a matter for congratulation, as educa- tion, up to the present, has not received great help from the Predikanten, or Dutch ministers, and many of the false reports circulated in camp in refer ence to the conduct of the school can be traced to them. When the parents have returned to their farms and once again come under the influence of their ministers it remains to be seen whether that influence will not again be used against system of education which musC tend to reduce the somewhat auto cratic power and political and personal ir fluence of the Dutch clergy. At 8 time like the present. when the majority of the children are returning with their parents to their respective farms, the difficulties as regards education are enormous, if not insurmountable for the time being. Most of the children are now able to understand and read Eng

ETTER DAYS AHEAD.

Perhaps we shall not always have to ment of our water powers, the Electri- cal Review thinks, that electrical methods have done the most good for the public in recent times and promise best for the future. Not until we had brought these into their present highly advanced condition, 1t says, have we been able to utilize to the fullest ex- tent these hydraulic sources of energy
 Now we are able to avail ourselves of waterfalls, transform the hydraulic en- ergy into electrical energy, transmit this to great distances and retransform into useful forms of energy-mechani- cal, light or heat. In just the extent in which we develop our water powers shall we be independent of the coal supply. By this means we can perform all our mechanical work, light and heat our buildings and replace to large ex- teill lHe luel Ill our many IOFLnS or Iur- mace. All the heat required for these could be supplied electrically The proper use of our coal supplies, says the Review, Ifs to preserve them entirely for heating and reducing agents in chemical processes, using water power for all other purposes Under excep- tional conditions coal might be used to

Labor leaders are n1ysteriously active, and the talk Is that they may be going to be good and mind the President Whether they are or not, it is evident that some of their subjects in Pennsylvania will have to behave better. Governor Stone has at last seen his duty, and has done it. He has ordered out the entire dlvis- ion of the National Guard of Pennsyl- vania, and the coal operators will now have the protection, they want, for if Pennsylvania can't give 1t the United States will be called oR for help.
 The next few days Win be highly in- teresting. The operators say they can work their mines If they have protec- tion. and if they are right the mines will soon be worked, and the great coal strike and panic will be over.

NO DEMOCRATIC REYTvAL.

Those who study the returns from the town elections in Connecticut yester- day to discover signs of Democratic revival will not find them. They are not there. Of course the town elections don't always show which way the political wind is blowing, but when 122 of the 162 towns which voted yesterday go Republican, and when a gain Is shown of four towns over the Republi- can record of 1901 it is\ pretty evident that though there is a good deal of Democratic wind blowing it hasn't turned the weathervane yet.
 It will be less than a month before the big election comes off. Things will have to change more than they now seem likely to for the Democrats to find any more pleasure in that day than they can find in yesterday. They are poor cantankerous critters, and they are more to be censured than pitied, be- cause they act so that they don't de- serve success.

The number of voters in Chicago in 1900 was 511,04S, of whom 237, ,6sS were native born and 273,36O of foreign birth. Of the native white vot CTS 103,674 were of native percentage and 1,SO4 of foreign percentage. Thus it appears that of the 511,04S voters 395,- 164 are of foreign birth or percentage, and only 111,SS4 of native percentage. The latter does not include 13,6OS negro voters.

4 MTSSo URI LANDHOLDFR.

John S. Bilby, of Quitman, Missouri
 will have some land if be keeps on add ing to his real estate possessions. He
 owns at least 35,000 acres of highly val uable land in Nodaway and Atchison counties, Missouri. He has 10000 or 15,OO0 acres in Nebraska. He has big tract, embracing 35,00O or 10000 acres, in Arkansas. He owns land in five
 other states. Still he is not satisfied
 Recently he has been getting control of
 some immense tracts in the Indian Ter
 rftory. The Fairfax Forum says he has leased 95,000 acres there already, and that he is determined to add 30,000 more to the sum. On a conservative esti-
 mate, he already owns or has leased 1S0,000 acres, and he expects to have
 more than 200, 900 acres before he closes
 pending deals.
 There are ranch companies and syn- dicates which can make bigger show ing than this, but probably no one per- son. MT. Bilby has lived in Missouri for many years, going there from New Jersey. Although. he is nearly seventy
 years old he spends most of his time on
 horseback riding over his lands. His Northwest Missouri holdings are all
 rented lon shares" It has been sug-
 gested to MT. RiIby that leasing Indian lands may involve him fin legal difficult ties, but this only makes him laugh
 He is of an exceedingly 1itigous disposi- ton, and it is doubtful if there has been a time in forty years when he has not
 been involved in from one to dozen
 lawsuits.

