LIGHT THE STREETS.

The progress of the city of cald-
well along the line of modern civ
ilization is not altogether symmet-
rical. In one respect the move
ment is hating and retrogressive.
Some years ago an advance step
was taken in the matter Of light
ing the streets by night. 1t was
creditable to the spirit of progress
which struggled in the heart Of the
budding city. Then came the
waterworks, a demonstration OF
gathering and increasing patriotic
energy. The most recent and
commendab1e demonstration o t
spirit is manifest in cement side
walks, but the light which shone
BY night is dimmed and growing
DINNER. A respectable lightning
bug might scorn it as puny, spas
modic flicker. The street lights
have fallen into darkness and de-
cay, and why for?
1t is limited that the old gasoline
lanterns are all out of whack, ant
refuse to emit. If that be true
they should be discarded and re
placed by electric lamps. But, they
say, that is too expensive. Thu
Power Company demands too higl
a price. We do not know any
thing about that; but if true VIII!
not attach dynamo to the water
works engines, and run city cleo

now advocating municipal owner
ship, but offer this suggestion TO
consideration. The point is tina
the town needs street lighting, AM
something should be done to SUP
ply the need.

SOMETHING WRONG
SCHOOLS.
WITH

A high class eastern journal has
come to the conclusion that there is
something fundamentally wrong
with the present day public
school system of education. A
great many thoughtful people had
suspected as much for long time,
and we believe that the time is near
at hand when there must be
thorough investigation and over
hauling of the entire public school
machinery.
In former days the public school
teacher was rated according to his
ability to impart useful informa-
ton. He was looked up to by the
community not only as learned
man but as a wise one. He knew
nothing of the science of pedagogy,
but had a way of his own of teach"
ing boys and girls the things which
as men and women it would be use
full for them to know. His meth
dds were simple and straightfor'
ward, and when a boy left school,
at 16, he did not know many things
but the things he did know be
knew pretty we'll and needed in his
every day business.
In these days, thanks to the
science of pedagogy, the least i'm
portant function of teaching i!
imparting information. The teach
er's business is to train and develop
the pupils intellect. The end Il

Democrat. 1t may be argued that
the epithet which Norman hurried
at the Judge was disproportionately
strong. That depends a great deal
on the point of view. Judge Fogg'
the favorite candidate of the sheep
men. for instance, seems to think
that "oficial CRATER" is much
milder term of reproach than I'M
pecunious Democrat" and Judge
Fogg is a man of wide official and
political experience and sound dis
elimination. He is also a Demo
crat. 1t is difficult to trace the re-
lationship of this exchange OF cour-
tesies to the administrative policy
of the State Land Board, but Demo
crat editors appear to have dlscov'
cred some sort of connection anc
deserve great praise for their re
markable insight.
But as it has been satisfactorily
shown that the State Land Boart

that it would be but an ordinar!

scotIand,s Round Towers.

Scotland boasts of two round towers,
said to be stragglers from the great
typical group found in Ireland. The
one is attached to the handsome cathe-
dral of Brechin and the other stands in
the center of Abernethy, near the en-
trance gate to the churchyard. The
Brechin tower, built in six irregular
courses and rising over 100 feet, is the
more perfect of the two. 1t dates from
Kenneth's reign, 971-95, and has a most
graceful appearance. Pennant in his
history speaks of having, in 1T72, found
handsome bells within its walls. These
were afterward removed and now hang
in a neighboring steeple The origin of
these towers is now somewhat doubt
full, but arch9ologists are generally
agreed that they were built in connec-
ton with churches ''for defense and
faithfulness of watch" during the
Norseman raids. They were afterward
used as belfries, the Brechin tower hav-
ing done duty as such for generations.
The tower is now one of the sights of
the ancient town and is regarded as
memorial of its early Connection with
Scottish-American.

