The Simple Life.

A London journal, appropriately
named the King, which is deep in the
mysteries Of royal wardrobes, relates
with bated breath that the German en-
press, who is honorary colonel Of sew
eral regiments, once by mistake re-
viewed her troops in the uniform of a
lieutenant instead of in full regalia
This was a terrible breach of military
etiquette, and so mortified the empress
that she stayed in the kitchen for a
week afterward baking pies such as her
mother never had the nerve to make
This week in Minneapolis society has
been all torn up over the problem
whether to go to Parsifal in a blue
waist and pink skirt or to plunge ecstat
tcally into the suspender clothes. In a
week or two mother will be trying tc
decide whether to rake the yard in a
new poke bonnet or just to grab ur
fathers old army hat. Truly existence
is becoming too complicated to be all
lived in one life. In the words OF
Jerry the Goat: "Me back to the
simple life -

house Yesterday afternoon by a vote Of
Sc to II. An amendment by W. Z.
Roberts provided for payment in install

this is to keep members with. some

The Ware bill reducing railroad fares
was sent to the judiciary committee on
a point raised by George ". Armstrong
as to its constitutionality. The bill
fixes the maximum fare at 21a cents,
and requires interchangeable mileage
books to be sold at 2 cents. 1t g

one railroad to act as agent for another
in selling, transportation, and the

3 THE KAISER THRU A FRENCH.
MANS EYEs.-A French prophet of tho
future OF Germany has appeared. He is
Henri de Noussanne. In his book The
Kaiser as He Is. or the Real William H.,
translanted by Walter sLittlefield, ne pre-
diets disintegration for the German en-
pire when the emperor is gone. The en-
perors reign, says the prophet, has been
that OF mailman, and after it must come
the deluge. fs5asa' Eie1
While M. de Ncussanne's predictions
impress ore as extreme, his sketch of af-
fairs In Germany and of the character OF
the emperor is decidedly worth while to
the reader. He turns the .limelight on af-
fairs and emperor from many angles, and
from each, one catches a new impression
One of the most striking chapters Is that
on the dismissal of Bismarck. in which
;Bismarck's own story Of the split between
himself and William II. is recited. An
other chapter. at the head Of which is
William II. and Cod contains flood fol
thought" in weighing the character Of the
kaiser. In it is shown by extracts from
the emperor's addresses his views of the
divineness of his mission, Here is one:

Sanity City Trails Minnie in An
other Line of Industry.
Minneapolis ships and receives

Minneapolis ships and receives an
average Of 100000 tons Of junk annual,
ly, according to the 1904 report of
former State Labor Commissioner John
O'Donnell. This is twice the amount
handled by st. Paul junk, dealers. In
the various junk yards Of Minneapolis,
there are 200 employees, forty of whom
are women. Ninety-four. men are
licensed as Junk peddlers. Duluth
handles $4,000 tons Of junk a year, and
has sixty resident peddlers.
I Much of the report of the labor de-
partment has been published from time
to time as the various subdivisions were
completed One feature which is
specially interesting, now. that the sub
iect of free employment bureaus is be-
ing agitated, is a report on circular
letters sent out by the department early
last year to all the towns in the state
asking for information concerning the
openings for employment and indus
trial enterprises. The department re-
ceived 200 answers, Of which Isl were
Of real value and have been tabulated
in the report. A large number of the
small towns make up the list showing
what each needs, from a drug, store
to a blacksmith shop or paper mill
The report is in two volumes. The
second volume contains the statistical
part of the biennial report and has been
out several months.

Preservatives in Food.

