SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Chemistry students in the Uniyer-
iity Of Heidelberg are compelled by
she rules of the institution to insure
their lives.
The Rev. H. P. Perkins, of Pao-ting-
fu, China, says there is a great demand
for native schools and churches there.
The largest electrotechnical instr
tute in Europe has just been completed
in Vienna at a cost of 100000. Its
roof is used as an experimental sta
tion for wireless telegraphy.
Prof. A. Van Der Naillen, president
of school of engineering in San Fran
cisco, has been created chevalier of the
Order of Leopold by the Belgian king.
The notification from Brussels says
that the honor has been conferred be-
cause of Prof. Van Der Naillen's long
and honorable career in this country as
civil engineer, the Belgian govern
ment being sensitive to the behavior
of its children abroad"
Rev. Morton c. Andrews, rector of
St. Paul's Episcopal church, Of Osh-
kosh, wanted to run a restaurant in
order that he might utilize the surplus
of his chicken farm and grocery store
to advantage. Bishop Grafton forbade
the enterprise and now Mr.. Andrews
has withdrawn from the church. Mr..
Andrews has been an extreme ritual
ist He drew 40 salary from the
church, insisting upon the right to
support himself by his business under
takings.
In addition to the paid choir, the paid
treasurer and the paid collector of
church revenues, which have become
such prominent features in many
churches in this country, a prominent
church in New York has m movement on
| foot to raise IAN educational endow-
ment fund of 100000, the interest of
which is to be used: 1. To pay educa-
tional experts who shall teach the
teachers. 2. To pay the heads of de-
partments in the school. 8. To COM
pensate as far as possible all teachers
who will accept remuneration, pro-
vided they can demonstrate their fit
ness based upon preparation conform
ing to established standards of re-
quirement."
Prof. Bryce, in his biographical
study of Bishop Fraser, of Manchester,
tells of clergyman of Fraser's diocese
who had knocked a man down who had
insulted him. The bishop wrote him a
letter of reproof, pointing out that ex-
posed as the Church of England was to
much criticism on all hands, her minis
ters ought to be very careful of their
demeanor. The offender replied by
saying: 81 must regretfully admit
that, being grossly insulted, and for
getting in the heat of the moment the
critical position of the Church of Eng
land, | did knock the man down, etc"
Fraser was delighted with the turning
of the tables on himself, and afterward
invited the clergyman to visit him.

CooL LOOKING ROOMS.
Bare Floors with Rugs, Quiet CoIOrs
and Foliage Are Prime
Requisites.


In hot weather, when everything out
of doors looks hot and dusty, how re-
freshing it is to enter a room which not
bDly has a lower temperature, but is
arranged in such a way that the eye is
rested by its cool appearance. TO ar
considerable judgment and some work.
but it pays in the added comfort of the
family, says the Household Magazine
Bare floors are the first requisite
A few rugs, preferably shaded greens
and browns, will relieve the plainness.
The floor should be stained or painted.
Prepared wood stains are excellent for
this purpose, as they are so easily ap-
piled. They come in a variety of col
ors, and have only to be dissolved in
water to be ready for use. The floor
should have one or two coats of oil
after the stain dries.
Blues and greens are cool looking
colors, and one of them may be chosen
from the color scheme of the room.
A wall paper of cream and green is
very pretty, and the furnishing can
easily be made 10 harmonic with it.
Willow or reed rockers are comforta-
BILE and may have head rests of pale
green with little pink in the figures
and pink ribbons to tie them with.
Foot stools of various sizes should be
of the shaded browns or greens to
match the rugs. The desired colors
may be secured by using eyes for col
oring the rug rags, and some suitable
material for the stools. A rattan couch
with supply of pillows in cool shades,
is both comfortable and cool looking.
Vases and bowls of flowers with
plenty of foliage, placed on shelves and
tables about the room give the finish
ing touch. The blinds should be kept
closed during the hot part of the day,
except when the room is opened for
use, when they can be bowed so as to
shut out the glare and give shaded
light. Some kinds of vines grow well
in the shade and can be used for such
rooms. The writer once saw long
box of Wandering Jews placed on the
mantle in a summer sitting room, the
vines reaching almost to the floor.
An open fireplace may be made very
attractive by having box fitted into
it. filled with growing ferns and wild
flowers. Have a box made that just
/ fits into the CRATE and, if possible, have
it deeper in the back. sloping grad
ually down to the front. Paint the
box dark shade of green and fill with
rich mould from the woods. In choos-
ing plants with which to fill it, choose
those that thrive without sunlight.

