RussIAN PRoVERns.

Many of the proverbs of Russia lose their point when put in English. A few that bear translation pretty well are: Home is a full cup,
 Sorrow kills not, but it blights.
 An old crow croaks not for nothing. The wolf catches the destined sheep. Poverty is not a sin, but twice as bad. Black may be toll, but white is it's price. n
 Be born neither wise nor fair. but lucky.
 The pine stands afar, but whispers to it's own forest.
 Calumny is like a coal; if it does. not burn 1t will soil. ~ 4 By that which wounded may your wound be cured.
 A dog is wiser than a woman it does not bark at it's master.

My belief is that till we ourselves wake up to a realization of what we ought to do. we wont take stepa to get the full benefit of what da done for us.
 Just here when had fully made up my mind to take more active part in this idle morning's convegsation my friend whom I regard as the highest authority in the State on matters of education. arose to go pleading an immediate engagement.

FIRES A MENACE
TO THE FORESTS
CLIFFORD PINCHoT GIVES HIS
VIEWS OF THE SITUATION.
Logging Not So Much of Menace to
the Forests AS Fires and Lack of Fa-
cilities for Checking Them-The
Workings of the Morris Act.

Many interesting facts were revealed
by Clifford Pinchot, director of the bu-
reau Of forestry, department. of agri-
culture, yesterday in his informal talks
at the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce
and the Minneapolis Commercial club.
tions Of the Morris act east of Cass
lake, ami he found conditions satisfac-
tory. sl.r dis, -. ~
Mr.. Pinchot says that the state does
not suffer so much from logging as from
dereyt fires and thf ac mere
gushing fires is needed. g..
OF tic Morris act he said:
In view Of the successful execution Of
the Morris law, and its good results up to
date, including the high price paid for
the pine, and the practical success so far,
of the rules prescribed by the, bureau Of
forestry, the agitation to repeal the for
estry provision Of the Morris law becomes
matter of curious interest. r
Northern Minnesota will be richer, not
only in timber and water because of the
reserve, but the neighboring towns in it
will benefit constantly from the indus
tries and from the summer travel which
the reserve will create. Since there are
100000 acres of unoccupied agricultural
land in northern Minnesota, it can scarce
ly be maintained that 231 900 acres, main
ly of timber land in the reserve, is him
dering the development of the state.
AS for the injustice to the Indians by
the enforcement of the Morris bill, I can
only say that this is the first time that
the Indians have been paid in full for
their land. In view Of the vast sums of
money that are now being paid for the
timber there is certainly no reason for
haste, neither is there the slightest doubt
that the Indians will be properly compen-
stated at the proper time.
I venture to predict that within two
years opposition to the forest reserve in
northern Minnesota will be altogether
dead and local sentiment heartily in it's
favor. If this result does not follow it
will be the first occasion when extensive
public discussion of forest reserve mat
tiers failed to establish the reserves in
public estimation more firmly than ever
before. ''''

POTTERY AT THE
WORKS SUGGESTED.
PLAN, IT rs SAID, WOULD BE UN-
OBJECTIONABLE.
Plant Would Cost Little and There Is
Bed Of Clay at Hand--No COMPETE
ton Because There Is No Other
Flower Pottery in Minnesota