CObweb Pills,

In New England cobweb pills are
supposed to cure the ague, and in the
south certain knuckle bone in a pigs
foot is sure cure for rheumatism If 1t
be carried in the pocket or worn sus-
pended from a string around the neck.
Tracing the spider web pill, it origi-
mated in China, where all species of in
sects have certain positive or negative
values in medicine. In Peking it is
customary to give two or three scor-
pions or spiders to patient i'll of fever.
In Ireland the peasantry swallow small
spiders alive to effect cures. From
these the cobweb pill of the New Eng
land native was easy. In Flanders the
live spider is fastened into the empty
shell of a walnut and worn around the
neck Of the patient. AS the creature
dies the fever decreases until it is gone
entirely.-Rochester Post-Express.

Some survivaIs of Fashion.

Man is unQuestionably a highly ra-
tional being. Still, if you travel and
observe, from the mouth of the Danube
to the Golden Gate you will find most
men wearing coat with useless col
lar marked with a useless V shaped
slash and decorated with two useless
buttons at the small of the back and
one or two more useless buttons at the
cuffs. The collar, the slash and the
buttons are there in answer to no
rational need. 1t is not a common eli
mate nor common racial need of pro-
lection against climate that they repre-
sent, but a common civilization whose
form and ritual they mutely confess.
Over this entire area those who aspire
to be of the Brahman caste deck their
heads for wedding, funeral and feast
with black cylindrical covering, suit
ed, so far as we can discern, neither to
avert the weapon of the adversary or
the dart of the rain nor to provide a
seat whereon man may sit and rest
himself. And as for the women con-
tanned within this same area we behold
that the amplitude Of the sleeve, the
disposition of the belt and the outline
of the skirt all obey the rise and fall
of one resistless tide which neither
moon nor seasons control-Benjamin

HUMoR IN HORSES.
story of an Animal That Has More
Than It's Share.

Only those who are unfamiliar with
animals doubt that they have a sense
Of humor. Jimmy is lively road
horse who has ideas of his own and
very original conceptions of what is
amusing. One day the children had
erected small tent ON lie lawn and
sat within it drinking lemonade and
playing that they were banditti. jim
my walked softly up to the side Of the
tent and slowly inserted his nose
through q convenient slit, says Our
Dumb Animals. Eyes and ears fol-
lowed and, his head once within at the
back of the unsuspicious revelers, jim
my gave one tremendous sneeze of that
kind which is half a snort.
The banditti fell back in every direc-
tion, and the horse, withdrawing from
the tent, laughed silently to himself be-
fore going back to his grass cropping.
Jimmy's favorite amusement is that of
scattering a flock of sheep. When he is
feeding with them in the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashes
among them, sending them scudd!ng
ing them until they again settle to their
nibbling and after short luncheon Of
his own repeats the pleasing diversion.
Although this horse is the gentlest crea-
ture in the world, 1t pleases him ex-
ceedingly to frighten any one who has
shown timidity in his presence.
Jimmy's two mistresses harness him
without trouble or danger, but he de
lights in alarming one girl cousin who
visits at the house. Sundry fidgetings
and nervous starts of her own were
enough to show Jimmy of what man
ner and temperament she was, and he
is merciless in taking advantage of
that knowledge. If she enters the sta
bic where he stands accepting the har-
ness in the most docile manner, he
opens his mouth, showing a wicked
row of teeth, and makes a feint of snap
ping at her She shrieks, his mistress
scoldS and reasons with him, and jim
my apparently is then repentant.

The Changed Grizzly.

There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly bears having attacked
men, but nowadays the grizzly does not
seek out his human victims, as there
are credible statements that his fore
fathers used to do. Neither does he
lie in wait and, pouncing upon hunt
er, tear him into bloody shreds in de-
lighted fiendishness, as the old time
stories used to tell. The change in the
grizzly's disposition is likened by vet
eran hunters to the change in the char
acter Of the white cousin of the grizzly,
the polar bear of the arctics. When
the stations for the Hudson Bay COM
pany were established, the diaries of
the men there often referred to the
fright of attacks by polar bears. Many
navigator in the arctic seas has been
clawed and chewed to death by polar
bears. But for nearly a century the
polar bear has not been regarded as so
very fierce, and nowadays it is looked
upon as cowardly beast. Association
with armed men has modified the polar
bears sposition.-Outing.

