THINKS RELIGION rs NEEDED.

In an address before the Teachers AS
ISOLATION at st. Paul last Thursday, Hon.
John Lind gave utterance to the follow
ing words, that come as somewhat of a
sunrise, as the tendency of the times is
to eradicate the Bible and its Influences
from the public schools. The address
is made with the marks Of Mr.. Lind
earntstnes. aud carries the conviction
that 1t is from the heart. It echoes the
thought of the best educators of the
land. It is given as reported from the
Pioneer Press:
"When was teacher I had the deca-
logue on tie blackboard, and were 1 to
resume teaching, would put it on the
blackboard again. said John Lind, con-
gressman-elect from Minneapolis, before
fore the high school council of the state
teachers association Thursday afternoon.
"It is the highest expression of morality
for all who believe in supreme being
Il think the time has come to take
moral training up in the schools method
ically. Religion has supplied the form
al part OF morality, and ! feel that the
more l can see Of it in the schools the
better, not sectarian, or a little, revenge

What County Auditors Want.

At the meeting of the County Audi
tors in St. Paul last week a movement
was started that if it succeeds will make
quite change in the affairs at all the
court houses. The following ATE the
that were made by
Public Examiner Johnson.
/. The abolishment of the fee system
wherever found on the statute bookA
2. Four-year term for all county Off
GERS.
8. Officers should not GO out at the
same time. The treasurers and county
attorneys should step out of office one
year, the auditors and the sheriff anoth-
7er, the register Of deeds one year and the
clerk Of courts the following.
4. Where county commissioners
passed upon bills and papers of various
kinds first, they should assume the first
responsibility. All county commission
.ers should have fixed salaries and IN no
case should a salary be less than $500,
even in the smallest counties.
5. County attorneys should have a
contingent fund for the investigation
and preparation of evidence for crimi-
nal prosecutions, etc.
They should. also have the right to
employ extra help when needed.
s. County auditors should not col
lect money of any kind, such as candi-
dates fees, hunters licenses, etc. This
money should go direct to the county
treasurers, though the auditors should
take care of the necessary papers.
These recommendations in the main
are all right. Every two years is too
frequent to have the county and state
torn up in political feud. Il generally
transpires that an official who is elected
to one term is elected ! second time,
and his continuance in Office might just
as we'll be established without the extra
cost of an election. The other recon-
mendatione are equally good, and would
be benefit to tie people were they To
become operative.

The Candid Pepy..

No man has ever yet succeeded IN
painting an honest portrait Of himself
In an autograph however sedu-
lousy he may hav We set to work about
It. In spite Of his candid purpose he
omits necessary touches and adds SUI
perfuous ones. At times he cannot
help draping his thought, and the least
shred Of drapery DISCUSSES it It. is
only the diarist who accomplishes the
feat Of self pornaiture, and he, without
any such end in view, does It uncon-
Bciously. A man cannot keep q daily
record Of his comings and goings and
the little items that make up the sum
OF his life and not Inadvertently give
himself away at every turn He lays
bare his heart with cando. not posi-
BILE to the self conscioussaeas that In.
eyitably colors premed itated revelation.
Unknowingly he wea.s his heart upon
his pm for DAVIS TO peck at. While
Mr.. muel Pepys was filling those
small octave pages with his perplexing
cipher he never once imagined that he
was adding q Photographic portrait OF
himself to the world gallery Of Inn
mortals We are more intimately ac-
quainted with Mr.. Samuel Pepys, the
Inner man-his little meannesses and
his generosities than we are with half
the persons we call our dear friends.

The Christian Name.

The term Christian name" is used
in England and America only. "Bap-
tismal name" is used in other countries.
The term seems to have been used
first after the reformati ton, when Bib
lical names were used as reaction
against the use Of the saints names in
the calendar. It is evident that all
Biblical names are not Christian, but
the reaction went so far as to consider
everything in the Bible as Christian
and everything not in the Bible as
pagan or certainly nom Christian.

Ocean C1tns Set on Fire by Waves.
It is not often that the waves of the
ocean can set cliffs afire, but they do
sometimes. At Ballybunnion, on the
west coast Of Ireland, the waves which
Cor unnumbered centuries have been
beating against the shores one day broke
into great deposit of iron pyrites and
alum. A rapid oxidation took place
which produced fierce heat and set
the whole cliff to burning. For weeks
the clufr burned like a volcano, and
great clouds of smoke and yapor rose in
the air. When the fire died out, great
masses Of lava and clay burned to
brick were seen in every direction.
In the arctic regions there is another
such burning cliff. which when last
seen was on fire for twenty miles The
burning material was composed largely
OF Ignite, but is believed to be made up
Of several other combustible chemical
substances, which had been set on fire
when the waves reached them.

Punctuation,

Punctuation.
In the earliest Latin inscriptions and
manuscripts no system Of punctuation
ls followed. The full point g was
gradually introduced, being placed on
the level, middle or top Of the letters.
In the minuscule manuscripts Of the
Eighth. ninth and following centuries
the period, on the line or high, was
arst used: then the comma and semi
colon aud the inverted semicolon,
whose power was rather stronger than
thar of the comma. Some say that the
Caroline minuscules Of the ninth cen
fury exhibit the note Of Interrogation,
Tor which the inverted semicolon,
which was gradually dropped, may
have furnished the mark. The Greeks
use the semicolon as an Interrogation
point. In English the colon is said to
have been introduced about 1885, the
comma about 1901 and the semicolon
about 1870. In Sir Philip Sidney's AR
cadia" 158D all the punctuation points
appear, including the note Of interro-
CATION, asterisk and parentheses.

It was decided that Mr.. Wright must
administer stern lecture to his four
year-old daughter Florence. The little
girl had been naughty, but she did not
seem to appreciate the fact, and Mr..
Wright reluctantly undertook a "scold-

He hated to make the tender little
heart ache and to see the dear child cry,
but he forced himself to speak judi
ciously and severely. He recounted her
misdeeds and explained the why and
wherefore Of his stern rebuke. Mrs.
Wright sat by, looking duly impressed.
Finally Mr.. Wright paused for breath

IN Hindustan monkeys are made use-

a troop Of monkeys had taken post
on the opposite side Of the shed, but at

Instantly forming a semicircle about

bristling names, evidently resolved to
defeat the suspected purpose Of his

minor nature
Besides these the appropriation bills
for the Girls Industrial school at Beloit,

Another appropriation bill which was
recommended was to reimburse the
Santa F'e to the extent of $67666 for
money paid out to a deputy live stock

Fe Railroad company came to the res
cue and advanced the money to pay for
inspection Two years ago bills were
introduced to reimburse them. ard the
one FOR Major Hood went through, but
the one for the santa Fe became lost
