SHOULD HAVE BET
TER SIDEWALKS

The common council of the city of
Wausau has recently passed resolutions
making it unlawful to patch holes
in sidewalks. This is a practice which
prevails in our city and would it not
be wise for our council to pass like
resolutions? Everyone knows of the
deplorable conditions of most of the
board walks in and about the city
loose boards lying in wait to trip the
unwary, holes in which his needless
foot may be caught, thick patches of
slabs over which he may stumble, or
thin patches of tin whereon his shoe
leather is sacrificed, a step at some
unsuSpected place due to careless grad
ing, all these condition actually exist,
to say nothing of worn out walks
which shed fine PARTICLES OF wood
which sticks closer than brother to
ones best trousers. and nail heads
which hurt tender feet.
There is perhaps nothing which
q
more than smooth, Well-laid walks and
the most progressive cities are now
compelling property owners to lay
cement walks, and in one city they
even went so far as to tear up every
board walk in the place and the peo-
pie walked on the ground until good
cement walks were put in. This was
perhaps radical measure but it at
tanned it's end. and our council might
dare, especially since we have mayor
elected on the Citizens ticket to
compel all new walks to be Of cement.
let us make safe those we have left,

we have idlerS or those who are not
worked up to their full capacity.
But / am sJraying from my subject,
which is the wholesonenesS Of change.
The great thing to avoid is getting in
tG a groove. Nothing so dulls the
mind. and the duled mind never yet
did good work. 1t is a safe lule of
intellectual life to cultivate as many
interests as we can. Many men have
found the greatest possible relief in a
change Of labor We say very expressi-
vely of an actor who has played one
part too long that he has grown stale.
He may appear to act it as well as
ever, but we miss something of buoy
ancy and vivid ness he is stale. It is
SO with all men who narrow their
minds too completely to one pursuit.
| should not wonder if there is many
business gradually falling behind
merely because its head has grown
stale. He has got into a groove; he
has no new ideas, nor any power Of
generating them; and little as he
knows it, the best thing to pull his
business together would be for him to
take trip round the world. When
he came back he would come back
with fresh mind, and, if he had pro-
flied by what he saw, with many fresh
ideas which should bear golden fruit.

THE WHOLESOMENESS
OF CHANGE

Everybody travels now, partly be-
cause The facilities for travel are
greatly increased, and partly because
complex condition of civilization
creates evils for which change Of scene
is the natural remedy.
Frequent short holidays are prob
ably better fer the man who works at
high pressure then an annual long
holiday. Even though it is only
couple OF days in month spent in
the open air, in a new scene, it will
do much to inyigoiate brain and
nerve. A few days at the club house
or farther up the Wisconsin river
among the Pine will increase your
appetite quiet your nerves and induce
a good nights sleep.
Medicine cannot achieve these
results. Even leisure in ones own
house is of very little avail. The
great cure is entire change Of envi-
ronment. There is good deal of the
original nolnad or gipsy left in civili-
ised man, a vague memory in the
blood of the day when our forefathers
, lived in tents. We are all the better
for indulging the gypsy occasionally.
1t is the only way Of subdulng him.
For never does our own city looks SO
sWeetly habltable, never is our own
home SO pleasant, as when we return
after wandering to the use and wont
of daily life And therein is the gain
of true holiday; we return with that
real eagerneSs for work which is the
best guarantee Of good work, and
with a new pleasure in our own city
deepened and increased by cur ac-
quaintance with other cities.
But the reason for the modern love
OF travel lies deeper Life has inceaSed
its pace tremendously in the last
quarter of century. The man who
works 1T all works much harder then
his father did. The old leisurely ways
of business are quite abolished. The
haste and fever of great cities has
been communicated to the whole
nation. Where life is lived at high
pressure there is corresponding waste
of tissue. Brain and nerve are rapidly
used up. There comes at last not
exactly a breakdown, but a sense of
utter Weariness lack Of interest in
the details of the days work.
Beecher once said man ought to be
ashamed OF himself If he did not live
to be seventy, and what he meant is
quite clear. The body is a machine
fitted TO do a certain amount OF work;
and if we SO mishandie the machine
that it breaks down in nid-life un-
dtubtedly it is something to be
ashamed of.
IN Grand Rapids we have more men
and women that are over worked then

TRIPLETS
Three Young Lions Born to the
Mundy Carnival Company
Yesterday.

