ALL. IS YET SERENE.
One Contractor Signs the Scale and
Others Are M~editating.

Others Are Meditatfng.
Nothing happened yesterday to mar the
serenity of the carpenters strike and no at
tempts were made by either side to hold
another conference. Three or four more
contractors signed the scale during the
day. bringing the total UP TO about twenty
five. One of these men, who is regarded
as one of the best contractors in the city,
went to carpenters headquarters and voIun-
tarily signed. He said he had held off
thinking that a general settlement might
be made by the conference committees, but
as there was no Indication OF an early ad-
justment and he wanted to get to work he
would sign.
The carpenters have not noticed any evil
dence of an attempt being made TO import
men to take their places. Tit soliciting
committees are at work visiting the con-
tractors and trying to get them to sign the
scale individually. At the meeting of union
No. PSI, the English speaking union and the
larger of the two, last night the same posi-
tive stand was taken as at the beginning
or the strike against receding from the de-
mand for a minimum scale of 372 cents an
hour. The General Contractors Associa-
ton has done nothing in the way of Offering
a compromise, although il is limited that
it would be willing TO accept a minimum
scale OF 80 cents.
The carpenters are complaining that the
contractors are going to the newspapers
with open letters 10 the public presenting
their side of the case. They assert that
these letters are misleading. and to give
both sides a fair show in setting their argu-
ments before the public they will ask that
the executive sessions Of the conference
committee be abolished and reporters ad-
mitted to hear discussions of the wage
scale. This will be a new departure, as all
previous sessions of the joint mmi
Of the union and association have been
secret and the proceedings, except the final
result, guarded in every detail. The car
penters argue that labor unions are fast
abolishing executive sessions of joint meet
ings when wage scales are discussed and
that an open meeting will give both sides
a fair show

Home from a SanatOrium.

thus helps in cooling and purifying the
blood which IS laden with poisonous prin-
clrles, the result of congestion, of which
the fever is a symptom. If you object
to alcohol you may aid nature by TAX
ing tablespoonful, in water, of the So
luton of acetate of ammonia, or spirit of
Minderorus, as it is sometimes popularity
called, but to have any effect this must
be freshly made: it is not a preparation
than can be kept in stock as a domestic
remedy. but must be bought as needed.
Tor an aperient the solution of citrate
of magnesia is most palatabIe and gen
tie one, but this also must be freshly
prepared by the druggist. If there is
considerable fever and pain or soreness
a ten grain bowers powder may be taken
at bedtime, and as the fever subsidies on
tie following days take two to four
grains of quinine three times a day to
control the feverish condition and as a
tonic. If the prostration is great and the
occupation will allow it is better to re-
main at home in warm room for sew
eral days or perhaps in bed, for there
is danger that the disease may be in
be melted of more serious character; in
fact, much of the fatality from the grippe
comes from exposure during the exist
ence of the fever and thereby set ng UP
pneumonia.
There is another method Of curing the
grippe, and an ordinary cold as well,
which was, [ believe, suggested by an
English physician, DR.. G.. J. B. Williams.
In inflammation of the mucous mem
branes of the nose and throat, due to
congestion, there is always a catarrh, a
running of fluid from the membranes, and
this fluid is acrid and irritating so that
1t keeps up the Inflammation and irrita-
ton. Drinking freely of tea, lemonade,
Cruel etc, promotes perspiration and is
therefore good in a fever, but 1t also
increases the flow from the infamed
mucous membranes, and while it dimin-
isnes the acrimony of the fluid does not
remove it entirely. DR.. Williams meth
cd is to refrain from taking any fluid for
a period of from thirty-six to forty-eight
hours, thus reducing the quantity of fluid
in the body to such an extent that it can
no longer supply the diseased secretion
This not only relieves the catarrh but
prevents the cough which often follows
catarrh. To begin with, Seidlitz powder
or the solution of citrate of magnesia
may be given and little sweet spirits of
nitre or some other simple remedy to in
duce perspiration. Tken no fluid is to
be taken until the drying up of the ca
tarrh. In about twelve hours there will
be noticeable diminution In the amount
and Hquidity, and at most in forty-eight
hours the secretion will have ceased.
Then fluids should be resumed in small
quantities at first. The suffering from

