English and American Systems,

DR.. David Starr Jordan of Leland
Stanford university says: 1.-TWO great
weaknesses are evident in the Eng
lish university system; one is the
prevalence of sinecures. Half the men
supposed to teach or conduct research
do nothing Of the kind. The other
weakness is the dominance of the ex-
animation. English higher training
is largely a matter of books and
words. The men are without power
to adapt themselves to new condi-
lions. This is the secret of the sue
cess of American engineers in Lon
don. They are ready for whatever
turns up, not for the particular prob
lem it has taken three months to
cram"

% Board Increased to Five.
Cook county, is particularly ir terested
IN some changes that are made by the
code. Under the new law the clerk of
courts salary, which heretofore has
bsen fixed by the district judges at $3.50,
is increased to $1,000 a year. The SAL
airy OF the county treasurer is fixed at
$1,000 a year, and the county board Is
authorized to allow $500 clerk hire, if
deemed necessary. Another important
provision OF the code is that making the
membership of all county boards not
less than five, which calls for an. in
crease in the membership of the board of
this county, now composed of
three. These changes will be made, as
we understand it, at the next general
election. The county will have to be
redistricted by the county board, into
districts as nearly equal as is practicable
IN regard to population. Then at the
annual election commissioners shall be
elected for term Of two years in the
odd numbered districts and for a term
OF four years in the even numbered dis
trlcts. Thereafter all commissioners
shall be elected for four years.

HAD HIS EYES OPENED,
Deputy U. S. Marshal Mallory Sur
prised by North Shore Conditions.

prised by North Shore Conditions.
George J. Mallory. deputy United
States Marshal. was IN Grand Mara1s on
an official visit short time since, and
when he returned to Duluth he talked
quite enthusiastically of the trip, which
he made by stage from Two Harb-
ors. He said:
Il have been in Grand Marais many
times, but always made the trip by boat,
from which I could only see the shores
of the lake, barren, rocky and rugged
and of such height as to hide the coun.
try that Jay beyond. The route follows
the shore but back where good view OF
the country may be obtained. The
stage trip metaphorically opened my
eyes and showed me rich agricultural
lands upon which settlers are making a
comfortable living. They all seem we'll
satisfied with their land and consider it
the best to be found anywhere.
LAUNDERING all along the north shore
is booming. Aside from tho farming
land there is still an immen 80 amount Of
pine timber in the county, in fact the
forests are practically primeval.'

A Just Proposition.

An act was passed at the last session
of the Legislature proposing an amend
ment to the constitution of the state
to be voted on at the next general cleo
ton. for the purpose of preventing any
municipal corporation imposing any
license on any farmer, or gardener, SELL
ing produce grown on land occupied,
and cultivated by himself, and sold or
peddled directly to the consumer. This
lis mer1to1ious measure and will surely
be endorsed by the people when called
to their attention. The Supreme court
of this state has held that a license i'm
posed by any municipality on peddling,
covers the farmers or producers, as we'll
as the man who buys his stuff to sell
again. The grocers's associations of the
different cities in the state, have taken
advantage of this state of affairs and
caused the arrest of several farmers and
gardeners, with the result that they
were found guilty, and fined for the
crime of selling produce grown by them
selves directly to the consumer, without
| first obtaining license therefor.
In some cities the license has been
doubled in the last two or three years.
Ia the Twin cities it is now fifty dollars
$3.50 .00) per year. An ordinance passed
by the village OF Degraff, IN Swift coun-
ty imposes a license of ten dollars
($1O.0O day for selling dressed meats,
which any one can see is prohibitive.
The arrests made in the Twin Cities
were for the offense of selling veget-
ables, aud fruit, but if the movement is
not checked it will soon cover every ar
ticle produced on farm, or garden, as
the grocers wish all such produce to
pass through their hands before 1t reach.

a nice thing it will be to set the price at

IN this amendment as any one, unless
they want to pay higher prices for what

an army officer, when Twas at West
Point. old Hank Kendrick, our profess
or: Of chemistry, electricity and So
forth, used to give us an experiment
with lightning rods, which is the only
thing Il recollect in connection with
them. HI had a battery rugged up to
furnish the lightning. Then he had a
house Of blocks, a nice two story house
painted white, with green shutters On
this house was lightning rod, a minia-
ture affair, made like the ordinary light
ming rod CT commerce. He would make
few remarks Oh the necessity of hav.
ing the rod properly connected with the
ground, explaining that wet earth OF
water connecting directly with the
earth was the very best. Then he would
make a ground connection of this kind
and proceed to fire few big electric
sparks, Or lightning flashes, through the
rod. They would 90 through all right,
not doing the slightest injury to the
house. Then >l,o would make few
more remarks, this time to the effect
that little learning is a dangerous
thing, and tell about good minister
in the neighborhood who wanted to pro
tect his house by a lightning rod and
who had heard that water was a good
thing for the rod to end in. So he set
up the rod and had it end in his els
tern, where, as it was carefully cement
ed, there was always certain to be WA.
ter. The old professor would then put
the end Of the rod in glass Of water,
to represent the cistern, and turn or
his lightning. The big spark would
come the house, a heap of blocks.'

"Lucky With Women"

In some parts Of Ireland it is the
custom of the farmers to deposit
money in the bank in the joint names
Of husband and wife, so that when
one dies the survivor. can draw out
the money without any legal formalf-
ties. To a farmer who made applica-
ton for money deposited for himself
and wife, the manager of the bank
asked: why, Pat, how can this be?
L is not much more than a year since
you came with an application on the
death of your ,wife?" *Well, your
tonor," was the reply, ''1'm bit lucky

His Sin Found Him Out.

A warning to borrowers who do not

ton of New York man who says that
about four years ago he lent 60 cents
to a friend who has steadily refused to
pay it,. Since them he writes, "he
has lost his job and is compelled to
exc out miserable existence by writ:
ing for the Sunday papers. His mother
has to take in washing, his sister had
to take job in a telephone exchange.
His father failed in r: business and
skinned all his creditors, and his
brother went crazy and imagines he's

American Tobacco Consumption.

It requires nearly 100000
pounds of tobacco to meet the con-
sumption of single year in the
United States. If this huge con.
sumption were equally distributed
among the entire population every
person would dispose of five and a
half pounds of the product annually.
Eliminating those who are under Is.
constituting a third of the population,
the per capita consumption would be
about sixteen pounds: No census re-
port has undertaken to exhibit what
is the per capita consumption among
the actual users OF tobacco.

Where Basket Ball Originated.

Training young men to become pow
erful influences in the lives Of others
Is the work of another institution in
the city, the Y. M. c. A. International
Training school.
The school Is situate on q pretty
little lake. with generous athletic ields
In connection with it, for emphasis is
placed on physical training in this in
stitution. In fact, the work of the
school a two objects; training young
men to become Y. NJ. G. A. secretaries
and to become Y. NJ. G. A. physical
directors. 1t was In the gymnasium Of
the Springfield Training school that
basket ball originated. James Mai
smith was it's inventor, and the idea
came to him when he was trying TO
devise an indoor game that should be
exciting and at the same time should
not be rough or dangerous. Nj. Mai
smith. now physical director at the
State University of Kansas, not only
solved a problem for the school in
which he was then instructor, but fur
nished a clean, snappy game for
sportsmen everywhere. From the ply
steal department athletic, muscular
young men are sent not only into assoc
citation work. but also into colleges,
from which there has come a demand
for men of Christian character. educa-
ton and technical ability to guide the
students in their sports and in their
gymnasium work.