FACTS ABOUT FEET.

The typical Irish foot is fiat, rather
broad and not usually long.
The Frenchman's foot is proverbially
long, narrow and well proportioned.
The Scotchman's foot is high and
thick, strong, muscular and capable of
hard work.
The Tartar's foot is short and heavy,
the foot of certain type of savage
and the toes are all the same length.
The Englishman's foot is in most
cases short and rather tieshy and moi
as a rule as strong as proportionately II
should be.
The Russians foot possesses at least
one popularity which is worth motto
ing. The toes are generally "webbed
to the first joint.
The Spaniard's foot is generally
small and, thanks to the Moorish blood
which flows in the veins of most Span
iards, elegantly curved.
The latest measurements seem to
show that America is in the process of
developing q race with the smallest
feet among all the civilized nations.
The Teutonic and Scandinavian ma,
tions appear to have the largest feet,
Swedes, Norwegians and Germans
standing in this respect at the head OF
the list.
The Arabs foot is famous for its
high arch, whereby true Arab may,
indeed, always be known, the Koran
saying that a stream of water can run
under the foot without touching it.

Ten Men and "A Safe.

In the subbasement of one of our biz
life insurance companies is a safe so
large that theatrical company might
perform therein. There are three doors,
the combinations of whose locks are
controlled by ten men. Each man, g
high official of the company, is an In
tegral part of the integral whole. In In
stance: Five men are required to open
the outer door, each knowing a fifth
part Of the entire combination and no
more. A, having set the gatings In his
combination, is followed in turn by B,
G, D and e, when the bolt may be
moved. In the same manner the second
door is opened by three men in combi-
nation and the third by two, in the lat
ter case each being In combination
with one or more of the other eight on
the outer and second doors. The safe Is
regarded as safe.-New York Press.

Nelson's Only Defeat.

Nelson, like all the greatest COM
manders on sea or land, made his mis-
takes and his failures, but there is only
one instance on record of his having
been actually defeated in direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz, in
the Canary islands, on July "a, 1891.
The place was very strongly fortified,
and Nelson, in the face of fire of fifty
guns from the batteries, attempted to
storm the town by boats. The attempt
was frustrated by the strength of the
mole and the nonappearance of land
force which should have co-operated.
A hundred and fifty men were killed
and a hundred wounded on the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the cathedral of
Santa Cruz.

wit of Horne Tooke.

1t is said that Horne Tooke, who ex-
celled in that duellike controversy ex-
hibited by two disputants when pitted
against each other with only the
breadth of mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, it was with a smiling
countenance and without seeming ef-
fort or emotion. Replying to a man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, ''Pray tell me how many acres
does 1t take to make a wiseacreY'
When asked by George III. whether he
ever played cards, he replied, 81 can
not, your majesty, tell king from a
knave." What can be more uniquely
comic than his saying to his brother:
you and l, my dear brother, have in
verted the laws of nature. You have
risen in the world by your gravity, and
have fallen by my levityT"- Saturday

THE TURKISH WOMAN.
Her Friday Excursions on the Sweet
Waters of Asia.

