LEOPOLD GETTING SCARED.

Cable dispatches report that King
Leopold of Belgium is complaining of
unjust accusations" concerning his ad-
ministration of affairs in the Congo
country and that he would like to be
relieved of his responsibilities there.
The attention of the world has been
directed very pointedly during the last
few months to conditions in the Congo
Free State, and the indignation
of the Christian world is being arous-
ed in such a way as to bode no good
for Leopold's control of that country.
1t is quite natural that he should be
anxious to be relieved of his response
bility in that connection, as public SEN
timent is becoming thoroughly aroused
by reports of the unparalleled atroci-
ties committed there. Two reasons
may be fairly assigned for his anxiety
" let 80 II Hlety NC tIldl ilC 10 oiiAioN'
to sell because afraid of intervention
by the powers which placed him in
control, or it may be that he has so
robbed the country and destroyed its
productive power as to have approach
ed a point beyond which the holding
will not be profitable. Anything which
would get Leopold out of Africa would
be good thing.

Other Business.

A communication was read from
John P. Wilbur, of Union, Or, In wnlcn
he stated that he would come to Walla
Walla in the near future and take up
with the citizens the question OF es-
tablishing a wooden mill in this city.
A. letter was received from r. E.
Allen. secretary of the Walla Walla
Traction company, in which he con-
veyed the thanks of President Ander-
son to the club for it's effort in trying
to assist in constructing the electric
street railway system, and requesting
that the work of selling stock be stop
ped, as arrangements had been made
in the east to finance the project.
w. D. Lyman made formal applica-
ton to do advertising in the east for
the club, stating that he intended max
ing tour of the eastern states during
the summer.
w. D. Church made brief report on
membership, showing that quite a
large number of members had been
added to the roll and predicted that the
membership could be increased to 500
before June 1.
An amendment to the bylaws was
introduced, giving to the board OF
directors the power to elect secretary
outside of the members of the board:
Another amendment was presented
providing that after June the monthly
dues be 81 and that an initiation fee of
SO be charged new members.
The committee appointed to look af-
ter the Walla Walla county exhibit
made at the Lewis and Clark fair were
empowered to secure the exhibit and
reimburse the real estate firm for the
expense they had gone to in arranging
the exhibit in their offices.

AN UNPATRIOTIC DEMAND.

The Washington Post shows a most
unpatriotic levity in it's treatment of
the triumph of Mr.. Lord Henry White,
to the Algeciras conference. Accord
ing to Lord Whites yelled and diplo-
matte report, he simply "seen his duty
and he done it," The Post demands
particulars and his lordship responds

bassador bring them together. when
and how did he hold them up and how
did he compel them to explain their
differences, the Post would fain in
quire.
These are questions which no news
paper has the right to ask a diplomat
of the first rank, and we understand
that Lord White is as rank as any we
have. Diplomacy does not answer ques-
tons. Diplomacy simply exhibits re-
suits and exclaims in the language Of
the guild, "Voila!" The rest is in the

A Fang-tien correspondent states
that japanese has imported 5000

are disposed of by weight at about
sixty cents per pound. This is quite
similar TO the American system of dis
posing of baseball players, though here
the test of value is not put entirely
on weight; experience in the game
and former records being taken into
consideration.

four hours, and as Texas has a drastic
law imposing severe penalties for a
failure to furnish cars promptly" the
shipper sued for damages. The case
went to the United States supreme
court. which has just decided that the
law is too severe and involves inter-
state features which can only be
handled by congress. To a Pacific
coast wheat shipper a delay of twenty
four hours would hardly be called
"hesitancy."

filed an appearance of fullness while
avoiding the sense OF being cramped
That the objects pictured are out OF
proportion with one another is Of course
evident. 1t is better if possible to es-
tablish a right point of view than TO
criticise particular instances.
In No, the placing of the row of OBJ
jects on the bottom frame line is objec-
tionable. The ground plane is not felt
to run back through the picture. Com
pare this with the first combination
given with the subject The fault is
common to many children and is due to
lack of visual Imagination or, as the
artist says, the sense of seeing things
as they exist. The placement in No 9,
while not so scattered as in No. 1, is no
better. The proportions of the trees,
lake and tent are as obviously at fault.
No. is equally out in proportions and
the placement is far from suggestion
of the natural and artistic arrangement
The fault of placing objects in line is
common TO No. and No. 2, as well as to
No. 4. No. is more at fault in this
than in any other Although the tent
is small compared with the other OBJ
jects-for its general proportions are
fairly good. 1t would be unnecessary
except in particular cases to so place
objects in line.

