Minneapolis is wrought up
over the question of "fads" in
the public school curriculum,
and it would appear from the
communications being printed
in the papers that there is a
: strong reaction against the
{ taking up of a pupils time with
~sloyd and basketry and carpen-
try and all the other branches
.-of manual training which have
gained foothold. There is
really no need for hysteria on
either side, however, for the
- good old days" when boys could
learn to use their physical en-
~ergies in some useful way is
largely passed for the city boy.
What we need is not less Of
al'anual training, but more SER
sous teaching of trades in the
251ublic scIloy Us.

A Heroic Model.

A remarkable story is being told
about M. Captier, the famous Paris
sculptor, whose tragic death took
place recently. He wanted a model
whose feet were perfect for his
statue of Venus and experienced
great difficulty in getting one. When
he did succeed in this, he found that
the lady could not sit for him, as
she was engaged at other studios.
She, however, offered to have her
feet cut off if NJ. Captier would buy
an lannuity for her aged mother.
Needless to say, the sculptor had to
refuse this offer, much to the ap-
parent regret Of the plucky model.

This country is receiving it's
annual object lesson in the
danger Of permitting the great
forests to be cut in the great
Goods which are now sweep

The scratch of a pin may cause the
loss of limb or even death when
blood poisoning results from the
injury. All danger of this may be
avoided, however, by promptly ap-
plying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It
is an antiseptic and unequalled as
quick healing liniment for cuts,
bruises and burns. For sale by J.
R. Kruger.

There was prospect of the

agreement has now been
reached whereby a vote vii be

which provides for the settle

ing out of the proposed Panama

Pawnshop Oddities.

At the Paris Mont de Pete are an
empire clock pawned in 1885 for
$50, an old silver lid pawned seventy
years ago and bit Of lace pawned
seventy-fve gears ago for half a
sovereign. For all these things the
contract has been religiously re-
newed every year by somebody. But
the oldest Of these oddities is a com
mon old umbrella in green bingham,
in value perhaps worth so cents to
a connoisseur. The pledge for this
has been steadily renewed Cor sixty
three years

The car of Russia has is
sued a decree which isregarded
sras the most important state
paper since the proclamation
freeing the serfs. It provides
for greater local self-govern-
ment and also for freedom of
religion throughout the cars
domains. The prasantry are
relieved from the burden
OF forced labor and the
conditions of village life
are to be improved. 1t is an
other great step in Russia's
onward march to supremacy.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Your "Uncle Joe" has various
ways of heading off increased
appropriations. Last year the
irrigation advocates stole a
march on h redoubtable
Chairman of the Appropria-
tons Committee and got the
amount for irrigation surveys
increased from 100000 to
100000. This year Mr.. Cannon
who has never favored irriga-
ton, cut the amount down in
committee to 100000. The
irrigationists however rallied
and got the 100000 restored
when the bill came. up on the
floor of the House. And then
"Uncle Joe" smiled and re-
marked that the reason he
scared his irrigation friends,
was to head them off from OBJ
tanning further increase to
100000, or to what amount he
didn't know.
This appropriation is of con
siderable general usefulness.
It not only includes irrigation
surveys for the west, but stream
measurements and river gaug-
ings in every other state, which
is of great importance to the
east where the power of streams
and rivers is being constantly
for manufacturing.
And wherever a new factory is
built, and men employed at
good wages, an additional mar
ket is Immediately created for
farm and other products.

While it is generally under
stood that the special session
Of tile Senate was called for
action on the Panama treaty
and the Cuban Reciprocity
treaty, it is probably that other
matters will be considered.
There are extradition treaties
with Venezuela and Mexico
and some effort will be made
to secure action on some of the
reciprocity treaties, especially
that between this country and
France. There is considerable
opposition to the latter.
Morris tribune., 1903-03-14

Unusually prompt action and
which will be highly satisfac-
tory to the country, has been
taken in the case of Rear Adj
niral C rowninshield, who cab1-

ed list. It seems that the
Naval ring which created so
much trouble during the Span
ish-American war has been
quite generally smashed.

THE OUTSIDE MARKET.

There was little interest manifested In
outside stocks to-day. The market at the
opening displayed some frmn ess In spots.
but soon drifted back into the same dulness
and irregularity which were shown for the
larger part OF the day yesterday. Relatively
small totals were shown by the securities
that figured in the days totals aside from
one or two issues. Price chan ees for the
most part we're restricted to fractions. North
ern Securities was under excellent support
at one time, scoring q net advance Of nearly
2 per cent, which was held until near tho
close. and on light selling pressure sold on
nearly per cent. International Mer camille
Marine issues continued weak and practically
neglected Seaboard Air Line shares were
dull and easier. American Can issues wer Q
quiet but somewhat frmer.
The copper shares were irregular and
comparatively quiet. Greene Copper. after
a firm opening, lost ,; per cent or light Offer
ings British Columbia Copper gained a
fraction on comparatively light trading.
Montreal and Boston developed considera Bile
strength and activity near the close on heavy
purchases, selling up Z to ~.

prices were generally steadv. United st ates