Yesterday morning Spittire, a lion
eSS in the animal show of the Mundy
Carnival company, gave birth to three
cubs, two females and one male. The
new arrivals are not very fierce look
ing, being only about ten inches long
and look great deal like small pug
dogs. Another lioness gave birth to
litter of cubs last week at Fond du-
Lac and she is now rearing one OF
the Wausau brood and caring for it
as though it were her own. This was
done as Spittire at first appeared to
neglect her young, but now all the
little lion babies give promise of be-
ing Eealthy youngsters. The Mundy
company now has eight cubs, all born
within the past few months.
Mr.. Mundy allowed Miss Amanda
Hildensperger, the Queen of the Car
nival, a sight of the Young lions and
one of them will be named in her
honor. The male lion will in all pro-
liability be named Wausau, and mayor
Zimmerman is expected to officiate at
the christening some time during the
week.-Wausau Record.

LEARN TO SWIM

Il is surprising how little attention
is given this subject. 1t is almost
universally conceded that every per-
son should learn to swim, but it is
self-evident that not one person out
OF tive can swim, or ever made any
determined effort to learn.
1t is strange that man of all the
animals is most helpless in the water.
and strange that as an adult he ex-
hibits less capacity for self preservation
in it than does the infant Falling
into the water and strangling
slightly, the frightened adult throws
his arms into the air and sinks out of
sight. Plunge year old babe in the
water and he will right himself and
strike out dog fashion with both
hands, swimming.
S4imming like many other things
is easiest learned when we are young
and it is well nigh criminal for parents
to neglect this essential part Of a
child'S education.
In the opening of the bathing sea-
son just at hand, no vacation resolves
should be more closely adhered to and
carried out than the resolve of a per-
son to learn how to swim. 1t may mean
life to him because of the knowledge;
it may be life to others. In any de-
gree of efficiency at swimming there
is pleasure and recreation, while in
an emergency it is more than an art.
1t should be the duty of every adult
to learn to swim, if suitable body of
water is at hand.

TRAINING SCHOOLS
OF WISCONSIN
By Miss Jennie L. Raath.

Before one can assume PROFESSION
he should have certain training to fit
him for the same. The lawyer must
have attended a law school, the
doctor a medical school, the druggist
school of pharmacy. The state has
for many years supported a school of
pedagogy in our university at Madi-
son and normal schools scattered
throughout the state for the purpose
Of advancing the teachers profession.
yet her rural schools have not ad-
vanced as they should and many of
them it is said are on the decline.
These schools are the ones that
should receive immediate attention.
Many of the great men of the
present time have laid the foundation
of their education in the district
school, The only institution that gives
any aid to the rural school teachers
is the annual teachers institute,
which calls teachers together for
only two or three weeks thus render
ing such meager service that it can
hardly be termed professional train
ing.
Yet the work of the institute is
very valuable in improving the
teachers methods in school organi-
zatlons, managements, teaching and
enlarging and making more accurate
their knowledge of the subjects
taught in the common schools. The
county superindents have expressed
their great satisfaction at the results
and they have been greatly encouraged
and strengthened in their own work
by the new impetus given.
In the founding OF normal schools
it was expected that the common
schools would be supplied with COM
petent teachers, but experience has
shown that they can not possibly
meet the demand. They graduate
annually from the advanced course
not more than four hundred students
and from the elementary course not
more than two hundred. The city
schools of the state employ about
1900 teacher and the rural schools
$500. OF the rural school teachers at
least one thousand five hundred) of
them are new teachers who have had
no special training to fit them for
such service. Out of two hundred
fifty thousand pupils attending the
rural schools ouly $500 or one per
cent. ever find their way into higher
institutions of learning such as high
schools, normals, colleges or the
university. This leaves about
247 800 children who never rise higher
than the common schools. The larger
pupils have mainly abandoned these

Mining in Ancient Times.

In Pliny's Natural History, written
In the first century of our era, occurs
the following: Gold is found in our
part of the world, not to mention the
gold extracted from the earth in India
by the ants, and in Scythia by the
griffins. Among us 1t is procured in
three different ways; the first of
which is in the shape of dust, found in
running streams, the Tagus in Spain,
for instance, the Padus in Italy, the
Hebrus in Thracia. the Pactolus in
Asia, and the Ganges in India. Indeed
there is no gold found in more per-
fect state than this, thoroughly pol
ished as it is by the continual attrition
OF the current" Mining by means of
shafts is not new, but was known in
Plinys time.