A plan has been suggested which will
provide profitable employment for pris-
oners at the workhouse without conflict
with any Of the objections of trade
unions in Minneapolis against the in
stallation by the city of any plant there
which would compel them to compete
with what they call "convict labor. -
The idea is to establish flower pottery
at the ''works.' The florists of Mime
OF f1oWerpots each year, and since the
only pottery in Minnesota, that of the
Swan Brothers company, shut down
some time ago, all Of this money goes
to potteries in Iowa and Wisconsin.
The quarries at the workhouse have
been closed because of the protests of
union workmen. Since then the author
tiles have been searching for some other
employment for the prisoners which
labor, but the problem was a hard one
to solve. It is f cit that it is impossible
to maintain the inmates at the expense
of the state, with every chance Of dis
order growing up thru enforced idle
ness.
The practicability of the scheme for
a pottery is assured thru the fact that
hand on and near the workhouse proper
ty, supplying several brick and tile
plants. This would mean that the in
mates would not have to be conducted
back and forth to their work, which is
always an unpleasing sight to citizens
living in the vicinity. The cost of
maintaining guards would be lessened at
the same time.
The cost Of installing the new ma
chinery would be slight. The old Swan
Brothers factory is in good repair, and
the machinery could be secured for a
few thousand dollars, which could be
paid from the, profits in one or two
years. Not: only, would the florists, of
the twin cities be the customers, but
an extensive trade could be worked up
in the Dakotas. The Swan Brothers did
good business, but shut down to go
into an extensive lumber business in
another state.
The plan has met the enthusiastic
approval of several Of the wholesale
florists.
I" am positive that it would be a
good scheme,' said John Munson, pro-
prietor of the Minneapolis Floral com
pany, today. 81 have carefully consid-
cred the idea and believe that it would
be taken up by the other florists with
avidity. We would not expect to get
the pots any cheaper than we do now,
but we would save on hurry orders. At
present we have to buy from other
states and there is always tedious de-
lay. I am sure that the florists will
enter heartily into the plan. Then you
must remember that a great many pots
are bought by people who are not
forists'

RELIEF MAP AS PRIZE
DAYTON DRY GOODS COMPANY
OPENS SCHOOL CONTEST FOR
FINE PANAMA CANAL MAP.

The Panama canal project excites the
ready interest of Americans. Since it's
inception by De Lesseps, the idea has
been full Of dramatic interest. The
United States has bought the canal,
a commission has been appointed by
the president, and dirt will soon com
mence to fly.
A model of the work has lately been
copyrighted by F. D. Higbee of larry
town, N. Y, and one of these has just
been secured for Minneapolis. Messrs.
Dayton and Mosher of the Dayton Dry
Goods company bought this a few days
ago in New York. 1t is on exhibition
at the Beard art galleries on the fourth
floor Of Dayton's. The company pro-
poses to give this to one Of the schools
by popular vote. Friends of the
invited to call and see the model and
register a vote in favor of the school
Of their choice. These votes will be
counted and the model presented to
the school receiving the largest number
in proportion to it's enrolment. The
voting coupons will be found in the
newspapers and may also be procured
at Mr.. Boards desk in the art gal
leries There is no consideration of
purchase entering, into this competition
and coupons will be given to those who
wish to vote, whether they are regular
patrons of the store or not, and the
map will be given according to the ex-
pressed wish Of the people interested
in the school.
The model is a splendid piece of
work, framed in wide black molding
built to scale and shows the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans and the canal, with
Lake Bohio in the center. The locks,
the railroad, with the adjacent noun
tains and valleys, are all portrayed and
will give the student a clear idea of the
wonderful engineering feat which is
to be accomplished. Interesting tables
other items, one notes that, whereas,
it took xty-eight days for the Ore
gon to 90 from San Francisco to San
diego during the late war with Spain,
the Journey would have been accom-
plished thru the Panama canal in TWEEN
ty-one days.
This is the age Of progress, and the
relief map is a wonderful advance from
the fiat paper picture of the past. There
are several such models to be seen at
the st. Louis exposition, where they are
always surrounded by interested crowds
The Japanese show a wonderful model
of Port Arthur and the surrounding
country, and the United States has pre-
pared most interesting map of this
sort, showing it's plans for irrigation.
Minnesota has also a map of this sort
showing the iron mines in the northern
part Of the state.
Students Of geography will particu-
larly enjoy this model Of the Panama
canal, and the children of at least one
of the Minneapolis schools will be, thru
the Dayton company's generosity, in
a position clearly to understand the
great canal. ...-.a -a. -.
. In addition, the Dayton company will
shortly announce prizes for the three
best essays on "The Panama Canal"
