w. E. Coats returned today from a
trip to Cooperstown, Valley City and
Lisbon, where he conducted public
sales of school lands, and reports
very successful sales, and spirited
bidding on nearly every tract offered,
particularly in iBaanes and Griggs coun-
ties. Every tract advertised in Barnes
county sold at a good price, and in
Griggs all but a few tracts of the
poorest land. More poor land was
advertised in Ransom county and the
average was not quite as good. A
pertinent feature of the sales was the
abundance of money in the pockets of
the farmers who out bid the specula-
tors at every turn. The aggregate
receipts from the three sales to the
permanent school funds from the one
fifth of purchase price paid at sale is
$70,340.0O, the total purchase price
being 1851, 10000, and total acres sold

Dogs and Books in Winter.

Mabel Osgood Wright in the February Critic
Do you love dogs and books, old books
long ago read? Do you wish to step out
from the mile-a minute track of the city
season and pause for a period of intro
spection, that you may determine which of
the thoughts you think are really your own
and which are merely possessed by sugges-
ton?
Then come into the country with me- to
my country, in the barren season, and
under cover of It's own white flag, arrange
truce with winter. l say my country be-
cause it is only that from which one alb
serbs and in return yields personality, that
deepest satisfaction may be had.
Walk abroad with me, my friend, for it
is only middle morning. The sky Is softly
gray; against it the crisp branches lie
etched in dry point. Follow these branches
down to the tree trunks and thence to the
ground. A single brown creeper makes the
spiral ascent of his feeding ground until,
reaching the smaller branches, he fits
backward, and again begins the rising
scale. Below lies the snow wrapping every
thing lightly, yet yelling rather than con-
cealing the outlines. This Is the banner of
the years truce. While it lies there fold on
fold in the chill hollows, spreading its bor-
ders TO the brook edges, padding the mill
pond into an eiderdown quilt, and trailing
soft fringes over things budding in hedge
rows and in wall chinks, the world beneath
sleeps in the peace of it, and only when the
flag is untimely withdrawn can sun and
frost striving together, cause a massacre
of the sleeping innocence below.
A hound cry sounds at a little distance,
high and musical. Coming toward us with
nose aquiver and inquiring eyes is Leader,
the smallest of the rabbit hounds. How did
he know that we are out for snow trudge,
in which he prepares to join with every
sign of joy? He was a full half mile away
when the door closed behind US, and yet he
knew and left his sport of tracking rabbits
to be with
Does any other animal SO love man with
a pure voluntary love? Then is any other
animal SO honored in return? This being as
it should be and no folly. What says Mae
terlinck, the master, in unraveling the pri-
NAL motlvep We are alone, absolutely
alone on this chance planet; and amid all
the forms of life that surround US, not one,
excepting the dog, has made an alliance
with u.s.
Surely. if you would live the country life
in anything but a partial way. dogs must
be among your chosen companions, and
place above all others those of the hunting
breeds; only see to it that they are not too
closely inbred

ELECTRICITY LEADS.
Gas is No Longer the General Illumi-
nant in This Country.

From tie Electrical World and Engineer.
The public is accustomed to think of
gas as still tl@ leading illuminant, but
while this is probably true in Europe, in
the United States the scepter of light has
definitely passed to electricity. The fig
uIes just issued by our census office are,
indeed, startling. Gas had nearly seven
ty-five years start over its competitor,
but it now appears to be decidedly in
second place Yet there is no denying
the fact that the introduction of the
brilliant electric light has stimulated the
use of gas. There are now close upon
1000 electric light central stations in
America, but by the census of 1900 there
were then only S77 gas plants, and the
number was not growing perceptibly.
The gas plants were earning an income
of $75.0O0.e00. Last year the central sta
lions earned $S5.000,00O. The cost of
construction and equipment of both was
over $500000.000. Gas employed 2,40O
men and electric light %, 300.
But this is only half the story. 1t is
estimated that there are over $4,000 iSo-
lated electric light plants in this coun-
try. and that they represent as many
lamps as do the central stations. New
like that in the Waldorf-Astoria, would
run many an ambitious western city
Hence the figures against gas are
doubled in most respects. The 10000, 900
incandeseent lamps burning nightly be-
come 10000 eco. The 100000 arc lamps

