill to permit towns to
issue bonds for the purpose of erect
ing wagon toll bridges over nayigable
rivers. 1t related to RiChland county.
The governor in his veto said: The
whole subject of voting for and issu-
ing bonds by towns or other political
subdivisions of the state is of too
much Importance to be legislated upon
in so loose and indefinite a manner.
If the laws now on the statute books
are either too stringent or too lax,
they can easily be amended by definite
and certain language. They ought
not to be changed or modified by so
general and indefinite an act as is pro-
posed by this bill" The second was
an act authorizing a school board in
Waukesha county to borrow money.
OF this the governor said: THE
present laws would seem simply to
cover all necessity for borrowing
money on the part of school districts"
Mr.. Fesenfeld's bill to regulate the
teaching of dancing was laid on the
table which is equivalent to being in
definitely postponed Among the bills
killed were the following: Stevens,
appropriating for John II. Hughes and
Geo f. Peabody and relating to licens-
ing of scientists for the collection of
eggs, birds, as well as Ainsworth's, re-
Quiring no license from disabled ped
dlers.

Madison, Wis, April 1S.-The sem
ate again killed the Hall resolution
calling for a constitutional amend
ment permitting the use of voting
machines at elections. AS usual, the
senate has followed this program Tor
several weeks, with regard to this
resolution a motion was made to
laid over till next Wednesday, at
which time it is expected the senate
will reconsider the vote by which ihe
resolution was killed yesterday and
adopt it. The Portage levee bill
carrying an appropriation of $4,000
was advanced to third reading, as
was also the Soltwedel sweatshop
measure.
The osteopaths and the state
medical board yesterday agreed upon
compromise as to their bills over
which they have been fighting ever
since the beginning of the session.
DR.. Warren d. Davis, secretary of the
OsteopathiC college of Milwaukee, md
DR.. Curran, president of the state
medical board, effected the agreement
and Mr.. MCCOmb introduced the sub
stitute deci led upon. The substitute
provides that the esteopaths shall
have a member on the state medical
board and that after 1903 the os,
teopath curriculum shall practically
conform TO the medical requirements
and that osteopaths who are permitted
to practice shall stand an examina-
ton similar to those of regular
physicians. The agreement is salts
factory to both parties and it is
probable that the new bill will pass
the legislature.
