In the light of Christ's teachings, it is
difficult to understand the mysterious
triumph OF Mohammedanism over Chris
tianity at his birthplace, at his home,
and at his tomb, and in the very the
alter of his activity; it is difficult to in
terpret the divine Judgment, which has
and the cradle of Christ in the hands Of
Turks. Perhaps the Christianity OF
Syria was trampled down by Islam be-
cause it was corrupt and deserved to
fail, and later. in attempting to regain
its birthplace during the Middle Ages.
Christianity failed, perhaps. because it
was cruel, wicked, selfish and avaricious.
Upon the very soil where Christ taught
the ignorant, and healed the sick. and
cured the blind, preached the gospel Of
brotherly love and charity and compass
sion: in the very towns where he went
about doing good. wiping the tears from
the eyes of sorrowful women and bless

his name never allowed the
sword to leave their hands. but slaugh-
tered their prisoners and swept down

The weather was very cold, with
about one foot of snow. The settlers
could do but little during the winter,
except to cut 6rewood and talk about
the great city that would grow up
here. The general gathering place,

cellence. The Swiss pride themselves on
their educational system, and they univer-
sally patronize the schools. Here in Zurich
it is estimated that 81 per cent of the chill
dren Of all classes go to the public schools,
although there are excellent private aca-
denies and kindergartens. Every canton
has it's school board and every village its
school buildings. The country is small, but
altogether there are more than 5000 schools
in it, and a large number Of high schools
and universities. Basel has a university
which was founded before the discovery Of
America, and there are good universities
at Bern, Geneva, Fribourg and Zurich.
These universities are organized on the
same plan as those Of Germany, each being
governed by a rector and a senate, and
divided into four faculties of theology, law,
philosophy and medicine.
Here at Zurich a polytechnic school is
maintained by the federal government. 1t
has 1000 students and $50 professors. In
addition to this there are $50 technical
schools in Switzerland which receive money
from the general government or the can
tons and there are also seventy DINNER
cial schools, with more than 5000 pupils.
The Swiss watch the health Of their
school children and almost every school
has its gymnasium. There are more than
1000 schools here which have gymnastic
training all the year round and 3,400 which
give lessons in gymnastics a part of the
year. I nave visited a number of gym
nasiums. They are we'll equipped and the
boys and girls do their work under regu-
lar instructors.
There are ten school houses in this town
which have baths connected with them,
and the dirty child is sent out for a wash.
The city has its school doctors who make
regular examinations OF the eyes, ears and
teeth OF the pupils. Think OF a school den
fist! That is what they have in Zurich.
Many of the public schools have gardens
about them. l visited one this afternoon
which had at least an acre given up to
play and exercise grounds and this otwith
standing the school was in the heart of
the city. Under the trees were v~aulting
horses and parallel bars and this in addl-
tion to the regular gymnasium under cover.
In one section of the grounds a class of
boys was training under their professor, a
tawny, bearded man Of 35 years. The boys
had iron rods about four feet long, which
they threw about in a variety of motions
as directed. photographed the class in
action and the boys were delighted thereat.
In all parts of Switzerland the teachers
take the children off now and then on edu-
cational tours. The little ones visit the
country nearby and the older pupils have
excursions on the railroads to the most
beautiful parts OF Switzerland. More than
5000 scholars were sent out from Zurich
on such tours last year with their teach
ers. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

Freak Inventions

What has become of the crank in
ventors? They have dropped off ma
t~erially with their freak devices during
the last year, and those interested in
the unique in the product of human in
genuity have every reason to be APP
prehensive that the originality of these
geniuses has deserted the field. During
the last year, relates the Army and
Navy Register, very little in the way
of inventive oddities has been sub
mitted for the consideration of the
War department. The aerial gun car
riage, or, in other words, the airship
designed for wal purposes, seems to
have been forgotten. There is still,
however, the asphyXiating shell, that
weird prOjectile which on bursting
suffCcates the enemy. There is also
the winged shell to which the rihing
is applied instead of to the gun. Our
old friend, the ball bearing projectile,
is also represented, but there is little

cept a military gait" a proposition
that the toe of a soldiers boot be
equipped with a spike, presumably to
make his kick more poignant. There
are two women who have appeared
with contrivances. One, a cousin OF
Senator Hanna, has a canteen filter
which she has annually offered for
consideration and which has been as
regularly mot recommended" The
other has a rubber-covered bride bit
which was offered as a substitute for
the steel article supposed to be too
hard on the horses mouth, but mas
much as the argument for its adoption
proposed to make these rubber bits
as hard as steel, there seemed no
special reason for their acceptance.
a great many OF the suggestions made
TO the War department for war ma
terial have been rejected on account
OF their impracticability, but few CT
mem can be regarded as interesting
on account OF their originality. or
course, the war with Spain induced a
good many ranks to offer absurd in
yontions and to ventilate their RI
dlculous theories, and perhaps the
lack OF any prospect OF military actiy-
lty accounts for the absence OF con-
'rlbutlohs from that source now. II

dams made a burial ground, as it is a com
handing position, a view Of the country
for twenty miles being clear from its sum

Pawnoe village. Excavations on the hill
have revealed large quantities Of Indian
relics, pipes, tomahawks, arrowheads, pot

buried with the bones of the dead war

There is no newly formed organization
interested in civic affairs that is making
more progress in Iowa than the League of
Iowa Municipalities, formed a few years
ago, which has been holding annual meet
ings. At the last meeting, held in Iowa
City, Mayor ]. A. Walter of McGregor. Ia.
was elected president. Mayor Walter had
been identified with the league from the
first, and had served on the committees on
legislation, on waterworks and finance. He
is an earnest advocate of municipal owner
ship and believes that great good can come
to the cities of Iowa through this league
where the mayors and city officials an
nually meet and consider subjects Of mutual
interest. Mayor Walter is but Al years old,
was born in MCGregor, in which city he
was elected to the council in 1895, and In
1897 was elected mayor. He is now serv-
ing his third term. He is a dentist by
profession and is president of the North

Omaha High school will be represented in
the annual joint debate with Beatrice High
school by a trio of bright boys, who won
the right to represent the school in a pre-
liminary contest as close and interesting
as the main contest is likely to be. These
annual debates are of much importance in
the school world and are looked forward
to by the boys with almost as much ex-
pectancy as a foot ball game. Omaha's
champions this year have shown much
ability as debaters and will enter the
forensic arena with confidence born of ex-
perience.
"Wahoo" is a word that has puzzled
many people, both as to its origin and
meaning. 1t is Of admitted Indian origin, but
the red men themselves were a little hazy
as to its exact meaning. At the time the
whites began to settle in Nebraska the
PawnCCs possessed the land where now is
Saunders county. To a creek that
traversed the prairie they had given the
name of Pawhoo, saying it was from a
round bluff or hill, which formed a bend
in the creek. Pawhoo is thought to mean
"a round hill" as Pawhocco means a