THE DYNsSTS; Drama of the Napoleonic

The dramatic form of Mr. Hardys latest

fixes it's place as distinctly not of the stage
That subtitle runs "A drama of the Napo-
leonic wars, In three parts, nineteen acts
and one hundred and twenty scenes" Fur

hope on the authors part for a future pom

tEat he has cast aside all thought of the

dramatic form? y very brief reading suf-

LAKEWOOD PLEASURES.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LAKEWOOD, N. J., February u, 1904.
All nature and forms of animal life in
Lakewood have taken on new color and
new life in the short space Of a few days.
and it seems incredible that so radical a
change could have borne in upon the con-
ventioral-almost unobtrusively. The fact
is that Lakewoodites were pretty well ac
customed to the pinching cold. and when
the warm weather came they were taken
off their guard For two days the mercury
ranged in the neighborhood of TO- and the
remains of the snow blanket ran miniature
rivers in the streets. Then came colder
days, thrilling and invigorating, which
brought one of the finest ice coverings on
the lake in years Hundreds have enjoyed
the skating. and other hundreds have rev.
eied in the delights of woodland walks
again free from snow and ice, where the
squirrels rustic the dead leaves and a hun
dred forms of bird life seem to have sprung
into song in a day. But these features Of
Lakewood life are quite customary, after
all, and almost every season April days are
sardwiched into February.
1t is fortunate that ideal weather should
have fallen in what is known in Lakewood
as holiday week, for every week that bears
a national holiday sees Lakewood thronged
with visitors The Lincoln's birthday
crowd had arrived in force by Wednesday
evening and all vacant rooms at the hotels
tertainment at the Laurel House and the
Laurel-in-the-Pines Were very generally
appreciated.
The golf sticks were brought out this
week and FURNISHED up for the Lincolns
birthday handicap and the regular Satur-
day handicap at the Country Club. There
was a large entry list on both days. and
since one in the series of entertainments
representing the social life of the club
came off on the holiday date the facilities

ence at the club house on Friday after

Kitchen Thermometers.
From the Cooking Club.


The use of cooking thermometers. which
until recently was almost thoroughly con-
fined to hotels and restaurants. is increas-
ing in private kitchens Most modern
housekeepers count them nowadays as ne
cessities and they are to be found in any
house furnishing shop. They register
scale of temperature which somewhat ex-
ceeds 400 degrees In addition they Indicate
at what temperature different meats should
be cooked. Mutton needs the lowest tenn
perature. 800 degrees. beef requires 80 and
apork and veal each 800 degrees. Bread and
kastry need 400 degrees, but biscuit must
have 49, Plain cake bakes well at 800
degrees. while sponge cake needs only 400
The thermometers, which cost from s. to
So, can be used In boiling water or fat as
well as in the oven.

wells what would have become of the H.
luminant of our fathers.
Such is the place at which we live to-
day that while millions of people in this
country have not yet got up to the stage
of civilization represented by the use
of gas. but when they encounter it cas-
ually employ it suicidally, other millions
have outgrown and discarded it, and will
have none of it even for a curling iron
or a chatting dish, let alone for lighting.
To put it briefly, the use of electricity
for lighting in New York state alone has
increased over 1000 per cent in ten
years, and the use of electricity for
power, also from central stations, has
increased in the decade nearly 200 per
cent And yet electricians are inclined to
think they have only just started in.

Japan, granted English ships special ex-
emption In the coastwise laws, could the
United States object. especially when It is
reciprocal between Australia and Japan9 I
answered by saying that while the United
States could not look upon 1t with favor,
they would certainly be estopped from criti-
cising such an act.
Another Cause of Friction.
Another cause of friction, he stated, was
the manner in which the enforcement of our
immigration laws was carried out in refer
ence to first-class passengers in transit
through the United States, and ne asked me
what the United States would say if Japan
requested the privilege of establishment in
the United States of the same Japanese
quarantine regulations that the United
States has in Japan, particularly. he added,
as our quarantine is far more strict than
your own.
1 could but reply that the United States
would either have to grant Japan's request
or remove her own officials from Japan.
He then laughed and remarked that one
of the causes of irritation to the japanese
was the fact that SO many of the officials
of the United States place the educated
Japanese gentleman in the same class with
the Chinese cooley, and added that he only
made this statement in order that I might
see that the Japanese people were thinking
about these questions.
Editorial Expressions.
Some days afterward / ran across some
editorials in the Japanese papers pertinent
to this discussion. In long article on the
coasting trade of the United States the Jill
Shimpo said:
Although the international connections
between the United States and Japan was
organized in a peculiarly friendly relation
and is still continuing SO. the recent devel-
opment of the Pacific trade causes their mu
tual interest to often interfere. Now that
the United States is going to apply to her
new insular possessions the coaSting laws
originally enacted to govern the trade be-
tween ports in the United States proper 1t
largely affects the interests of Japan to
strongly suggest her friendship with view
to a reconsideration of the subject in the
interest of Japan. 1t is not exaggerating to
say the Japanese steamship companies will
lose 80 per cent of their total business by
the extension of this law to the Philippines.
Needless to say any nations at liberty to
enact any laws or enforce them in their ter
ritory, but as in the case Of the United
States. to monopolize line in the ocean by
extending a law originally enacted for the
coast trade of the mother country, to her
territory thousands of miles distant is alb
surd in view of the international relations.
1t is quite reasonable 20 protest strongly
in the protection of our own interests
