Their Ideas About Women.

The Hottentots and Bnshmen believe
women are necessary evil, and the
younger they break their wives in the
better. They feel that ten years IS
none too young, for girls of these years
are more pliable and more easily mold
ed. 1t must be granted that the Hot
tentots use milder methods than do
the Australians. They do not kill the
girls who refuse to marry. The Hot
tentot often goes to the hut of a girl
and makes her cup of coffee, then
hands it to her without adding a word
If she drinks half Of it he knows he;
answer is yes" If she refuses to
touch the coffee he feels his suit is
hopeless, but he is not grieved: ho
visits neighboring hut and tries his
luck again.

Nose Poked Into Other Businesses.
The man with good olfactory Or
gan can earn big pay outside the
dairy business. The whisky testers
rely upon the sense of smell more
than upon that OF taste to judge goods
and some whisky smellers draw large
salaries. These men both smell and
taste In judging the goods. They pou-
q small amount of the liquor into a
glass, whirl the glass sharply and
sniff the vapor.
Alcoholic cordials, especially such
as creme de menthe, chartreuse and
absinthe, are tested almost entirely by
the sense of smell, and big buyers
would rather have the judgment of a
smaller than of the best chemist upon
the quality Of the goods.

J'u-Jitsu W. Hockey.

II you want to rear a nation
To be Mt for future scraps,
Cut away this imitation
That you're taking from the Japs
You can pever win your battles
With these money springs and squats-
TO the Highlands and play hockey Wit,

"Hoot man! Hoot!' says big Macdon-
aid,
And MacWilliams answers "Hoot."
As he smashes Angus Campbell
On the apex of his snoot
While the polished floor is freckled
BY score OF crimson spots
All, you're busy when you hockey with

Hear Macpherson's smothered curses
As his bosom swells with pride,
And the horses on the hearses
Paw the atmosphere outside
With the coroner and undertaken
Waiting business on the spot
Oh. you're strenuous when YOU hockey

School fund May BE $1,000 coz. 600.

The school fund Of Minnesota is
growing at an enormous rate, It al al
ready amounts to over $16,0 OO,OOOz
and at present is increasing at the
rate of $l,O0o,ON year. 1t is con-
servatively estimated that the fund
will reach $30OOO!O0O, but there is
strong probability that $loo,oo0,00
will be the figure if the law remains
unchanged.
The assets of this fund consist of
land, timber and minerals. Two
sections in every township were re.
served by government grant as
school sections, and in addition all
lands classified as swamp" are
turned over to the state as fast as
they are surveyed, to be divided
equally between the school fund
and the fund for the maintenance
of state institutions. The proceeds
from these lands are the foundation
of the school fund. Lands fit fox
farming purposes are sold to aet-
tiers on long time contracts at
minimum price OF $5per acre. When
there is merchantabIe timber, the
stumpage is sold at auction, the
land being reserved. When iron is
found the state reserves royalty
of Is cents ton for every ton Of the
ore taken out.
Not cent::of the big fund is being
expended. 1t is accommodating in
principal, and only the interest is
being used for the current expenses
of the public schools. The interest
money is distributed to school dis
tricts twice year on per capita
basis, together with the proceeds of
the mill direct tax levy, and this
distribution amounts to more than
81 year for every child who attends
school forty days or more.
1t is likely that the trainers of the
constitution, which provides that
this fund must forever be preserved
inviolate and uuditninished,h had no
idea that the lands owned by the
state would become 80 valuable as
has proved the case, and there is a
growing sentiment that a limit be
set to the fund and the excess be ex.
pended in public improvements. It
is argued that this measuring of
great inns of money for the benefit
of future generationsis an injustice
to the pioneers Of the sta t., aud that
some of the money ought to be II sed
in building good roads through, the
wilderness and in draining swamp
lands.
The iron ore lands owned by the
state have hardly been scratched
yet. They themselves will yield
many millions of dollars. An esti.
mate that the school fund will reach
close TO $l0000OOyD if the constitu-
ton is not amended is not exagger-
ated. ~ -:

How Bird. 1uijl Nests.

Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together PELLETS of pre-
pared road mud. Most Of the material
is obtained from the drying puddles
on the high roads. If aot mixed with
anything else the ten lency of these
pellets would be to crumble when dry.
But the swallow tribe is supplied with
= mucous secretion which enables it
to gum these particle together. The
swallows nests, from which the Chi
nese birds nest gouo" is made, are
constructed OF this mucous matter
only. An Indian swallow which builds
little boat-shaped nests against the
trunks Of lofty trees practically
makes them Of d iet' saliva.
