Topeka, Kan.-The manual training

tangled drinking arrangement for the

The new drinking system is a cupless,
dipperless affair, supposed to be highly
sanitary and the latest thing in School

dipper, one who wishes to drink bends
over the fountain and plunses his face,
or part OF it, in bubbling stream OF

New York Tribune. The Dutch built
4 dixie around piece of the sea and
then pumped the lake they had made
entirely dry. This was so successful
that other portions of the sea have
been reclaimed in the same way. Now
the Netherlanders have set out to dry
up q sea, the Z'yder Zee, and reclaim
about 900 square miles. The cost OF
this undertaking is estimated at $41,'

cost of the New York subway. The
Dutch government, however, expects to
get its money back, as it will have

expects to get 4 rental Of $4.50O 900 q

One might think that such marshy

SCHOOL SYSTEMS GROWTH
Report Of Chicago's Board Of Edaca-
ton Shows Decided Advance +
ment for the Year. J,

Chicago.-The annual report OF tho
board of education shows material prog
ress in all branches of the Chicago public
school system. -Four new school build
ings have been completed at a cost of
$4,000, seven others have been COM
menced to cost 81. 100, 900, additions cost
ing $3O5, 1000 are under way or completed,
school attendance has increased, even
ing schools have been extended, and the
teaching force has been more effective.
In discussing the years work, Superin.
tendent Cooley said:
"The schools have been more crowded
than at any time for the past four years,
probably due to the new child labor law.
The school board has been required to
rent many quarters to house the in
crease of number of pupils attending the
schools.
Fire ordinances have made necessary
many repairs and alterations, and these
changes have made the school finances
very close"
The average enrolment in the public
schools for the year has been about $780,
900 pupils. ::
Twenty-three schools have been open
to evening classes, and the board has
planned to open many more next year.

Chinese would not have been able
to driSe Admiral Tosos fleet away
Fsbut jspan would hardly have ven
tured to disregarda protest from
China, Even, therefore. if Russia &
complaints are we'll founded. they
relate to events that must have
long been known to her; and the
fact that there are brought forward
only at this late day indicates
Russia's intention to make a point
against China rather than to protect
her own right.
What foundation there is for the
fear that the Chinese will raise
against all foreigners is not now
apparent. 1t such a situation exist
in China, it would seem more
reaonable that Russia should have
made that danger the subject of her
circular lntead of threatening to dis
regard China neutral right.
Russia's prolonged occupation OF
Manchuria is, of itself, defiance of
China g sovereign rights. But also
the Japanese claim that in the recent
raid of Cassacks around the left
flank Of Field Marshal, Olyama's
army General Mistchenko must have
moved through Chinese territory.
If this claim be proven true, it
will not De necessary to seek further
for the real reason for Russia g cir

several months before entering a
protest against Russia's diregard of
China g right but will probably
both speak and act quickly. The
spoken word will be merely mat
ter of form. Action will take che
shape OF meeting the Russian troops
on Chinese soil whenever they are
found there.
And what will the Chinese do
about it2 Having neither the force
to keep the Japanese out of their
barbors nor the land force to check
the Russian raids, they must per-
force submit to any indignity that
may be leveled at them. Such
might drive the Chinese
to a general outburst of wrath
againt foreigners, but in that case
such a result would have been i'm

ATIMESY SUGGESTION

In a recent issue of the Minneap-
oils Journal it makes some refer
ances to Senator Wahburn q sug-
gestion, as follows: y
Senator Washburn makes 8 sug-
getion today which ought to and no
doubt will receive confederation at
the hands of the Legislature and the
capital commission. It certinly will
be very embarrassing to us in the
future if we do not put upon the
walls of our new caitol fitting rep
resentation of the most glorious and
thrilling event in our states war
history. The charge of the First
Minnesota at Gettysburg reflected
undying honor upon the name OF
the American soldier; no more brill
liant and heroic charge was ever
made by the soldiers of any country
or any time. Beside it the famous
charge of the Light Brigade is un-
important. The man OF the First
Minnesota were sent to almost GER
tain death and they knew it, but
they saved the day.
OF coure the old soldiers of the
First Minnesota cannot press this
matter themelves and will not even
suggest it publicly, but how shall
the rest of us ever excue failure
to write with the artists brush on
the walls of our capitol the history
of their great deed. Here are men
living among lis today who we're in

setly have they borne the honor

that the state to whose name they

glory as soldiers of Liberty and the
Union is ready to acknowledge the
debt in this approprite and perma-
nent way. The new capitol il to

