RELIGION AND EDUCATION.

There are 100000 children on the
rolls of British schools, but of these
only 4,7O0, 900, or about so per cent, at
tend regularly.
During the last decade the Roman
Catholics have increased more rapidly
in Prussia than the Protestants, while
the increase in the number of Hebrews
was insignificant.
No country does so much for the edu-
cation of its people as Germany. The
common schools are not only in reach
of the poorest, but the tuition is free
and attendance is compulsory in child
hood.
Previous practice of the fire drill en-
abled the teachers in school in CleVe-
land, O., in which a fire broke out, to
empty the building Of $50 pupils in .
minute and a half, without one being
injured.

GOSSIP OF PUBLIC MEN.

Gov. Miguel A. Otera, of New Mex
leo, is about to move in the direction
of stopping the vandals who have
been dismantiing the homes of the
cliff dweAers, monuments of a civil
ization older than the pyramids.
Senator N. n. Stranahan, who has
been selected as collector of the port
of New York, has as his given names
the states of Nevada and Nebraska.
At the time he was born the great
west was just beginning to develop
and his father was impressed by
reading about these territories.
Ex-Speaker Reed was riding up
town in New York street car the
other evening and was carried past
his corner. The conductor appeared
to be the only person on board who
knew the big man and was express
ing regret at the mistake when Mr..
Reed said: Don't sympathize with
me. or with anyone. 1t is out of style
and the only place where you can
find sympathy now is in the diction-
ary."
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, and
Gov. Shaw (before they had won
their present titles) were stumping
Kentucky and were invited into a
barroom by Louisville man. Fair
banks asked for Apollinaris and
Shaw ordered a glass of buttermilk.
The Kentuckian's native courtesy

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

There is no retiring age for the ad-
miral in the navy; Admiral Dewey will
be carried on the active list as long as
he lives.
Henry I. of England was called
"Beauclerk" because he was one of the
few kings of his time who could read
and write.
At the battle of Santiago Schley was
commodore, Sampson captain. The
latter had the temporary rank of
rear admiral.
Miss Lillian A. Norton, of Texas, re-
Gently appointed chief of the finance d.
vision of the post office department,
draws the largest salary of any wom-
an in the service of the government
$2,250 per annuin:
Mrs: C. n. Whitman; of Denver, owns
the largest ranch of any woman IN
the world. 1t is located in Texas, near
Tuscola, and is called the L. S. ranch,
from Lucien Scott, the first owner. The
ranch is 80 miles square, and hundreds
of cowboys are employed upon it.
Like King Edward, King Victor
Emanuel is engaged in a very radical
wedding ett of the invitation list of
his court and is adopting policy of
exclusiveness. In the days of King
Humbert almost anybody could Sc
cure an invitation to court balls, es-
pecially if a foreigner, and the guests
as a general rule numbered 5000 to
1000.
King Edward, in the days when he
was prince of Wales, sat on the COM
mission for the housing of the poor,
and no commissioner worked harder
than he. Visiting some of the poorest
slums in London, he investigated for
himself the condition of the people, and
in the house of lords he spoke of the
sights he had seen as perfectly dis
graceful"
Miss Helen F. Mears, formerly of
Oshkosh, Wis, will make the statue
of the late Miss Frances Willard, to be
presented by the state of Illinois to
Chicago. Miss Mears was pupil of
ST. Gaudens, and also studied for sew
eral years in Paris. St. Gaudens says
of her work: cit is as strong a S a
mans, and has in addition a subtle,
intangible equality, exceedingly rare
and spiritual"

THE LATEST FASHIONS.

