PITH AND POINT.

1t may be hard to be good-it is not
hard to be kind.
Genius has always received more APP
plause than money.
Presumption lies at the bottom of
much that we call success.
1t requires no strength of mind to be
meant does to be generous.
True greatness lies not in never fall
ing. but in rising every time we fall.
Keep your business to yourself or
some other fellow will keep it for you.
The public is a baby. depending
largely upon the nature Of the indul-
gence of its nurse.
The higher a balloon rises the small
er it looks. and is this not true of man
ambitious members of society:
Failure in life IS not loss of capital
or h catastrophe Of q business ven
ture. Such things are accidents that
may happen to all.-Schoolmaster.

The Grand Forks Herald concisely
states the situation of the state in
stitution bonds question as follows:
The state institutions are in need
of funds with which to make improve
ments ~hich the growth Of the state
has rendered imperative. Their ordi-
nary income is inadequate for this
purpose. and will be for some years
to come. There were but two ways
in which it was possible to secure the
needed money. One way was by ap-
propriating money directly out of the
general fund of the state. This was
manifestly out of the question. as the
revenues of the state as it is are GER
tainly not more than sufficient to take
care of the ordinary expenses when
the greatest economy of administration
is observed. The only practical man.
ner, therefore. was to realize in some
manner on the estates of the institu-
tions themselves. To each of the in
situations there has been given a large
grant, the proceeds of which are to be
used for purposes of construction and
maintenance in such ann as the
state legislature shall provide. These
lands are the property of the several
institutions. therefore, under the o
troll and authority of the state. The
income o be derived from hem will
income to be derived from them will
needed at present for the purposes of
any of the institutions. but this is not
Immediately available. and the need for
the improvements is pressing. For
this reason the late legislature passed
bills permitting the issue of bonds,
which, while the wording of the bills
differ. are intended to be in effect
mortgages on the lands of the institu-
tions. The state becomes responsible
for the interest on those bonds, thus
rendering them a safe and certain in
vestment. and the state in turn is pro-
tected by the bill providing for the
creation Of a sinking fund with which
to retire these bonds as they become
due.

LEAPiNG POWERS OF DEER
Fence Seven Feet High Cleared by a
Jump Up n steep Hill.

was sitting with the stalker among
which divides the forest of Glen
Quoich from Cluny. We were quietly
eating our lunch when we saw three
stays coming toward the march fence
a few hundred yards below us. They
were not alarmed. but. as the stalker
said, moving to themselves"
The first two. without increasing
their pace. jumped clean over the high
deer fence. The third struck the top
wire and was thrown head over heels
backward. He went away a few
yards. took a run cleared it easily
n joined his comrades.
Now. a story about Japanese deer.
Several of them got u of a deer park
on a mountain and into a large wood
adjoining. We eDticed them with a
train of oats into a walled paddock Off
the deer park. having left a gap in the
four inch wire netting Of the deer
fence at the edge Of the wood.
When they We're safely in. a mar
went round and closed the gap. and
we opened the large gate into the deer
park. thinking we could easily move
them in. MOI a bit of it. Directly the
beaters began they charged them and
jumped the wire paling back into the
wood again.
This paling is seven feet high and is
on very steeply sloping ground. They
had to jump up hill, and it seemed to
me SO utterly incredible that any ami
NAL could jump such a height that
went to look at the place. and there
sure enough the keeper showed me the
hairs of the deer on the top wire where
said they saw one deer tumble down
on landing at the other side.-Country

spurxheim and the Students.

Spurzheim. the father Of modern
p%hrenolOgy, while staying in Edin-
burgh, where he had Il great vogue.
was the victim OF n laughable hoax. A
number Of medical students submitted
for the opinion of the phrenOlOgist the
plaster cast of what they said was a
remarkably formed human skull. As a
matter of fact it vas the model of a
big Swedish turnip Called in the Scot
fish tongue "neip"). and of this Spur
helm gravely wrote out the phreno-
logical character. A few days later the
following skit appeared in the leading
journal Of the city:
The tide of fame to Spurzheim's name
Rolled DER the German deep.
The tide was spring: but. tickle thing
1t now has ebb'd to 'neip.'

THE PRINCIPLE OF REST.

