A Fine Display.

The educational exhibits at the
high school on Wednesday afternoon,
won high praise from all those wto
viewed them, and Indeed it was very
creditab]e display. The manuscript
work and drawing was very fine, and
shows careful training, and good work
of the pupils. The manual training
products were also fine, and some of
the work done by the girl pupils was
exceptionally we'll done. Among the
many exhibits was One-penmanship
that won considerable praise from the
visitors. Vertical writing is taught
and it is considered one of the best
methods in use. 1t is not only much
easier to read but one can write much
faster with this style. Some of the
pupils can write two hundred words
minute.
These exhibits will be sent to the
state beard who will select the best
specimens from the different schools
throughout the state and send them to
st. Louis. And if Sank Centre 8
schools are any criterion Minnesota
will be way up front at the st. Louis
exposition. ..-

Two chefs, one named Petit and EN-
ployed in d Pittsburg hotel, the other
named Dowst and experimenting the
culinary department Of a hosiery in
Montana, are going to have a cooking
contest. says the Minneapolis Times.
Each will serve a dinner Of seven
courses. the one producing the best
meal TO receive $1,000. Dowst believes
in cooking without the use Of liquors,
while Petit contends that many VII
ands can be greatly improved with a
dash of brandy or wine. The contest
will not only test the skill Of the men,
but show whether fine cooking can be
done on lines Of teetotalism. A con-
test ike that is worth while. We
need more cooking matches and fewer