The chief demand is for or dinary laborers. Not only is there call for workers in the city. but requests also come from all parts of Kansas and Missouri for farm help. On the other hand, the supply of clerks, bookkeepers and stenographers appears to exceed the demand.

Tn Sweden a committee was recently appointed by the government for the purpose of ascertaining how many hours children of various ages ought to sleep in order that they might be able to study properly. According to the report forwarded to the minister of ed ueation, children who are four years old should sleep twelve hours; children who are seven years old, eleven hours; children who are nine years old, from nine to ten hours, and those who are from fourteen to twenty-one years old, from nine to ten hours. It further points out that anaemia and weakness in children are frequently due to lack of sleep.

At Hillswick, in Shetland, 166 whales were recently driven ashore and slaugh- tered on the beach. In the autumn great shoals of whales frequent the coasts of the islands. They range in size from seven to twenty-five feet. The fishermen went off in their boats and succeeded in driving the whales on to the beach, where amid great excite ment the huge creatures were dispatch ed by means of long knives, harpoons and other weapons. The whales yield ed about sixty tons of oil, or about $500, to the captors. It was formerly cus- tom for the proprietor on whose lands such whales were driven to claim one third of the proceeds. This claim was often resisted, and in 1889 the court in a test case declared the exaction iIle- gal.

How the Cobra Gives Warning.

The most dangerous reptiles of India
and Africa are the cobras. No snakes,
not even rattlesnakes, are more dread
ed, and with reason. AS the rattle
snake warns the ear by its significant
rattle" so the cObras warn the eye by
the mode in which they expand the up
per part of the body when irritated.
This expansion is produced by a sud
den movement of the ribs of that re
giOn of the body. Usually they incline
backward, but the animal when irritat-
ed makes them stand out at right an
gles to the body and so, Of course,
forces outward the skin which covers
them. Thus the neck, or part just be-
hind the head, becomes greatly eX-
panded and flattened, as it also does,
though in a less degree. in the Austria
liam blaCksnake.
This expansion is called a hood, and
so the animals are called hooded
snakes In some of them there is on
the back Of the hood a dark mark,
something like a pair Of spectacles, and
they have therefore been called specta-
Gle snakes.

The ruby is valued highest when it
contains the least azure. The largest
ruby that history speaks of belonged to
Elizabeth of Austria, the wife Of
Charles IT- 1t was almost as big as a
hens egg. The virtues attributed to
rubies are to Danish sadness, to repress
luxury and to drive away annoying
thoughts. At the same time it SYM
boIizes cruelty. anger and carnage, as
well as bOldness and bravery. A change
in its color announces a calamity, but

EFFECTS OF VIBRATION.
Wounds Have Heen Healed by Sound
Waves of "a Violin.

waves Oh ~ AOAAns
A man was conveyed to a hospital
in Paris suffering from an accident
which resulted in a serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and all
the various treatments applied to it
failed to effect the desired end. The
man was attacked from time to time
by violent parOXysms, and death ap-
peared certain. At length the surgeon
enlisted the services of a good violin
player and treated the sufferer to a
musical remedy. The patients parOx-
ysms ceased, and from that time the
wound began to heal. The violin play
ing was continued at intervals till re
cOvery was assured.
In another case the wOupd continued
to sUppurate despite all that could be
done. The patient was calm and re-
signed, but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
reQuisitiOn in this instance also, and
the instrument was played close to the
injured part, which was barred for the
purpose The surgeon soon observed
change The wound assumed a
healthier appearance, and the process
of healing began and progressed rap
idly.
1t is an undOubted fact that certain
vibrations can effect cures, but the vi
brations must be strictly in accord
anco with the malady or nature of the
wound. Some enthusiasts so so far as
to assert that the character of individ-
uaIs can be changed by the constant
application of the proper vibration