4 Few Practical Nif.in That -.S.cy.-
cans should Consider.
The principle of res, IS tAe principle
Of relaxation. II temporary cess....oG or
suspension of energy from amy part or
from all of the body. Associate rest int
plies the complete letting so" OF all
tension. mental, nervous and physical.
All are involved To some extent in ev-
cry act of our daily life. nor can they
be entirely separated.
Let us see what will happen if we
place the body in a reclining position
10 comfortably arranged that absolute
physical repose would seem inevitable.
Then let the mind take hold OF some
problem and concentrate on it un,il Nil
the mental energy is aroused. This en-
erSy is unconsciously communicated
to the nervous system. and Don the n
tire physical self is in a highly tensed
condition. Few people realize this un
til their attention is called to il. They
think they must be resting when the
body is inactive. 1t is not necessary
that the body be exercising in order to
be tense. y set of muscles may be
nervously tense and yet be apparently
motionless. This difference between q;
tense muscle and a muscle entirely re
laxed or devitalized is what | want you
to thoroughly understand. for this
tense condition brought on by mental
and nervous strain and often held with
out relaxation for hours produces great
er fatigue than many forms of exer-
else that are more physical in eXecu-
tiOn.
Remember always that the mind is
the great controlling power. and it is
only when the mind becomes as nearly
as possible a perfect blank that the
body can rest satisfactorily. IL the
body would rest, the mind must rest
also. In other words, think rest "iet

completely. Rose Edson-H elme in Pill

HI. Forenoon. Began Early,

When Philip d. Armour engaged a
new secretary. he did not tell him at
what hour in the morning to report.
The young man appeared at 9, but
found Mr.. Armour at work. Nothing
was said about the secretary being
late.
The next day he presented himself at
half past 8, only to find Mr.. Armour
ahead of him.
So on the day following he came at
8 o'clock. with the same result.
Determined to he on hand before his
boss, he came at 1870 the next day,
only to be greeted by Mr.. Armour with
the question::
"Young man. will you tell me what
you do with your forenoons!"

According to the BraddOck Renuhli

According to the Braddock Republic
can the recent visit of ]. G. Binnicker
in Bismarck to interest the citizens in
a Touring mill proposition was not
productive CT results. This may be
true in a sense but the visit demon
strated the fact that under the pay of
Mandan parties. or otherwise. one Van
Houten who formerly conducted a
hardware store in Bismarck. has been
doing a little knocking. SO to speak
threatens The new outfit by declaring
that the field belongs to Mandan and
If a new mill is started the proprietor
will be forced to the wall-that the
price of -four will be reduced to O. low
price and remain there until the new
mill goes bump" So the business
men, of Bismarck who recently met
10 talk over milling prospects have
fair warning of what is in store for
business enterprises that may desire
to locate in this city.

FIRST PICTURE BOOK.
The Daring Idea First Conceived by
Johann COmenius.

johann COmenius.
Three hundred years ago a German
savant had a wonderful vision. 1t that
time children were taught TO read by
force of arms. so to speak. through
hardships and with bitter toll on the
part of teacher and of child. 1t seems
furious that the first real step toward
tightening the labor of children as
they climb the ladder of learning was
some fond mother or gentlewoman
teacher. but of a bewigged and beti-
tle6 university doctor.
It was Johann ComeniuS. however,
who first conceived the daring idea
that children could be taught by the
ton working together. by MEANS" as
he quantity expressed it. "of sensuous
Impressions conveyed to the eye. SO
that visual objects MAJ be made the
medium of expressing moral lessons to
the young mind and of impressing
other words. the good Herr Doctor had
the brigh idea that picture BOOKS could
be useful to children. Comenius made
his first picture book and called it the
''Orbis Pictus." 1t contains rude wood
cuts representing objects in the nat
ural world. as trees and animals. with
little lessons about the pictures. 1t is
a quaint volume and one that would
cause the average modern child o Il
little establishment were it placed be
fore him.
AS truly, however, as that term may
be applied to any other book that has
since been written. the 'Orbis Pictus"
vas an epoch making book. 1t is the
precursor Of all children's picture
books. and modern childhood has great
cause to bless the name Of Comenius.-

Lincoln said Of Washington:
Washington is the mightiest name on
earth, long since mightiest in the cause
Of civil liberty. still mightiest in moral
reformation. On that name a eulogy Is
expected. 1t cannot be. To add bright
ness to the sun or glory to the name of
Washington Is alike impossible; let
none attempt it. In solemn awe pro-
nounce the name and in naked, death
less splendOr leave 1t shining On.
