specified, after the remaining balance
for the state historical library shall
have been paid. OF course a continu-
ing appropriation extending over a
period of years would be less burden
some than a direct appropriation of
the whole amount to be drawn from
the treasury in one tax period.
The governor doubts the wisdom of
establishing a criminal insane hos
pital at this time, favors prison
labor by contract, thinks a workshop
for blind adults should be built in
Milwaukee and calls attention to the
fact that the labor commissioner to
mitigate the evils of child labor in
factories, favors compulsory attend
ance of children at school during the
school year, change in the present
method of issuing age certificates to
make it impossible for unscrupulous
parents to profit by false afidavits.
and repeal of the permit system
which operates to the evasion of other
provisions of the law.
The governor urges upon the enact
ment OF a law that shall make it an
offense punishable by the heaviest
money penalty, and by imprisonment
as well, for any lobby agent or lobby
representative, employed and paid for
his services by others, to attempt peri
sonally and directly, to influence any
member OF the legislature to vote for
or against any measure affecting the
interests represented by such lobby
list.
He recommends the question of
more efficient protection to employees
of railroad companies who may be in
Jured in the discharge of their duties
through carelessness or negligence of
other employees or agents of the com
pany. There can be no doubt. the
governor says, that just provision for
the railroad man in case of injury, or
for those dependent upon him in the
event of his death, would afford a con-
sideration that would increase the
efficiency of the service and rebound
to the benefit of the travelling public,
in addition to being a proper exercise
of simple justice to a worthy class of
citizens.
According to the estimates of the
engineers, upon the plans and specifi-
cations made for completing the light
ing of the capitol building grounds, it
would require an additional appropria-
ton of $4,000 In addition to this,

connected with the capitol lighting

power without any appreciate extra
cost
The governor recommends that the
law be SO changed that the owner may
hunt upon his own premises without
the ayment of any license fee; that
legislation for cities be restricted: that
the natural history survey be further
encouraged; and that new limitation
upon city Indebtedness, and perhaps
upon the amount of tax levy
permitted by law, be provided,

REBUILDING A TREE.
Broken Down by an Ice Storm it Lives
and Has Its OIdtime Beauty.


Every passing storm seemed to
week it's vengeance on the big elm
tree that grew by the roadside One
late winter morning we awoke to find
the world transformed by ice on every
tree and bush. In wonder and amaze
ment we looked abroad. But in front
of us the elm tree lay a shapeless
mass, broken and splintered by the
weight of ice Already the tree had
been endeared to us by its many hard
ships, in which all the family had
sympathized. The tree must not
perish now.
With ropes and pulleys the great
limbs, some of them now several
inches in diameter, were drawn back
to their places; for every enc Of them
still chung to the parent stock by a
strip of bark and wood at it's base.
Iron bolts were made from half-inch
rods, long enough to reach through
branch and stock just above the split.
With long auger, half-inch holes were
bored through the tree, the bolts
driven in tight and then drawn up by
means of nut and thread. A large
head and washer, and another washer
under the nut at the other end, pre-
vented the ends of the bolt from draw
ing into the wood. So tightly was the
branch drawn to the trunk that no
gaping crack was left, and the crease
was Theoretically sealed with melted
wax. Then higher up, between
branches two or three feet apart. other
rods were run to hold all the members
in place. We knew that if the bolts
fitted tightly in their holes, no harm
would come to the tree; but that If
bands were placed about the branches
they would soon crease and girdle the
parts and work much harm. When the
storm had passed, the dear tree stood
in its customary mood; and all the fol-
lowing summer it grew as if with re-
newed determination.

THE LIFE BEAUTIFUL.
Possibilities of Home Life in the Pure
Countryside.

To receive and assimilate the sub
tie influences of the life beautiful,
woman must keep her perspective cor
rect, says Mrs. Henry Wight.
IF she has money or social influence
or if she has not, she must learn to
regard them in their true relation, as
very desirable adiuncts of life, but
not as an ultimate end and aim of all
effort, nor as determining factors of
her conduct toward others, except in
asmuch as they may be used for good.