The newest collarette is the alex
andra Vietorine." 1t forms a short
capelet, falling rather fully over the
shoulders, and has a high collar; the
lapels fall from the cape down to the
feet.
Large stylish collars IN single, double
or triple form are seen on both fancy
waists and wraps and the Marie An
toinette hold is feature of some of
the seasons princesse redingotes, silk
Or light cloth newmarkets and short
eloaks for evening uses.
The high novelty in belts is waist
band formed of thin white leather laid
in folds. Some are so high as to be al
most corselet, others are about three
inches wide. The buckles are high and
narrow, and some times are both in
the front and at the middle of the
back.
We are once again to patronize fur
hats, these being mostly made of sable,
and trimmed with searfs of lace. Lace
of the coarser kinds is much used for
millinery in Paris, and a sable hat of
last years date may be easily reno
waited by 4 gathered brim of ecru chif
fon covered with scarf of lace.
Sashes will be a feature of many ele-
giant evening gowns and of young
women's evening dresses in particular.
They are made -variously of chiffon,
India silk with hem-sthched ends, Wat
teau and Marie Antoinette ribbons,
crepe de chine with knotted fringed
ends and black velvet with white APP
plique bands as finish.
Matrons will have it all their own
way in colors. One sees endless shades
of brown-ruddy, seal or golden brown,
softening to cafe au lait and fawns-
dull plum color, aubergine or reddish
purple, mouse gray, invisible gray, dull
uncertain blues and all the warmer
tints of claret and burgundy, which
blend so deliciously w Ch old rose.
Mixed Persian colcrings are highly
popular in galloons, and afford a pretty
touch of color in a dark gown. Jap
anese embro idery on silk bands also
is favored for cloth costumes. A
novel trimming seen lately was the
border of a cashmere shawl set on the
foot of reddish brown cloth suit and
appearing in narrower bands in the
border of the bolero and bands of the
sleeves.

CURIOUS INFORMATION.

The first proclamation against foot
ball III England was issued by Edward
II. in 1914.
New York and London capitalists are
erecting large hotels in the towns along
the North Pacific coast.
Three rivers as big as the Rhine

turn and run for room, instead Of
trying to meet US bows on. AS a
consequence, the whole of our five
ships hit her together on the broad
side, tearing her planking with theis
underwater beaks, and sinking her
before we had backed clear from tn.
engage.
But if we thus brought the enc
my's number down to five, and so
equal to our own, the advantage did
not remain with us for long. The
three nimble galleys formed into
line; their boatswain's whips cracked
as the slaves bent to their oars, ard
presently one of our own ships was
gored and sunk, the men on her be-
ing killed in the water without hope
of rescue.
And then commenced tight-locked
melee that would have warmed the
heart of the greatest warrior alive.
The ships and the gal1eSs were
forced together and lay savagely
grinding one another upon the swells,

A RIVAL NAVY.

E5w when we came up with the
oca Is of Atlantis, though lob, with
81 of his modern instruments, had
ma nis landfall with most marvel
.ag II and nearness, there still re-
ar some ten days more journey
-. ,r44~h we had to retrace our course,
till we came to that arm of the sea
up which lies the great city of Atlantis,
the capital.
The sight of the land, and the breath
of earth and heritage which came off
from it with the breezes, were, 1 be-
heye, under the gods, the means of
saving the lives of all of US. For, as
is necessary with long cross-ocean
, voyages, many of our ships companies
had died, and still more were sick
with scurvy through the unnatural
tossing, or Gas some have IT'D through
the salt, unnatural food inseparable
from shipboard. But these last the
sight and the smells of LAND heartened
up in extraordinary fashion, and from
being helpless logs, unable to move
even under blows of the scourge, they
became active again, able to help in
the shipwreck, and lusty (when the
time came) to fight for their lives and
their vessels.
But when our navy had retraced
sufficiently the course that had been
overrun, and came up with the two
vast headlands which marked the en-
trance to the inland waters, there, a
pare two days from the Atlantis capt.
1ai' we met with another navy which
was beyond doubt waiting to give US
reception. The ships were riding a
anchor in bay which lent them shell
ter, hnt they had scouts on the high
iano above, who cried the alarm of
our approach, and when we rounded
the headland, they were standino ont

IMPLEMENT HOUSE.

In putting the machinery into prop
er working condition. and thus it is
that a larger percentage of agricui-
tural implements rot or rust out
than wear out. Accordingly, money
used in erecting suitable buildings in
which to store wagons, sleighs, now
ers, grain binders, reapers, corn har-
vesters, seeders, cultivators and all
other kinds of implements on the
farm is not only well spent, but
proves soon to be paying invest
ment.
The way to do is to select a site
convenient to the lanes leading to
the various fields, and always at
proper distance from the other farm
buildings, to insure safety in case of
fire. The structure may be any size
desired, but usually, if 20 by 40 feet,
it will answer every purpose; it can
then be divided into three spaces,
two of 10 feet each and one of IA
feet. Three of the sides should be
inclosed, and the fourth fitted with

IMPLEMENT HOUSE. !,
Every Farm Should Have n Building
for the Storage of Machinery
and Tools.