historical and allegorical subjects by

A PECULIAR SELECTION

Does the senate OF Minnesota wlsl
to have it understood that it is dis
posed to treat the temperance ques
tion as a jokes, or, is it distcintlJ
unfriendly TO any efforts that may
be made by the friends of temper
ance to promote that cause in this
states
These questions are suggested by
the action of the presiding officer Of
the senate in making the attorney
for the st. Paul brewers chairman
Of the committee ON temperance
Now, ,wo have nothing to say against
the man who happens to hold this
position as to his personal qualities,
but it ia manitestly absurd to expect
any sympathy with measures for
the reduction of intemperance in
this state from man occupying the
relation to the brewing interests
and the liquor interest generally
which this senate chairman sustains.
If the senate rad contained q saloon
keeper and he had been selected for
the craftsmanship Of the committee
on temperance, it might have SEEM
ed little more like an intention to
treat the temperance question with
contempt, but the assurance of hos
tility to temperance measures could
not lave been more complete.
The senate makes a mistake in al
lowing itself to be placed in this at
htude before the state in respect to
this important matter. It is not ex-
pected that fanatics or cranks shall
have opportunity to exploit their
notions in such positions, nor is it
expected that the temperance cause
shall be made ridiculous and the ex-
istence of such a committee itself
farce by selecting for it's chairman
any man holding the relations to the
liquor interests which the chairman
of this committee sustalns. The
thing looks badly and reflects upon
the republican party of the state,
which has in previous years done
much to promote the cause of prac-
tical temperance by effective legisla-
tive action, and is expected to be in
sympathy with it now.--Minneapols

RUSSIA'S CIRCULAR FORSTALLED

Russia, in notifying the other
powers Of her decision to take such
action with regard to China as her
interest demanded, may have in
tended to follow up her circular
by at once diregarding China's neu-
trality, SO that the other powers
would find themelves facing an ac-
complished fact, TOD late to inter-
fere with the Russian scheme. If
such was the purpose, the czar's
government will probably be chag-
rined to learn that Secretary fay
doubtless kept we'll informed by
our am bassador in St. Petersburg
had already asked the great pow
ers whether they still favored the
policy to which they gave their ad-
herence last spring-namely, the
maintenance Of the territorial integ-
rity of China and the continuance
OF the ''open door,. And a still
further obstacle to the supposed
programme of Russia will be found
in the replies of the Great Britain,
Germany and Italy. all of whom
united with the United States in re-
affirming their previous declarations
just as Russia was sending out her
circular note. -
Whatever may have been Russia's
intention, tho combined influence
of four such powers as have already
spoken can hardly fail to restrain
her from further overt violation of
China's neutrality. The allegation
made in the crircuiar letter to the
powers are serious; but taking all the
circumstances into confederation, the
powers are not likely to regard them
as jutifying any extreme step on
Russia's part.
It may or may not be true-as
claimed by Russia-that the Jap
anese have been using an anchor
age in Chinese waters a rendezvous
for Vice Admiral Togo's fleet; but if
Russia believed violation of neu-
traity was taking place it is extra
ordinary that no protest against it
should have been made until after
.Japan's fleet had been wholly with
drawn. It is true. if Russia had
raiesd this question six months ago

Writing Of Savage and CiviliEe1
Dress" Edwin Swift Balch says that
while 1t might be assumed that the
superior development of the brain OF
civilized man would result in some
form of dress far better and more
tasteful than anything found among
savages, it may be doubted whether
this is the case. One marked error of
civilized dress is its interference with
the proper ventilation Of the skin. The
human animal breathes with his en-
tire skin; refuse matter is thrown of
as perspiration through every pore.
The fact is we'll known, hut in the
garments Of civilization it is almost
universally unrecognized.

The most important indication OF ro-
business in q ram taken singly Is am
pie chest development, which carries
along with it heart girth and width,
says Professor Thomas Shaw in Amer
lean Sheep Breeder. The prepotent ram
usually has such chest development to
the extent of being positively massive
in degree. The evidences of inherent
energy include an easy carriage and a
movement so active as to be almost
sprightly, notwithstanding the massive
ness of form referred to- The animal
thus furnished will carry his head
proudly. The head is elevated when
he walks, the ears are fairly active,
and the eye is full and bright and OBJ
servant. The animal appears to enjoy
locomotion for its own sake, as though
furnished with a supply Of energy that
was seeking an outlet. a third indlca-
ton of this class is the head itself. The
head should be strong almost to the
border line of coarse rather than small
and refined. In other words, it must
be masculine rather than feminine in
its cast.
