Apprenticeship.

The disrepute into which apprentice
ship has fallen and to which SO muCA
unemployed and unskiIled labor IL to
be attributed has no more historical
foundation than has the prevailing dis
like to domestic service. Both were
honorable enough professions at one
time, only slightly differing from each
other In etymology as in kind. Tia
apprentice the French "appreu-
DIRE" to learn-was usually bound r1
a term Of years to his master, VINO nm
dertook to maintain and INSTRUCT him.
The domestic servanxs called a meniei
by law-from being ''intra moenia,"
within walls-was, as a rule, nouu&
only for year Neither implied any
reproach. Indeed, as in the case II
Dick Wilmington, the London appren-
tice was very often the younger son
Of country gentleman Perhaps the
law made later on and existing into
the seventeenth century, under which
all young men and women were com
pellable by the justices to be appRen-
ticed in some way, may have producsd
a dislike to apprenticeship. - LanAoA

Gave Him His Time.

A Kentucky congressman tells an In
teresting tale of the execution of a
noted desperate In that state some
years ago. Just before the sheriff adj
justed the moose be asked the usual
question whether the man had any
thing to say.

victed one. when he was interrupted
by cheerful voice shouting:
Say, Bill, II you amt got anything
special to say would you mind giving
me fifteen minutes Of your time Just
to let these good people know that I
am a candidate for their SURFACES,

Hold on, therep' shouted the sheriff.

naming rising young politician, who
has since represented his state for a
number Of years in the house Of repre-
sentatives at Washington.

the condemned man to the sheriff.
They say it's John Blank"
Il thought recognized Johns voice, /"
the desperate calmly remarked. "Well,
he can have my time, all Of 1t, but 60
ahead and hang me first and let him
talk ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Give us, oh, give us, writes Carlyle,
the man who sings at his work. Be his
occupation what it may, he is superior
to those who follow the same pursuit
In silent sullenness. He will do more
In the same time. he will do it better,
he will persevere longer. One is scarce
~ sensible Of fatigue while one march
es to music. The very stars are said to
make harmony as they revolve in their
spheres. Wondrous Ia the strength Of
cheerfulness; altogether past caIcula-
ton are Its powers Of endurance. Eff
forts, to be permanently useful, must
be uniformly joyous, a spirit all sun
shine, peaceful from very giadness,
beautiful because bright.

During the first half Of GATHERINGS
reign the leading statesman was Count
Panin, almost the only one of the en-
press advisers who dared to think for
himself He was the most level head
ed of her statesmen, and yet we read
concerning him that his Incidence and
sloth were beyond expression. He was
voluptuous by temperament and sloth-
full in system, and to the Industrious
Swedish ambassador, Holker, he once
remarked: my dear baron, it is evil
dent that you are not accustomed 10
affairs Of state II you let them inter
fere with your dinner" In 1878 the
English ambassador, Harris, wrote to
the British foreign Office, you will not
credit me If tell you that out Of the
twenty -four hours Count Panin only
gives half an hour to the discharge Of
his oclcial duties."

She had not read the paper hat

Herbert SPencer's Painted Carpet.
Herbert Spencer once had a carpet
which began to fade when 1t had only
been down few months It consisted,
or, rather, had consisted, of clusters of
blue flowers on a drabbish ground
Now, with the principal color gone, 1t
had become far too dull for the taste
of that lover Of brightness He there
fore conceived the unique idea of hav-
ing each flower stamped over with red
ink. For this purpose he invented 3
small tin tray, which was made so that
1t stood quite fat on the floor to pre-
vent any possibility of the ink being
spilled or dropped about. Bent in 1t
were little wells about as large round
and twice as thick as a halfpennF.
These depressions were flied with the
liquid. The sempstress-whom he was
always glad of an excuse to employ
because she was 80 Woodworking snd
SO poor-was soon set to carry out his
plan. Down on her knees she had to
go, and as she was decidedly stout 1t
was no light task. With cork cut the
exact size and dipped in ink she press
ed firmly down on each flower, thus
leaving II as IL covered with red cher
ries. No wonder 1t took her over a
week. working all day, for the Garrett
was from twenty-five to thirty feet
long and proportionately wide.-Har-
per's Magazine.

Cosmetic jelly has been found an ex-
cellent remedy for eczema. You can
use it on the face without the slightest
fear of unpleasant results. Take thirty
grains of gum tragacanth and soak for
three days In seven ounces Of rose wa
ter. Force through muslin to make the
preparation smooth and add an ounce
Of alcohol, an ounce OF glycerin and a
suggestion Of boric acid, say half tea
spoonful. The jelly Is a preparation
which has been found wonderfully fine
for chapped face and hands.

GAyceF4n Was Considered Useless.
No commercial commodity can show
greater increase In value, pecuniary
or unitarian, than glycerin. Original
" a waste product eliminated In the
manufacture Of soap, candles and me-
dicinal plasters, a nuisance to the
manufacturer and q source Of obstruc-
ton and pollution to river and sewer,
it Is now largely in request in almost
every branch Of industry. So great is
the demand that the candle and other
works can no longer yield the required
supply Of this commodity, and we now
not only manufacture it on a large
scale, but import it. 1t is used in med
icine. In the arts. in perfumery, In the
manufacture Of beer, In calico print

as an antiseptic. Large quantities are
annually absorbed in the production of

A Maine jury had been out for some
time on a case, and, as the supper hour
was approaching, the presiding justice
sent an officer to inquire If the jurors
wanted their supper served in the
room. 1t seems the jury stood II to 1.
and the young man who was standing
out against the rest Of the panel an
swersd the sherifr's knock at the door.
In reply to the message from the
judge the odd juror sent the following:
you tell the judge he can send one
supper for me and eleven bales Of hay
for the eleven jackasses that are In
here with me."-BOston Hera'

Has Three Climates.

Abyssinia has three climates, accord
ing to the altitude above the sea. In
the low country or valleys bananas,
dates, indigo, cotton and other tropical
plants flourish. Elephants, lions, gi-
RATES., zsbras and gazelles abound. The
intermediate zone recalls the climate
OF Sicily or of Andalusia, in Spain.
There is good pasture for hocks and
herds In the highest region.

The republican state central COM
mittee met in Sioux Falls last
Thursday to formulate tie call for
the next state convention. The
date and the apportionment for
the convention are fixed by the new
caucus law enacted by the last leg
islature. The date will be June
5th, and the apportionment one
delegate for each fifty votes or ma
ior fraction thereof cast for Gov.
S. H. Elrod in 1904. This will
give Bon Homme county 80 dele
gates and Hutchinson county 35.
In addition to nominating two can
didates for congress and a COM
plete state ticket the convention
will endorse candidate for United
States senator to succeed Sen. Gam :
Bile. This will bring out the issue
squarely between Sen. Gamble and
Congressman Martin, both of whom
are candidates for the position.
While the legislature will not be
bound to regard this recommend
alton the members will most likely
feel under obligation to do so, and
hence the real battle for the sena-
torship will be pulled off at the
convention.

The movement that is being
made for an immediate division of
the large counties Of Lyman and
Stanley seems to be up against the
constitution The organic law of
the state provides that such a
movement must emanate from the
legislature, and the action of the
legislature must then be ratified by
the counties objected by the divis-
ion. The next legislature will meet
in 1907, and the citizens of those
counties can not have an opportu.
nifty to vote upon the question be-
fore the fall of 1908. The first ap-
portionment for representation in
the legislature will be made by the
legislative session of 1911, based
upon the census to be taken in
1910, so that the first legislative
session in which the newly organ
lied counties can have representa-
ton will be in 1918.