WATERWAYS A NECESSITY.
Prof. Lewis M. Haupt so Declares
Them in the Forum.

In view of the great and manifest
economies of waterways it may seem
inexplicable That, with but few illustri-
Gus exceptions, their advantages have
apparently not impressed themselves
upon railroad managers and legisla-
tors in general. By the recognition
and use of these economies the most
progressive nations of the European
continent have been able to maintain
large military and naval establish
NETS, besides providing from the pub
lie treasury for the construction and
maintenance of their extensive sys-
TENS of internal waterways, while
the United States has permitted her
canals to become gradually ex-
tinguished.
One by one these earlier avenues of
communication have been absorbed
and abandoned; and yet statistics
show that the cost of transportation
by these artificial channels is about
one-third only of that by rail, while by
open water it is still lower A nation
that ignores an economy of sixty-six
per cent. in transportation is wasting
its resources and imposing onerous
burdens upon it's people. The posi-
bilities of this country are magnifi-
cent; and yet but few of them have
been developed, and in these cases the
work has been done largely by private
corporations or local interests. The
Erie canal still exists, a monument to
the enterprise OF the empire state of
which it has ever been the backbone;
but it is booming too weak to bear the
greatly increased tonnage, and must
be strengthened and enlarged unless
1T is desired to divert the traffic to the
down-grade route through Canada.
Owing to the growth in the dimensions
OF vessels, the Anticipated coast-wise
system of canals, made necessary as a
means of defence by the lessons of
1872, is no longer able to pass more
than about three per cent of the trade
of the contiguous bays and sounds.
These channels barely pass the small
est torpedo-boats, and are wholly in
adequate to meet the requirements of
an interior, strategic line as an indis-
pensable part of our coast defence, not
to mention those of the millions of
tons of coastwise commerce, only
awaiting their enlargement and ma
tional control.
The great work nearing completion
under the state of Illinois, connecting
Lake Michigan with the Illinois river
and having in view the ultimate crea.
ton of fourteen-foot channel to the
gulf of Mexico. is one that must COM
mend itself to the country as being of
Unreasonable value. The connection
of the vast deposits of coal in western
Pennsylvania and Virginia with the
iron ores of the Lake Superior region
by means of ship canal across the
Portage separating Lake Erie from
the Ohio river should be pushed with
the most dispatch.

DINNER PAIL NO MORE
LABORER BUYS HIS LUNCH OF
THE PUsHCART MAN.
The Inner Man Tempted by Large
Variety Of Edible-Competi-
ton Brisk.

Ever noticed how the dinner pail that
once was familiar part Of the outfit of
a laboring man has passed away?" asked
Detective Carl Father Of Star man to-
day. Yes. the familiar bucket has gone.
and Its place has been taken by the side
walk lunch stand.
Wherever you see a gang of mon at
work you win generally find pushcart or
sidewalk lunch room. and when quitting
time comes for the MONDAY repast the
men drop their tools and proceed to regale
themselves.
For a half hour before the noon hour
these sidewalk merchants have been quietly
assembling and arranging their wares and
making ready for the rush, for when that
Is on no time is given for any preparation
every customer demands the quickest and
best possible service and If he cannot get
It from one he passes to the next.
1T Is difficult to determine what Is not
sold in the eatable and drinkable line at
these primitive lunch counters. Oysters,
CLAIMS, fshballs, meat cakes, sausages cold
meats, sandwiches, fried fish. fried pota-
toes, pretzels, pies, rolls, buttermilk sweet
milk. lemonade, coffee, tea, root beer and
orangeade are only few of the refresh
ments to be purchased, and everything is
as cheap as dirt.
Some of tie food offered looks remark
ably good and appetizing, and the stands
where such is offered do much the larger
business. Many men who would scorn a
meal at q sinker' restaurant can find
plenty Of food to their taste offered for
sale by the vendors.
The Busy Hour.
From II O'Clock until 4 the sidewalk
stands are busy, for no sooner has one
crowd satisfied the craving of the inner
man than there Is another to take it's
place. 1t must not be thought f r a mo-
ment that food and drink. although they are
the most important things, are by any
means the only wares offered for the
temptation of the workers by the sidewalk
vendors, as side by side with those who
dispose of eatables only are all kinds Of
fakirs offering many varieties of goods
Gold collar buttons, watches. rings, clocks.
fans, and even dress patterns to take home
to the old woman are but few of the
things displayed.
THE other day one enterprising vender
was doing land Office business with a soap
preparation which he guaranteed would re-
move every known variety of stain from
clothing. The demonstration he gave of his
ware to do all that he claimed for 1t was
eagerly watched by an interested crowd,
who after it was over made generous pur-
chases.