VA YHERE FEEBLE MIND
W. ED CHILDREN ARE
v W TAUGHT. ~ - ~

The state school for the feebleminded
at Faribault. though the last of the three
state schools to be established there, is
by far the most important in size, ex-
tent and number of inmates.
To this school for the training of fee
bleminded children, which is one of the
finest and most advanced in the United
States, belongs the credit of several
important innovations Among other
new departures this school was the first
in the Union, probably in the world to
create a regular training course for
nurses and attendants to the feeble
minded superintendent of such insti-
tutions had long complained that train
ed nurses and assistants for this kind of
work were not obtainable, either for the
institutions themselves or for private
patients The ordinary trained nurse,
though she shines in her own particular
field, has not the requisite special train
ing and knowledge for this peculiar kind
of work.
The institution at Faribault which to-
day consists of a number of handsome
buildings, and a farm colony, began its
existence in the large frame house call
ed in Faribault the Gilmore house, which
was partially burned last year. This is
on Second street, and nearly a mile and
half south Of the present site.
Like the school for the blind, the
school for the feeble-minded is an Off
spring of the school for the deaf and
followed the other two in logical and
historical sequence. It's history, so far
as its origin goes, is simple. The direc-
tors of the school for the deaf found

it has lately been introduced into one of
the insane asylums with equally success

to the insane women. A good deal of

the first object is not to establish a lace
factory, but to teach the feeble-1ninded
something that will develop them men
tally, and at the same time occupy them
happily. In the long glass cases in the
corridors, the lace, brushes, hammered
brass, fine sewing, and some striking
carved panels in light and dark woods
made fine showing for the manual de-
partments.
The school work for those who are able
to pass out Of the kindergartens begins
in the usual way with primary work,
primer and first reader, writing, telling
time, counting money, etc, but in addi-
ton to the ordinary studies special atten-
ton is paid to articulation, which for
many of these children is crying need
as drawing and Slurring pronunciation
are almost a characteristic of the feeble
minded. In the most advanced classes,
fourth reader work, United States history,
geography, physiology, ETC., are taught.
Even in the custodia a school is main
tanned, so that those who appear the
most hopeless may have an opportunity
of improving, if they can But here
they are divided into two classes, on
quite another principle. First there are
those who require the same care and
attention as an infant; second, those who
are physically strong, and who are ca
pable of some mental training, but lack
in judgment and moral perception. It is
this latter class, who, if permitted to go
out into the world, and to fall in with
low associates, help to swell the ranks
of the most dangerous criminal class.
Music is not neglected, and the band
master, w. H. Holden, besides instruct
ing the pupils separately, conducts an
orchestra consisting of these feeble
minded children. This orchestra which
usually plays at the school entertain
ments, really does remarkably well, and
is source of both pleasure and profit
to the children. From time to time en-
tertainments are given for the amuse-
ment of the children to which the public
is admitted. Last summer a little flower

State School at Fari-
bault Acknowledged
to Be Best in the
United States. D

ant part of the education here, and the
teeble-ninded child, who can be taught
to make something, is held to have made
a distinct advance. Moreover, in a school
for such pupils the best authorities as
sert there must be frequent change from
intellectual to manual training, as pupils
of this description cannot endure long
continued effort of the same kind.
In 1892, kindergarten work was intro
duced and now there are two Of these
departments maintained. In the first the
very simplest things are taught. Some
times, for instance pupil will endeavor,
under the teachers guidance, to throw a
ball into tall waste paper basket, thus
learning direction, the right amount of
force necessary to carry the ball just far
enough, and the coordination of the
muscles and the mental faculties.
The second kindergarten contains the
brightest and most hopeful pupils as
they are usually young, and the younger
the feeble minded child begins the right
training for it's peculiar case the better.
This department also contains these who
have graduated from the first kinder
garten.
Numerous classes in sloyd and shop
work are carried on. In the sloyd depart
ment there are some thirty different
models made, and mechanical drawings of
the same. Among these models are pic
ture frames, ribbon winders, paper knives,
letter openers, windmills and mallets.
One of the most interesting departments
is the manual training, or shop work, as
it is called. Here the simplest work is
the bralding of rope and sewing it over
