FACES TO THE NORTH.
gerOuS man

Carthage, Mo-, March IL. F.
Garner, pioneer stone quarryman
of Carthage and one of the oldest
Masons IN the state, was buried here
facing the north, though every
other grave in the Carthage GEM
ctery faces to the east. Mr.. Gar
ner put his scientific theories
against tradition and requested that
his remains be buried with the head
to the south, because of the fact that
the earth's electrical currents run
from pole to pole, and while in life
he always obtained greatest rest in
sleep with his head to either the
north or the south. Hence his OBJ
lection to the eternal sleep with face
to the east.

HIS FEAR OF GRAVE ROBBERS.
Aged Macon Man Takes Precautions to
Prevent GhOuls Stealing His
Body.

Macon, Mo-, March 2.-Watts
Johnson, aged o5, was buried at
LaPlata, Macon conuty. There was
nothing out of the ordinary in the
death of Mr.. Johnson, but there
was in the coffin he was buried in.
1t was a heavily constructed steel
case with a patent lock. When the
inner coffin was slipped in and the
cover closed nothing short of blast
of dynamite could open it.
Several months ago, when Mr..
Johnson realized the end was near,
ne selected his coffin and personally
superintended the construction of
the steel case to enclose it. The
case was a massive affair and was
lowered into the grave by means of
ropes and pulleys. Mr.. Johnson's
terror in life was that grave robbers
would open his grave and steal his
body and he had constructed the
steel outer coffin to prevent any
such desecration of his remains.

was a student. In those days the
boys slept in what was termed
"the barracks" and as he slowly
went through each room in the
new steam heated dormitory with
its cheerful, well lighted, we'll
ventilated rooms, arranged in
every respect for the comfort of
the boys, he was almost moved to
tears. To each boy in turn he
gave some wholesome advise, and
spoke again and again of the happy
look on the faces of all the stu
dents in both dormitories, or
wherever he chanced to meet them.

Schools and Teachers.

Oberlin is offering a splendid
course in philosophy, probably
more extensive than that of any
New England college, excepting
Harvard and Yale universities.
Prof. MacLennan, who has had
charge of the pedagogy and
philosophy, will hereafter have
entire charge of philosophy only,
with the title of professor of
philosophy and psychology, and
he will carry the bulk of the work,
President King still having two
courses, one in the theological
seminary and one in the college.
The total enrolment at Oberlin
for the first half-year is 1443, a
gain of 6l over last years total
figures. There will be a larger
graduating class at Oberlin than
ever before and in every depart
ment of the college the number
enrolled is the greatest in its his
tory, which is very satisfactory to
the friends of the Ohio college.

A Sensible View.

A practical woman remarked the
other day that the most interesting
things in the newspapers to her are
the advertising columns. "Long
ago." said she, 81 quit buying of
those who did not advertise. 1t
always seems to me that the mer-
chant who advertises invites me to
trade with him; while the one who
does not impresses me with the
fact that he doesn't care enough
for my trade to ask for it. Then,
too, l have found that the mer-
chant who advertises has fresher
goods, for the reason, l suppose,
he sells more"

EXODUS FROM IOWA.

Sioux City, Ia, March T.
Dealers in lands, railroad men and
farmers, agree that the movement
from Iowa to North Dakota, South
Dakota, Manitoba and Alberta will
be larger the season now opening
than ever before. Especially is this
true of the Canadaward movement,
which only fairly started last year,
and is expected to take 10000 peo-
pie from Iowa this year.
Just as so years ago Ohio was
colonizing the states of the middle
west, so to-day Iowa is colonizing
those of the Northwest and North.
Iowa's basic population is the same
that, moving out from New Eng
land and New York, colonized the
Ohio Valley. Iowans are colo
nizing people. They have made
Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas,
Minnesota largely, and to only a
less extent states farther west. Now
they are turning to Canada and the
5000 who went there last year will
be followed by more than twice as
many more this year.

TWO PLANS FOR GOOD ROADS.

From Post-Dispatch.- hirty
states were represented at the con-
vention of the National GoodR Dads
Association at Chicago, on Friday
of last week. The convention de-
cided to petition Congress for an
appropriation of $40, 900, 900 for
the establishment of better turn
pixies, on the understanding that on
receiving its apportionment of the
amount, each state should appro-
pirate an equal sum, the whole to
be used in road betterment.
The amount to be asked for APP
pears large, but the area to be COW
cred is so great that $40, 900, 900
raised in this way would only be
sufficient to construct enough miles
of road in each state to make be-
ginning and afford valuable object
lessons. The belief is that such
object would stimulate the people
generally to complete the work.
Another plan is outlined in Sun
days Post-Dispatch. 1t was sug-
gested by Charles c. Bell of Boom
vile, Mo-, and involves bonds to
be issued by local road districts
through the county courts, and to
be endorsed by the state. The
United States government is then
to issue currency against these
bonds, such currency to be known
as National Road Currency" and
to be used in paying for the work
done on the roads.
The promoters of this plan claim
for it that it would be comprehen-
sive and thorough, insuring a net
work of good roads all over the
country.
The Post-Dispatch has done all
in its power to further the good
roads movement. 1t is of even
more importance than the improve
ment of rivers and harbors. 1t
is to be hoped that all who are
working for it will be able to unite
on some practical plan. The two
national b Cd i c s-the n o n a |
Goods Roads Association and the
American Road Makers should
get together and work in harmony
for this needed development of the
country's resources.

an eight-hour day is demanded for every