vi Anil.
Friday is the only day on which
Turkish women enjoy a little liberty
and release from the dreadful seclusion
in which they are always kept, and
they are not slow to avail themselves
of the chance. On Fridays every one
goes to the Sweet Waters of Asia,
which consist of a small river running
about two miles inland, with trees and
meadows on each side. Hundreds of
boats assemble and glide up and down
the river. Every boat or caique has
two or more Turkish ladies on board.
The sight is Il very fine one, as each
private caique is most carefully got
up, and the boatmen wear brilliant liv-
cries to match the cushions and the
long embroidered cloth which hangs
over the stern and trails in the water.
The khedivah of Egypt is one of the
finest, in crimson and gold, embroid-
cred with crowns and fishes. Besides
the liveries the parasols make a won
derful show, and here may be seen all
the latest Partisan creations. The la
dies must not speak to men, but the
careful observer can frequently catch
sight of wells lowered or other signal
given when a particular boat is pass
ing, and habitual frequenters can point
out boats which are sometimes close to
each other. 1t is very innocent di-
version and would not satisfy western
ladies. An hour before sunset the po-
lice boats appear and force all women
to leave.-London Telegraph.

The worlds Largest Crab.

How would you like to have a crab
like this squeezing your toe when you
go bathing? The gigantic japanese
crab, measuring twelve feet, is proba-
bly, the largest crustacean in the world
The specimen is a type Of the spider
crab, which inhabits the waters of the
group of islands forming the empire
of Japan. The body portion is the size
of half bushel measure. while its
two great arms or "feelers" could cas-
lily encircle the figure of a man. Its
eight arms or legs resemble huge
bamboo poles and are extremely elas-
tic, and If strung into one line they
would reach to the top of four story
apartment building. One of the ex-
traordinary peculiarities of this crab
is the faculty of assuming a disguise
by affixing pieces of seaweed and
sponges to the body.

WRITING TIE SERMON.

FRIDAY Is the Minister'S Day For
Performing This Task.
Probably few of the good people who
hsten with rapt attention to the :,
mon which Is preached to them each
Sunday. says the Denver Post, know
that for nearly 800 years Friday has
been the time honored day for the pas
Tor to go Into his study, write the SER
mon which is to furnish food for
thought to the congregation on the
Following Sunday. In speaking of this
custom clergyman says:
When Christianity was first promul-
gated, all preaching was done extern
poraneNusly. Such a thing as prepar-
ing sermon was unknown. Many
gifted men expressed their views on
varfousf subjects, then added a few
words OF good advice to their listeners.
This practice is still continued in the
Roman aIathOlic church of the present
day, and l think that very limited
number of the priests ever write a ser
mon. Not all ministers, however. ad-
here to this rule by any means. When
Henry Ward Beeeher was asked on
what ;iy he prepared his sermon, he
replied, On Sunday morning, of
course
well, Mr.. Beecher, don't you think
that is a rather dilatory habit for you
to get intoT asked another.

The Certainty of Fate.

The Mohammedans have a fable
which they repeat to illustrate the GER
tainty of fate. The Philadelphia Times
quotes it as having been told by Mr..
Robert Barr, the celebrated novelist.
A sultan was once asked by his ia
vorite, the grand vizier. for permission
to leave at once for Smyrna, although
a brilliant court fete was then in prog
ress. Upon being asked his reason for
such haste the vizier replied:
Because Just saw the angel of
death yonder in the crowd. He looked
at me so earnestly that know he has
come for me. 1 wish to escape him."
Go! Go at oncew said the sultan,
who then beckcned to the angel and
asked why the latter had looked so
earnestly at the viZier.

His Friend GeoTrey.

The following story, told by the
Washington Post, leads us to wonder
which to condemn first, the boaster or
his critics. 1t concerns a certain man
who has large collection of auto
graphs.
Indeed, the envy and sometimes the
skepticism of his friends have been ex-
cited by the number of successful au-
thors who have set down familiar and
fiattering inscriptions In his books.
Some carpers have even gone so far
as to hint darkly at a similarity of
handwriting throughout the collection.
He recently purchased a rare edition
of Chaucer, and one evening when a
party was gathered at the house the
precious book was passed from hand
to hand. The owner lost sight of it,
but the next morning he found it lying
on his library table.
On the fly leaf was inscribed:
ITO Jack -. from his old friend and
schoolmate. Gcof Chaucer."
