CIVIC LEAGUE CREED
st. Paul Women Who Believe in
Their Town,

The programs of the Woman's Civic League
of st. Paul this year are entirely on the sub
1ect of arts and crafts, and each is illustrated
by an appropriate exhibit either of specimens
OF artistic handicraft or of slides. The re-
naming topics Of the year are landscape ar
chtecture in relation to buildings, T. G. Hol-
yoke; metal work; mural decorations; print
ing and book decoration, Miss Olive Long;
leather and bookbindng, Miss Lily Long;
glass, Miss Helen Bronsdon; labor conditions
of women and children in Minnesota. John
O'Donnell, state labor commissioner. PRINT
tive arts and crafts textiles, woodwork pot
terry, and William Morris as a master work
man, were considered earlier in the season.
One of the most important pieces of work UNI
dertaken by the league in the line of arts and
crafts was the manual training exhibition
and demonstration holiday week, during the
annual meeting of the Minnesota Educational
Association.
The league issued a calendar for 1902 that
answers every purpose Of general calendar,
we'll the particular purpose Of a club
manual of reference. 1t is gotten up in ap-
propriately artistic style and found a ready
sale as art gift. On the page with the
calendar for each month are two small draw
ngs by Miss Ellen Wheelock and verses
These are all hits on municipal conditions in
st. Paul. One of the wise members Of the
school board is represented as taking down
exactly alike one of the houses, and saying
as he gazed at it: VI
All schools look alike to me,
One plan will do for three,
Eli set this beside tree
And it'll look well enough, you'll see;
We're in for economee,
An architects superfluitee; ~
ought to know, for I'm one you see;
That's what think, anyhow
All schools look alike to me.
Full page drawings are opposite the leaves
for the months, and these are representa-
lions of the primitive arts, drawn by Miss
Olive Long.
The calendar describes the league as san
organization of women who do things, and
who aim to cooperate with all good people
who are striving to enhance5the beauty Of the
city, upbuild its prosperity and make it a
better place to live in.'' The league has a
very definite program embodied in what is
called it's creed. This is set forth as follows:

Do WE KNOW BEANS:
BY KATHERINE KURTZ

We laugh at the Bostonian's alteration for
the bean pot, but they are not the only devo-
tees to the member Of the pulse family.
Varieties Of beans extremely numerous
in this county and are eaten daily and in
great quantities in various sections far re-
mote from New England. California fur
nishes several varietics-black beans, white
Eeans, brown beans, red and every interme-
date shade, and mottled beans of several
colors. The favorite is the large, light-brown
Mexican bean that, when cooked, are called
frijoles andqeaten with pork and fat, or with
dried beef as in Nicaragua, and called tasajo.
There is no temperate or hot climate which
does not produce some member of this FAM
lily. They may be termed a universal food :
but cannot constitute sole, staple article
OF vegetable diet.
Their Food Value.
There is no doubt that the dietary of the
working classes, which is deficient in ami
NAL heterogeneous foods, and should be well
supplied with hearty material would be great
ly improved and very marked improvement
made In the physical condition of the poorly
fed working classes who must exert physical
strength as well encounter the exposures
OF outdoor occupations, If a greater and more
general liking for the bean pot prevailed out

you rub the sandstone the grains separate, and, no matter how long you rub, there IS always a roughish feel like sandpaper 10 the two pieces. When you rub two pieces or limestone the rubbing produces dust and the surfaces become smoother and smoother, until they are almost like glass. Of the sandstones the commonest Is the old red, which Is best known as brownstone. Thls is the material with which so many living houses are built Next to this is the pale red sandstone, and then come yellow and gray sandstones In some parts of the world there are greenish, buish and black sandstones. but these are very seldom found in the eastern part of the United States. The eoloring comes not from the sand of the rock. but from other substances which arc mixed in with it. The limestones have much larger variety In color and appear ance. They begin at one end with snow- white marble and range to yellow, gray, brown and black. Some are variegated and others mottled. Now and then you run across green marble, red marble and rose marble.
 In selecting pieces of sandstone and lime stone take the fragments from the stoneyard and break them into pieces little larger than an egg. In striking with the hammer you will notice that the limestone gives a clearer ring than the sandstone and breaks In a different way, producing much sharper edges and smoother surfaces. Take speci- men of each different color, have one of the workmen tell you what quarry 1t comes from and write these upon n little label which you paste on one side of tho specimen In this way, in any first-class stoneyard, you can get from 40 specimens upward of sand stones and imestones, which will give a very good idea of those two valuable ma terials.

For those who love rocks and desire 10 study the odd and beautiful minerals which nature strews around with such laNlsh hnhu there is no necessity of taking long journeys or buying m extensive equipment. All that is needed is quick eye, sturdy feet, strong hands and few everyday tools which are to be found in nearly every home. Any boy or girl who desires to go rock hunting needs first something to carry specimens ma small basket or bag is just as good as professional satchel. To break OH pieces or to cnt a stone in half hammer, cold chiseI and kitchen knife make very com plete and serviceable equipment.
 The first place to visit Is stoneyard where housebullders obtain their supplies. Uere are the blocks which come rom the ouarries i'll one place. In another are lhe stones after they have been dressed Dy the stonecutters, and everywhere are pieces and chips of the huge powders, which nave Lnan hrokeu or cut off in trimming the stone. ,a stones and limestones. To the careless oo- server they look alike, but little thought and few experiments will soon snow any one n big difference betwen them. Ihe nrst difference between limestone anu snhu stone Is in the grain. A sandstone IS made m of little grains of sand, which under beat and pressure, have competed very much as boy forces snow together to make A snowball. In a limestone the particlss are much finer and have been brought to- pether more by the action of water, In the form of mud or silt, than in the form of little crystals. When whitewash dries In mai. the solid sediment which remains Ill the pail is the beginning of limestone.
 Another way of showing this difference Is 4o rub two pieces of stone together. when

the scene curtains roll up and down. IL they are painted and tackled on litt'e pole, which will rest across the framework. the same purpose will be accomplished. Leave the scene curtains loose. so they can be moved back and forth or removed entirely, according to the nature of the scene presented.
 After the theatre frame and arch are Joined together place them oR the table or desk. If a table Is used q curtain should be tied around the front, hanging down to the floor, so the audience cannot see the children or people who are directing the play from the rear. Place two high screens or curtains on each side of the table on which you rest the stage frame, and across the top have a curtain. Thus you will close up the bottom, sides and top. so that the audience will see only what is pre- sented on the stage and will see nothing of what Is going on behind the scenes
 Tn operating the toys the persons or chll dren directing the performance should em- ploy little mechanical ingenuity and judgment in order to get good effect. When 1t is desired to stop a toy in the center of the stage a thread should be at taehed to the rear of the toy, and when it runs across the stage to the proper posi- tion the thread should be held from the wings. If some threads are arranged be fore the curtain goes up, with tiny pin hooks In one end so they can be hooked to the toys that are to be stopped on tho stage. much time will be saved in tying threads to the toys. When 1t is desired to have toy pass very slowly across the

The toys can be controlled by strings attached to them and made to pause in the middle of the stage when the action of the play requires it. Today we will explain how to build a theatre where the plays may be given. and will give our readers the first play. which has been especially prepared for the mechanical toys.
