In the matter Of contempt the Su-
preme court of Kansas has ruled very
differently from that of Missouri
which recently imposed a heavy fine
for contempt editorial. In an
opinion rendered in 1887 Justice
Brewer said: mo judge, no court,
high or low is beyond the reach Of
public and individual criticism. Az
ter case is disposed Of, a court or
judge has no power to compel the
the public, or any individual thereof,
attorney or otherwise, to consider his
rulings correct, his conduct proper,
or even his integrity free from stain,
or to punish for contempt any mere
criticism or animadverSiOn thereon,
no matter how severe or unjust.
Nor do we wish to be understood as
expressing any opinion as to the pow
er to punish others than attorneys
and officers Of the court, for language
or conduct even while the matter is
pending and undetermined. Wheth-
er the same rules and considerations
apply to them or not, we do not care
TO inquire. Such is not the case be-
fore us; and to this case alone do our
remarks apply"

Many valuable suggestions were
offered.
The subject of "Current Events"
was discussed BYE, H. Baker, r. G..
Mccormick, Supt. BrookenS and Supt.
Arnold. Each teacher should keep
posted on events transpirng at the
present time and arouse in her pupils
a desire to keep abreast Of the times
by reading current events.
In the afternoon II. II. Calfee read
a paper on "How Keep Pupils Inter
ested During Transitional Period"
bringing out some good thoughts on
this subject which is problem most
teachers have had to deal with. The
subject was thoroughly discussed by
Mrs Ada Dye, II. P. BaSquin, W. r.
Arthur, +. II. Baker, j. B. Edwards
and Rev. G. H. Woodward.

regarding the employment by that COM

My shepherds crook is fashioned out

And there's no sheep-dog in the world

walls shift of my fold,
No upland, no lowland my lambing

From the cry of their shepherd, the
reckoning of his hand,
For my own desert places they leave
the pasture-land.
With wild white feeces surging about
me to my knee,
go about my herding, the Shepherd
of the Sea;
call to the rock pastures the white
sheep of the waves,
For they but find their grazing where
sailors find their graves.
/ am mighty shepherd, and mighty

in the sky;
And when the moon is waning on
sheltered shore and lee,

MR.. PARSoNS'S TRACK.

When William B. Parsons, chief en-
gineer of the New York rapid transit
commission, was a young man he was
set rebuilding a piece of railroad
track. Arthur Goodrich in the World S
Work tells what happened when Mr..
Parsons, Sr., accompanied his son on
a trip over the division. When the
young supervisor told him about the
bad condition of the track, he said
that he thought it remarkably smooth
and solid.
"Oh, but this is the part | have re-
built" his son explained. We'll
come to the end of it in minute and
then you'll. notice the difference"
Before his father had time to reply
the train was thrown from the track
by the breaking of driving wheel of
the locomotive and landed upside
down at the bottom of a fourteen-foot
embankment. Father and son found
themselves seated opposite each other,
unhurt, on the ceiling of the car.
There, what did tell your re-
marked young Parsons quietly.
Yes, son, it Is rougher," his father
admitted readily.

April, and the entire tract was richly
fertilized. The ground was plowed
and narrowed, the soil pulverized, and
the entire tract sowed to COW peas.
This crop not only enriches the soil,
but prevents the growth of weeds. and
will render the subsequent blowing un-
necessary. AS the crops to be grown
will be required to be planted at in
tervals up to a short time before the
opening of the exposition further plow-
ing would prove impracticable When
an exhibit is ready to be installed the
gardeners simply pull up the cow peas
covering the space required. The
ground is found to be in receptive con-
dition and requires but little work
upon it. The monster map is, of
course, the main feature of this COM
prehensive exhibit, and the crop
grown on this small farm will cost the
government considerably more than
$1,000 per acre. A belt of blue grass
lawn 20 feet wide establishes the
boundary and coast lines of this gigan-
tic map. The boundary lines be-
tween the states are marked by cinder
paths. The territory comprising the
fourteen states and territories Of the
Louisiana purchase is marked by a
white gravel walk. The states are
to be planted in growing crops of the
principal agricultural products of the
state. The cinder and gravel walks
serve as promenades.. Thus labyrinth
OF passageways is created and the visi-
tor may wend his way through the
maze and see by actual demonstration
just what crops are grown in every
part of the United States and how they
are raised. The cereals will be the
features of the great northwest, while
down in Florida will be seen growing
the pineapple and orange and other
semi-tropical fruits and crops. To-
bacco will be a prominent feature of
Kentucky's allotment, while sugar
cane and cotton will be found growing
in the plots of ground representing
other southern states. Not only will
the products of each state be shown
on this map by growing crops, but
the section of the state on which each
commodity is most grown will be
shown. In the state of Washington
the map shows that wheat, corn, DO
atoes, hay and the wild grasses that
thrive in the semi-arid districts are
more largely grown in the eastern por-
ton, while in the west hay, clover,
vetches, timothy, orchard hay and
grasses, hops, strawberries and black
berries are more grown Thus on the
small plot of ground that represents
one great state will be found score
of different crops growing. There will
be no actual dividing line between
the growing crops, though in the cases
of the various grasses, wheat, barley
and buckwheat, the line is as dis
tinctively drawn by wave of color as
is the line that divides the muddy
waters of the Mississippi from those
of the comparatively clear Ohio at
the junction of the two rivers at Cairo.