Borax, saccharin and other food pre-
servatives are harmless, according to
the dictum of lawyers and chemists
who represent the manufacturers. The
house committee on public health has
taken the word of these gentlemen as
final, and has killed bill forbidding
the use of all preservatives in beverages
and food products.
While hearing from experts, it would
not have been bad idea for the COM
mittee to get the opinion of some who
are disinterested. The controversy over
this, subject has waged for years, and
chemists disagree widely. It is signif-
cant, however, that nearly all the ex=
perts who maintain these preparations
harmless are known to be retained by
the manufacturers, while government
experts, as rule, including DR.. H. W.
Wiley of the department Of agriculture,
counsel against the use of such agencies.
When. there is such disagreement, it is
surely acting in the interest Of the pub
lie health to be conservative and on the
safe side.
. One Of the worst features Of the pre-
servative habit is that these substances
are used to conceal evidences Of decay
or inferior character in the food prod
uct. 1t is the duty of the state to pro-
tect its citizens from injurious and adul-
terated foods. Minnesota has done more
in that direction than some Of the
neighboring states, but it is not likely
to do too much.

The Task Of Pruning.

The fatesof state institutions in Min
nesota, f or the next two years, lies prac-
tically5 in the hands Of ten men, the
Joint subcommittee on appropriations,
which is about to draw up the "omni-
bus' bill, providing the money for
buildings and maintenance. There is
seldom any appeal from the action OF
this committee, which is assumed to
know the facts as to funds that will be
available, and the relative needs of the
institutions. Since the creation of the
board of control it's task is not SO diff
cult, but the recommendations Of that
board are not taken as final, and the
labor is one of immense Importance.
The committee consists Of Senators
Brewer, Lord, McGill, Ward and Com
stock, and of Representatives Roberts,
Anderson, Fulton, Putnam and Adams.
Minneapolis has two members, st. Paul
two, and the country districts the re-
naming six. The committee is strong
one, and can be depended on to do sub
stantial justice to the interests clam
oring for attention.
| The task this year includes provision
for three new institutions. There is
the building for soldiers wives and
widows at Minnehaha, for which $780,
| 900 is asked.
The claims of this enterprise cannot
be too strongly emphasized. The WON
en- Of the state are unanimous in their
request for a separate training school
for girls, which also should be provided
at this session. The sanatorium for
consumptives, projected two years ago.
also wants an appropriation for build,
ings. ..-..
The state university, as a: result of
the burning of the old main building
asks for a commodious and up-to-date
structure to house the departments that
were burned out. A building for worn

school is asking for more equipment

OF course, it is always a question
whether in the old days great men made

There was probably a mutual reaction.

The Juvenile Court.

The wisdom of passing a Juvenile
court law appears to be generally con-
coded in the legislature. There are
some questions of detail yet to be de-
termined, among the most important
being decision as to whether to i'm
pose the work of the Juvenile court
upon the district or the municipal
bench. The advocates of the bill gen
orally favor placing this work on the
shoulders Of the district judges on the
general theory that the best talent and
experience is not too good to expend
| upon the care of delinquent and de-
pendent children, and the district court,
as rule, is supposed to command a
little higher grade Of qualification and
larger experience than the municipal
| bench. -. -
In his address before the members of
the judiciary committee in the house
yesterday, Judge Mack of Chicago
touched upon this point and very forci-
bly, emphasized the thought that the
business Of the juvenile court is not
beneath the dignity of any district
l.Iu
here that this is not important work
for district judges and the. same senti-
ment, Judge Mack says, prevailed at
the outset in Chicago, but that mis-
taken notion has been corrected there.
The public and the Judges themselves
have come to realize that the settle
ment of disputes involving dollars and
cents, no matter how many, are compar
atively unimportant when measured by
the responsibility devolving upon the
judge who settles the fate Of the de.
inquent or dependent child and de.
termines in such large measure the
character and environment Of the ward
who is to become citizen.
This business requires two days each
week Of Judge Mack time in Chicago
Business Of this character would GER
tainly not require nearly as much time
in Minneapolis, but we do not doubt
the correctness Of the judges opinion
with regard to his official duties whe1
he says that no questions of civil prac
tice give him greater concern, involve
more conscientious effort on his part
than those which come before him, sit

ence of better grade of capacity fol
