it's price in the market. With improved
car service and better running time the
effects continue to be apparent each year.
One illustration will suffice to show
what has been done. Before the coming
OF the electric lines Lowry Hill west and
Kenwood was regarded as almost at "the
jumping off place''-it was verify the edge
of the world. Now it is section to
which people are flockiug and where hun
dreds of handsome houses are already oc-
cupied. Notable development has also
been experienced in the Lake Harriet re-
gion at Minnehaha Falls, in North Min
neapolis. and in New Boston in the ex-
IRENE northeast-all due to good trans
portation facilities. ~
Minneapolis has to-day a street railroad
system equal, If not superior, to that of
any tirst-class city in the country. Elec-
tricity is used exclusively as motive pow
err. The change from horse power was be-
gun in 1889 ard was accomplished within
two years. 1t involved the entire re-
building of the system and the purchase
of new equipment throughout.
About the same time the street railway
system of St. Paul was connected with
that of Minneapolis, and the two sys-
TENS made practically one. The Twin
City Rapid Transit company owns and
operates the entire dual city system as
well as suburban line of nearly twenty
two miles, reaching from st. Paul to
White Bear Lake ana saltwater. Inc
company is Differed as follows: Presi-
dent. Thomas Lowry; vice president, C..
G. Goodrich; auditor, ]. F. Calderwood;
general manager, Willard j. Held; SUI
perintendent, Minneapolis division G..
Brigger; st. Paul division, G. G. Bur-
dick.
In the entire system there are 255 miles
of electric railway and to operate the
system 1000 cars and an army Of, men
are required. Power for the Minneapolis
| system and a part of the St. Paul sys-
| tenn in the interurban district is obtained
| by the utilization of water power. The
| new type of car is a double truck car,
which will seat fifty-one people, with
| large windows, electric lights and mod
ern heaters. These cars are capable OF
high speed and ere models Of comfort and
convenience. The electric cars afford q
popular means Of seeing the city and en-
] virons, and special cars may be- obtained
for private trolley parties. IS

Bids should be obtained from number
of reliable contractors. But it is not al
ways the lowest bidder who is the best
man to let the contract to-. If youaare not
personally acquainted with the man and
his reputation and the architect cannot
vouch for him, it is we'll to make careful
inquiry before entrusting him with the
work. Those who are undertaking their
first building, are frequently astonlshed at
the great range of prices shown in the
bids of various contractors on the same
work and from the same plans and specl-
fications. These things are usually easily
accounted for. The lowest bidders are
usually men who will give their personal
attention to the work-carpenters who
will usually perform much labor them
selves while directing the other work.
men. A contractor of this class can fire.
quently undertake a building at much
lower figure than contractor having a
large business, who must needs put
foreman in charge Of each building. Such
contractor figures more literally Ito
himself) on matters which he knows he
cannot personally supervise, and he usu-
ally wants larger margin of profit. II
he happens to be rushed with work he
may increase the margin by a heavy per-
centage, not caring to take on more busi-
ness unless he can get a large profit out
Of it. Mistakes are not often made. But
sometimes a responsible bidder will fig.
ire too low. This is all right for the own,
er if the man will make good his prices,
but if he is not responsible the results
are very unsat isfactory, even if the owner
t Is protected by a sufficient bond: Before
settling up with any contractor he should
be required to give satisfactory evidence
that all his bills are paid both for mate

The hints are only intended to aid persons

the city to respond to country growth is

miserable, according to the extent of the
inefficiency.
. For the ordinary small or medium sized
house in Minneapolis the most popular
system of heating is that called the
combination This is combination OF
hot air furnace and hot water heat, the
same fire warming he air and the water.
Many houses are well warmed by hot air
furnaces, and the system has the merit
of being low priced in original cest and in
always securing good supply of fresh air
in the house. But in some kinds of wealth
er it is impossible to heat any house
evenly with a hot air furnace. BY placing
hot water radiators in some of the rooms
more exposed to winds a more even tenn
perature is assured al all times.
But a combination systen,-or any sys-
TEN for that matter-must be installed by
competent heating contractor to secure
good results This is one one place in the
house where it does not pay to economics.
Secure the services of f1rst-class man
and trust to his judgment. In combina-
ton plant of the amount of water radi-
alton and the size of the warm air fues
must be accurately adjusted or they will
not work together evenly and the hot
water will get too hot and the rooms thus
supplied be over heated, while those sup
piled by air remain too COLOR vice
versa. Both hot water and steam heating
plants are now being generally int reduced
even into small houses. They are more
expensive than the combination plan, but
have their merits and are being quite
generally adopted for the better grades
| of houses.
Plumbing is subject equally important
with heating. The architect should draw
detailed specifications for the work and
only thoroughly reliable plumbers should
be asked to bid. Even then the work
should be most carefully inspected by the
architect while construction is going on,
for even the most reliable contracting
plumbers aretliable to be imposed upon by
Ecareless journeymen. ss
Finally. it should be remembered that
the owner of the house cannot give too
careful personal attention to thte progress
of the building. On general principles
contractors and workmen are more eff
Gent when they know that the owner Is
watching the work. Aside froa the pleas
ure that is derived from seeing your
fuure home rise stone by stone and board
by board from the foundations, there is
often substantial profit in giving the
work attention and personally feeling as.
sured that the specifications are being
complied with to the letter.