THE PAY OF A POET.
rienced by the Author of "Cur-
few Must Not Ring Tonight"

The editor Of the Eagle, published in
Fremont, Ind, having discovered that
Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe, author of
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight"
once lived where the Eagle office now
stands, asked her to write something
about her life in Fremont. Her reply
shows the discouraging circumstances
under which literature is sometimes
produced. 1t also throws an informing
light on the price of poetry. Part of
| it follows:
Those Fremont days were not the
happiest of my life, by any means, and
perhaps l have been only too willing to
forget them. My young husband was
carriagemaker at that time, inexperi-
enced in many things, and 1 was very
homesick for my old home, my mother
and the companionship of friends from
whom had never been separated be-
fore.
Then, too, my two babies were care
and prevented me from forming new
acquaintance. My memories of Fre-
mont are mostly confined to four small
rooms at the back of the carriage shop
and a cemetery which we were obliged
to pass on our way to andIfrom the sta
ton. Not very pleasant memory, you
will say.
At that time my "Curfew Must Not
Ring Tonight was finding its way into
every corner of the world (this was in
1S73-4-5, the poem was first published
in 1870 and newspaper people were
asking continuously for its author. l

pers whose editors paid at the rate of
one subscription for ten or 12 poems as

which 1 have since received five, ten

TO SNUFF VOLCANOES.
Startling Discovery Made by An
Australian.

Volcanoes can easily be extinguished,
says the New York Herald. A New
Zealand man claims (and there are
-7any who agree with hin) to have
discovered liquid by means of which
volcanoes may be extinguished quickly
whether active or threatening.
Many diseases of the human body
act in the same manner as volcanoes.
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Kidney Dis
orders, Female Diseases and many
others all begin with a slight rumble
of pain and distress, and if not treated
in time will burst forth in all their
fury, causing all who are so afflicted
the most intense suffering and making
life complete burden.
That liquid has been discovered
that will extinguish these volcanic
eruptions of disease, whether active or
threatening, is not only certain but a
material fact.

The observatory is to take the form
of a tower and will closely resemble
an old English castle. Situated upon
the now unoccupied mound, which has
been allowed to remain on the Munroe
street side of the parkway, it will
greatly add to the artistic beauty of
the spot.
The tower VII be As feet high. The
top will be fat and protected to a
height of four feet by parapet, with
iron grafiags in the embrasures, and
will afford a view that cannot be
equaled in Boston. The walls of the
tower will be of rough granite and
will be 80 feet in diameter. Two rooms
viii be set apart for the exhibition of
historic relics and souvenirs. The
structure from the second floor will be

scientists that the frog (the edible va
riety) attains its greatest and best de-
velopment, not, as one would imagine,

Canada, on the extreme northern limit
at which these reptiles are found This
bears out an old and pretty safe rule
that both plants and animals attain
their best development at the north
ernmost point of their habitat. Thus

price of the diamond-back of Louisi-

Proprietor Of Floating Saloon Claimed
Joint Wasn't in Iowa.

Onawa. Jan. 19.-William Marr, a
bootlegger who was found guilty OF
selling liquor, was sentenced by Judge
Wakefield to pay a fine Of 5000. a SIS
attorney fee and costs.
Butch" Marr, as he is generally
called, has been running a floating sa-
loon on barge in The Missouri river,
near Lake Quinnabove, at Holman's
Island, and seemed to believe that hi.
was outside the jurisdiction of either
Iowa or Nebraska, as the land was cut
off some years ago. When the Missouri
cut across the "big bend" and landed
two or three thousand acres of, valuable
Monona county soil into Nebraska.
Marr put a strong defense and his
attorney, Judge Gi:,is, of Tekamah,
Neb., tried hard to show that the pro-
hibitory law of Iowa could not be made
TO work in Nebraska. The jury wrestled
with the problem all night, but finally
found MARI guilty.
The Nebraska supreme court has al
ready decided that the land cut OIL is
still. a part of Mono.a county, and the
residents vote in Franklin township,

Washington, Jan. 10. The United
States supreme court today again
passed upon the validity of divorces
granted in South Dakota to non-resi-
dents. The case was that of Annie
Andrews VS.. Kate II. Andrews. and the
question at issue is that as to which is
entitled to administer upon the estate
Of Charles S. Andrews, whom both la
dies claimed as husband. The record
showed Mrs. Kate Andrews was the
first wife and that the husband secured
a divorce in South Dakota, after re-
naming there six months, the time re-
Quired by the statutes OF the state.
The Massachusetts, courts held that
the decree had been fraudulently se-
cured. refusing to recognize the first
wife as the legal widow of deceased
Andrews. That LAS the holding of the
supreme judicial court of Massachus-

at Omaha of w. r. Lesser. of the rama
Free Press, on a charge OF making
fraudulent returns to the government
on his fee bills, ETC., bids fair to stir
up factional strife in Tama county.
Lesser has been a local politician Tor

Secretary Wilson. and at one time or
another was active for both Senator
Allison and Senator Gear. His greatest
political friend and confidante has
been ex-senator Penrose. Lesser has
held various positions, and was always
regarded as honest and capable by ms
political associates. He was Indian
agent for the Musquakie Indians. but
was turned out by Cleveland. he
sought the place again under NC
Kinley, but local fight developed
against him and made it impossible
for him to get the place He was then
appointed to special agency in the
land department and assigned to post
at Platte, Neb.
