Keen the Artistic in Mind.

In the rage for articles of virtu, which
has been prevalent several years, the
well-to-do have filled their parors
and cabinets and mantel shelves with
articles of genuine value, indeed, but
in many cases of no artistic grace,
says the Ladies World. A museum
is one thing and a dwelling house is
another. The two are sometimes con,
founded, even among the most cul.
tured classes. Let us religiously pre-,
serve curiosities, by all means, Just
as we preserve Phoenician jars, Ben,
ares metal work and Chinese bronzes;
but don't let us imagine that because
they are curious or ancient they gre
necessarily decorative. Above all,
don't let us assent to he converse
proposition, that because pretty things
are cheap and modern. they are naces.

Discontent With Work.

That there is much discomfort with
work among the so-called middle
classes in America is due in large part
to the pamperlng of children, to the
supplying of their natural and arti.
fetal rants, and to .he sentimental
idea that their day of toll will come
soon enough" In general, work is
not a curse but blessing-a positive
means of grace. One can hardly be,
gin too early to impress upon children
lessons Of self-help by tasks appro
pirate to their age and forces aud ia
beget in them scorn of idleness and
of dependence on others, says the Cen.
tury. To do this is to make them
happy through the self-respect that
comes with the realization of power
and thus to approximate Tennyson's
goal of man: 'SelfreverenOe, self.
knowledge, self-control."

Fertilizers ana Manure.

The annual controversy is going on
over the relative values of commercial
fertilizers and stable manures, but the
farmer who uses both feels that there
Is ne need for him to argue the mat
ter. having learned that when he has
filled his soil with humus by the use of
staL:e manure and with nitrogen by
growing some OF the legumes, then he
Is able to use commercial fertilizers
proftably. Years ago when there were
more protests than now against com
merclal fertilizers. farmers generally
considered Ii extravagant to use such
fertilizers and stable manures as well.
AS result the constant and exclusive
use OF the commercial fertilizers used
up the vegetable matter In the soil and
crops began to fall of.
To those who are skeptical regarding
this manner OF using commercial fer
tillzers In connection with stable ma
nures. the best advice that can be
given Is to select q small field and try
the plan. Use any crop desired and
give the field the best possible culture.
The results will show IL the comblna-
tion was profitable. All farmers know

Franklin l.. McVey, professor Of econ

at present in disfavor with the st. Paul
Commercial club and it is said that he
may be asked to resign his position OF
superintendent Of the twin city exhibit at
the ST. Louis exposition. The cause OF
the feeling is the Misrepresentation or

the Encyclopedia Britannica.
When seen concerning the complaints
coming from the sanity city Professor Nc
Vey admitted that there were mlsstate-
nents in the article. but stated that they
were entirely the result Of the cutting to
which his article was subjected after 1t
reached London. He exceeded the space

it was "blue penciled'' and that without

day, when questioned regarding an
alleged disposition on his part to favor

tact with good minds, both masculine
and feminine
The women teachers of the East
high school have been propounding a
conundrum that to them and to their
friends seemed extremely pat, in light
Of the gossip regarding this question
which has been afloat. 1t is: why
is Principal Webster like Henry
George?" The answer is, Because
his motto is: I am for men. Prin-