study it from its vari Gus sides, and whether you be a Brton or of
whatever race and nation your optimism will be turned to pessi
mdsm. Such a study will reveal in India a mental and political degra-
daton the like Of which among civilized and progressive countries
is nowhere else at thi 5 moment to be seen, and, probably, was at no
time during recorded history anywhere to be seen.
Look at a few acts Not one Indian has, during a whole cen
fury, occupied a seat in the supreme, or presidency, or provincial
executive councils, nor in the secretary Of states council in Eng
land. 1t is Europeans who receive the salaries from government
positions in India. Eah European in the Indian civil list receives
on an average $1,000 per annur; each Eurasian $500 and each In
dian in the service an average Of but $50.
The world passes off the Indian famines as the "act Of Cod"
but such is not true. TITS GOVERNMENTAL NEGLECT OF
OPPORTUNITIES THAT PRODUCE THEM. The governing
country has drained che msgoverned colony Of its working capital,
and given in return=nahng, or rather worse than nothing for it
has given railroads which but tend TO increase the devastation Of
famine BY offering naeas Of transporting the stores to markets
where the people are able TO pay better prices for them. What it
should have given was Irrigation something that would have in
creased the produciveess Of the soil, but no, England has spent
nearly seven times as much on railways within the last sixteen years
as it has on rrigatio-n. RAILWAYS WEIR CONSIDERED A

For these and OF her reasons India is growing year after year a

Advancement Of

joyed by the male stud ems exclusively, after the custom Of coeduca-
ional universities.
The institute foio including both sexes is significant of the ac-
cepted favor in which liberal education for women is now held and
recalls the recent fum1 nations against such iberaty from prominent
men of both England and America. Less than twenty-five years ago
it was argued through the newspapers and the periodicals of both
countries that the deviation of male lecturers in girls schools was
most unseemly," that nothing but the strongest necessity could
recommend such a custom"
When the higher education of women first became an aghated
question, a popular suggestion was advanced in England and looked
upon with favor by Americans; that GIRLS SHOULD BE
TAUGHT BY WOMEN ONLY was unquesdoned, and it was ar
gued that these wome n SHOULD form a sisterhood, the requirements
of which would necessitae "a certain proficiency in French, botany
and enough chemistry TO. kitchen lore"
One Of the first nen Of letters to cry out against co-education
was a Frenchman. E4is objection was that the new system would
render women "cod aad moral instead of tender and amiable."
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED AMERICAN COLLEGES HAD
THROWN OPEN TIER DOORS TIC WOMEN WHEN OK
FORD AND CAMBRIDGE FIRST GRUDGINGLY ADMITTED
THEM TO THEIR EXAMINA TIONS, hitherto conducted for men
not members of the university. 1t was then stipulated that the wom-
ems examinations shoJIldbe given under the chaperonage OF a COM
mttee of ladies'.
In the United States coeducaton is conceded to be for the moral
and mental welfare of students. America is more liberal in the edu-
cation OF her girls tn an any other country, with the exception of
Switzerland, where women have been admitted to the universities
since 1864. H OIL DC0NTENTION THAT SUCH LIBERAL
ASSOCIATION LEADS TO HASTY AND IMMATURE MAR
RIAGES AND UNHAPPY SENTIMENTAL FANCIES HAS
BEEN ANSWERED. BY CONTRADICTORY FACTS. "The
routine Of everyday Ii fe and mutual labor over the same problems
appeals to the Judgment rather than the fancy" said a professor Of
Oberin college.
In an article by tI1e ntnta Euaie of Spain, appearing in a cur
rent periodical, appreciation Of the liberal educational system comes
from an unexpected s omce She says: Perhaps it is coeducation
that gives American 81 rlsther great moral courage Naturally, how

ever, The Spanish lady discovers a drop OF tar
in the bucket Of homes, as the Russian prov
erb has it. While admitting the benefits de-
rived by American girls from their free asso-
citation with their bro Tiers, she points out a
"pushfulness Of character" which may also be
a result Of the college for men ami women.
Perhaps when cir Is are admitted as free
ly to the social and Patriotc affairs of their
alma mater as to the drudgery and hard
work OF the class rooms, this self-assertion
or "pushfulness' will be obviated. THEY