Diversified farming calls for a
great variety of tools and agricul-
turai implements, and as these are
used during only fractional part of
the year the average farmer lays
them aside in hurry; SO much SO,
even, that he generally feglects to
oil the polished surfaces of plows,
spades, sickles and the like, and
when again he wants to use them he
finds, alas! that they will not work
well. The fact is, he may consider
himself fortunate if they are not
out of order to such an extent as to
require a great deal of repairing.
Valuable time in consequence is lost

A BLACKSMITH'S STORY.

Goodland, Kan, Dec. 23.-N. E.
Albertson, local blacksmith, had al
most decided to give up his shop alto
gether on account of rheumatism
which had crippled him so that at
times he could not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so
sore that he couldn't sleep at night.
He had suffered for years, but was
getting gradually worse till at last
he had about made up his mind to
give up. But just then he heard of
some wonderful cures of Rheumatism
by Dodd's Kidney Pills and thought
he would try for cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not trace of rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up and
Mr.. Albertson may be seen there any
day hard at work as if nothing ever
allied him.

BEAUTY HINTS.

A few drops of benzoin dropped into
water until it looks milky makes
pleasant wash for the face and is very
good for the skin.
A cold-water compress is an excel
lent remedy for sore throat. Wiring
out the bandage fairly dry, wrap
around the throat, and cover with dry
piece of flannel.
A mouth is not considered beautiful
simply because it is smallin these more
enlightened days, but to the contrary
the good-sized one with well-curved
lips is looked upon as at once more
beautiful and more full of character
than the Cupid's bow sort.

But the owl prefers his broodings in the

And such untimely rhapsodies annoy.

But his solitary musings bear bitter sort

For he blinks his yellow eyes,
And he looks amazing WISE

CRAMMING OF POULTRY.
1t Is a Cruel Process, But Quite Popu-

fowls are ''crammed" for the Christ

in which the unfortunate birds are
confined, takes out each bird in
turn, fits the feeding tube eight
inches down it's throat, and with his
foot pumps the crop full, disengages
the tube, and puts the bird back
into the pen. The rapidity with
which this is done by a good work
man is wonderful to see. Birds once
artificially fed will not again take
food naturally, and once the "cram-
ming is commenced it has to be
kept up until the fowl is adjudged
''full fat" for the market, when his
neck is wrung and he soon goes on
his way to the poulterer' s.-London

seIecting Eggs for Hatchinr

An English poultry book says: eff
any chicks are to be reared from home
stock, the attendant should learn to
recognize the egg from each particular
hen. There is no difficulty in this even
with a considerable number-nearly
every egg, to the accustomed eye, has
a well-marked character" This is
phase of the situa ton that will not ap-
pear to most Americans. We are skep-
teal. If it be possible to thus distin-
guish eggs the work of breeding up is
greatly simplifed,

The Early-Rising Fallacy.

The old saying, ''early to bed and
early to rise,' when applied to modern
ways of living, has its draw backs. For
example, people who make it a rule
always to get up at 6 o'clock are not
able always to get to bed early, conse-
quently their rule simply makes them
lose sleep. Early rising is not neces-
sar1ly a good thing. Every person
should determine the amount of sleep
he requires and then should be sure to
get it., early or late. If you want to
sleep we'll drink "Golden Grain Belt'
beer for it quiets the nerves and re-
lieves the brain. Have case in your

manager for Foley Bros, at Foley, has
resigned his position and will at once
go to Duluth where he will engage in
the tie business with his brother,
Thomas. Mr.. Martin is hard worker;
a gentleman whom it is pleasure to
meet and one who is always thoroughly
alive to the interests of his employers.
He will be greatly missed in the COM
munity where he has so ,zealously
worked for these many years. The
growth and prosperity of Foley is in no
small measure the result of his pro-

man and will doubtless acquit himself
creditably.-St. Cloud Journal Press.

large as reasonably possible, so that
the bulk of cooling water may be manv

vices for watering milk and other short

condemned without trial. If the cream
is kept cool and in place free from

seven days may elapse between churn-

If the cream has been kept perfectly
