A PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION

Keeping pace with business development in
Minneapolis we find that educational matters
have not been neglected. One of the largest edu
cational institutions, the Electric Business Col.
lege, after years of prosperity has, by reason of
its increased patronage, been pushed into larger
quarters.
The College is located in it's new home at the
corner of Third Avenue South and Fifth Street.
The location is the best the city affords, being n
quiet corner in refined section.
The best faculty Of business educators to be
procured will be in charge of the various de-
partments, which includes Bookkeeping, Short
hand. Typewriting. Penmanship, Te!egraphy.
Preparatory, Electrical engineering, Civil Serv-
ice, Teachers and Physical Culture.
All attractive feature will be a thoroughly
equipped gymnasium for both ladies and gentle.
men.
The large number of graduates holding re-
sponsible positions is a standing tribute TO the
thoroughness of the work. All inspection of the
new quarters discloses the fact that the Electric
VIII be the best and most thoroughly equipped
commercial school in the Northwest.
The fall term opens September 4th. Any
young person interested in commercial work
should write the Electric Business College. Min

HIS "klNGSMAN."
The Silk Neckerchief Worn by the
London CostermOnger.

The Silk Neckerchief Worn by the
London CostermOnger.
Speaking Of London costermongers,
Mayhem says: ''The man who does
not wear his silk neckerchief-his
'kingsman,' as it is called-is known to
be in desperate circumstances" The
neckerchief is more priced than any
other item Of his attire and a coster's
caste is at stake If his kingsman be
not Of the most approved pattern.
This habit is derived from the
gypsies and doubtless dates from
some long forgotten oriental custom.
It Is very curious that a taste for
similar colors prevails among the
Hindoos, gypsies and costermongers.
Red and yellow are the favorite colors
and the Oldest OF these, the coster
chooses his plush waistcoat and his
kingsman, the gypsy his breeches and
his wife her shawl and gown; the
Hindoo his robe and turban. If a
fight occurs, the favorite colored ar
ticle Of dress receives the greatest
care. The pugilistic coster ties his
kingsman round his waist or his leg,
where, by the rule of the ring, it is
comparatively safe. = London Tele-

FIVE MINUTES.
Under Some circumstances 1t Seems
(, Very Long Time.

Under Some Circumstances 1t Seems
y Very Ltsn.: Time.
In murder trial before Il western
court the prisoner was able to account
for tho whole Of his time except five
minutes Oh the evening when tie crime
was committed. His counsel argued
that it Was Impossible for him to have
killed the man under the circumstances
in so brief Il period, and Oh that ple;,
largely based his defense, the other
testimony being strongly against his
client.
When the prosecuting attorney re-
Piled, he said: "How long Il time really
is five minutes? Let us see Will his
honor command absolute silence in the
courtroom for that space?'
The judge graciously complied. There
was clock on the wall Every eye in
the courtroom was fixed upon it as the
pendulum licked off the seconds. There
was breathless silence.
We all know how time which. is
waited for creeps and halts and at last
does not seem to move at all.
The keen witted counsel waited until
the tired audience gave sigh Of relief
at the close of the period, and then
asked quietly:
Gould he not have struck one fatal
blow in all that timer"
The prisoner was found guilty, and,
as 1t was proved afterward, justly.

AS soon as it was known through

great crowds Of mourners gathered
around its sacred remains" and held
regular funeral services for two or

Artificial Matrimonial Selection Has
Given Poor Results.
No one knows what type will be the

We often see the ex-
tinction of families Of parents whom
any physician would have pronounced
ideal, but their children lacked resist
ance to the invasion of pathogenic Or
ganisms or there was some other de-
feet which made them easy targets for
causes Of physical decay.
On the other hand, we quite often
find that parents below par physically
have fine families. The curious unions
which take place must be the result of
laws such as we find in every biologic
Man has the same in
stinct found in lower animals to select
q mate who is more or less different
from himself.
Should like types mate, their COM

gerated as to be harmful and the line
perish. 1t is an instinct Of those of
great intelligence to marry those of

revert to the better average 1t is very
evident that if we try to improve the
race Intellectually by the marriage Of
like types we will violate the natural
law upon which our existence is based.

A book on Stevenson tells Of speech
he made at a gathering of Scotchmen
in Samoa. He said: II cannot say why
we are proud to be Scotsmen, but the
fact remains that we are. It is not
that our land Is sunny like these trop-
ical isles, and it's climate Is not even
lovely. scotland's history contains lit
tie that is not disgusting to people Of
humane feelings. That long brawl
which is called Scottish history con-
tains scarcely one object that Scots
have patience with" The address drew
tears to the eyes Of a German who had
gone to the meeting violently preju-
diced against Stevenson. No sooner
had the speaker finished than the meet
ing proceeded to clasp hands and sing

The Origin of Grocer.

Grocer appears in Holinshed's Chron-
icle, 1880, as 'grosser," and in other
medieval records it is sometimes
written "engrosser," and was applied
to the spicers and pepperers who were
wholesale dealers in various spices
that is, who dealt en- gros-in large
quantities, as distinguished from ere
grators," who were retail dealers. The
Grocers' company first adopted the
word grocer in 1873, when the spicers
and pepperers allied themselves into a
single corporation.-London Express.

seven thousand sheep in the town of
Saratoga, was in the city Monday. He
is we'll known in this section, because
of his method of preparing his stock
for the Chicago markets. He has, for
two years, shipped large herd of
sheep from the west into the town of
Saratoga, where he has a ranch.
Here the sheep are pastured on the
rich grazing lands that will make
Wood county famous some day, and
when they are in good condition in
the fall, shipped to Chicago in first
class condition. This year, however,
his sheep were held ia quarantine,
and he was unable to get them away

county. He expects, however, to take
up his method again next year.