SKIN SOFA PILLOWS
SKIN OF A PET CALF STARTED
THE FAD.
Skins Of All Sorts Are Being Made
Into Pillows-Pillows Of Chamois
Skin Are Popular.
Written for The Evening SITS

Written FOR The Evening Star.
Tho woman who does not own skin sofa
pillow has not acquired the latest fad,which
was born of sorrow over the death of a pet.
This pet was calf. which had met an
untimely end. thereby awakening much
grief among the feminine members of the
family. In the midst Of their woe 1t sud
denly occurred to one of the girls that, in
asmuch as q stuffed calf would be rather
out Of place in the household. the skin
might be utilized for some other purpose.
That was when the pillow idea presented
itself.
The men scoffed at the proposition and
said that 1t was absurd but they had to
admit that the glossy brown skin, with its
beautifully marked white spots, was too
handsome to be buried with the calf, SO be-
fore the last sad rites were performed the
body OF the little Jersey was skinned
In due time the skin was cured, trimmed
into shape and used to cover an air cushion
1t was made square with the exception of
the corners, which were trimmed to repre-
sent ears-three at each corner, and tied
with strips of calfskin in a bow knot. When
done the skin had the look of delicate
shade of panne velvet
This novel method of preserving the net
calls skin suggested to some one else an
idea which resulted in another unusual pill

Many Queer Characters.
There are many queer characters among
the vendors, and the men have all manner
of curious nicknames for them. Quite q
number have seen better days and have in
teresting stories. There is bond of SYM
pathy between these unfortunates and the
workers. and the most steady patronage ID
given to those who need 1t most.
After the clock announces the end OF the
lunch hour and the men gather to return
to their various occupations the vendors
pack I'D their things and vanish like the
mist of a summer morning.
Some go home to cook and prepare for
the noon hour of the morrow, while others
seek favored corners in prosperous sections
of the city. where business Is fairly brisk
for the balance of the day.
What is the cause for this discarding OF
the long-faithful pail which quite fulfilled
the desires of the fathefs and grandfather1
OF these same workmen and laborers who
now scorn it?
The Reasons Assigned.
"'weil.' said one sturdy workman. whose
own pail has for long while served in tho
capacity OF u cold storage DOX at nome,
there Is great deal less trouble connected
with the present state of affairs.
&c In the first place, the wages of the aver
age man. whether a machinist engineer,
carpenter, bricklayer or in any other line
of work. are more than they used to be. and
not only that, but 1t costs little more to buy
as much lunch from these curbstone quick
lunches" than to bring something from
home.
Then there Is always the trouble of put
ting up the homemade lunches. Our wives
have to get up early enough as it is to start
us off to work, and when they have the
added work of the lunches, 1t doesn't pay.
when man is working hard all morn
Ing, too, and has five hours more Of 1t be-
for him after lunch, he wants some thing
more substantial than cold lunch, and at
the same time he doesn't want his wife or
one of the children TO have to walk long
distance every noon to bring him something
hot.
"No more cold coffee or tea for us.
We can get it hot and freshly made from
the lunch stands, and with steaming sau-
sages and rolls or smoking meat pie, II Is
food fit for any one
The workingman has become educated
in late years in the matter of eating, and
he is as much of an epicure great many
of the men who patronize the finest cafes
and restaurants in the city. He will not take
anything and everything. He wants food
that will make up to him for wear and tear
on his muscles and general strength, so that
when man is fifty ne can look forward to
at least fifteen years more of usefulness and
independence