efforts. AS to how much inventiveneSS
and imagination may be cultivated, the
teachers experience will serve him.
Children's Efforts Presented.
From the subject given a number of
drawings done by children have been
selected and are PRESENTED with the
criticism that might follow. 1t will lie
noted that the comment is upon the
same lines as that on the other sets of
children's drawings reproduced, the
introduction of the human figure not
changing the qualities for which the
child is working. 1t would not be lust
to criticise the drawing of the figure.
as it is only a symbol, as the tree or
rock, and anatomical accuracy cannot
be considered.
1t is left to the teacher to suggest such
betterment of action as he may be able
TO do by illustration with the stick fig
ure. but the limitations OF the particu-
lar child must be kept in mind. Apart
from this the human figure should be
considered no more than any other
symbol, and the picture purpose of the
whole be the worked-for object.
The faults will be recognized as the
same that existed when the children's
drawings of the apples and mug were
reproduced. That some of the timidity
has disappeared is the result of keeping
the example of big simple work con-
stantly before them, but the relation of
the strong to the weak work is nearly
the same with only slight gain in
favor of the weak. What has been said
before on the reasonable exnaefatians

CURE OF THE COBRA BITE
Perman ganate of Potassium Is Said
to Be an Infallible
Remedy.

The Indian cobra has been since
time immemorial the terror of India,
because it's bite has been universally
attended with fatal results, says the
Indian Medical Gazette. Tradition
has it that natives commit suicide
rather than endure the agony Of the
inevitable death and that the only
man who ever survived an encounter
with the hooded reptile thrust his
whole arm in a blazing fire. Science
comes now with a remedy for even
this snakebite, simple permanganate
of potassium, discovered by DR.. Leon
ard Rogers and reported by Consul
Masterson Of Alden. The paper "re-
ports IL cases of snakebite in which
this new remedy was put into prac-
tice. In two cases it failed, but these
were the cases in which the longest
interval had elapsed before the rem
edy was applied. The persons were
bitten during the night and were not
treated till the following day, the in
terval in one case amounting to IL
hours and in the other to nine hours.
In seven of the successful cases the
snake was killed and identified; in
five cases it was cobra and in the
other two it was viper
s'Of the two fatal cases one was bit
ten By cobra, the other by snake
that was not identified. Two of the
successful cases were treated by Euro
peans without any medical training.
In three of the successful cases
treatment was begun at once, in the
remaining seven the interval varied
from half an hour to four hours.
These results show that even when all
the doubtful elements have been ex-
Guided or allowed for this method
promises to be most efficacious and a
very satisfactory feature is that it is
SO simple anybody can apply it and
so cheap that it is within the reach
of the poorest.
when a person has been bitten by
a snake the first thing to do is to ap-
ply ligature above the wound to pre-
vent the rapid absorption of the ven.

over the snakebite with any sharp cut

and a few grains of the permanganate
are to be we'll rubbed on. Perman-

obtainable from any druggist. It

suffice at the rate of ten grains for

pose of picture. Point out that place
ment of the objects upon the ground
gives the .dea of naturalness to the
ground plane That it has qualities OF
balance and arrangement is appreciate
to the artistic instinct No. may safe
ly serve as a model of desirable qualities.
No. 6 is good in proportion, but the
somewhat symmetrical arrangement is
unnecessary. The objects placed in z
line, while not as EXCEPTIONALLY done
as in Nos 2, and 4, might have been
arranged less artificially.
No. shows much freedom and varie-
ty of proportions and is altogether
pleasing in treatment. The objects are
well placed and the same picture pur-
pose eyinced as in No. 5. The control
and use of the symbols give a picture
that seems almost without the restraint
expected from the employment of such
simplified forms.
No. has more qualities to praise than
faults to criticise. It's proportions are
good but it has not the freedom of No.
or No. 5. It's slight stiffness of ar
rangement does not need severe criti-
ciSm
The criticism has not dwelt upon the
imaginative qualities, for the further
ance of these lies more within the teach
er's temperament, and here it seems adj
visable to treat of more technical con-
siderations. Nos. 5 and clearly show
imagination in greater degree than
the other six. This is from the inven-
ton with which the forms have been
used and the ability to project a picture
before the mental vision.
It will be seen that the selections have
been made to give larger percentage
of fairly good drawings. From class
of so, five good drawings, ten fair, ten
poor and five bad ones were produced,
of which two good, two fair and four
not so good are selected as representing
the character of the good and bad quail
tiles of work which the teacher has to
criticise Such class may be above
the average. but it is not unfairly so.

THE FIELD OF EDUCATION.

Paper hHndkerchiefs after Chinese
fashion arc to be supplied to the chill
dren of the communal schools of the
city of Paris as hygienic measure to
prevent the spread of tuberculous in
lection.
In the Pennsylvania university there
are students representing 80 nations.
besides representatives OF 40 states and
territories and insular possessions OF
the United States. There are in all
1893 students.
A rule recently adopted by the Gin
cinnati school board requires that
every teacher or employee over so
years of age shall undergo physical
and mental examination, under the di-
rection of the committee on hygiene
and sanitation. to determine the fitness
for the responsibilities OF their posi-
tons. Similar examination is to bs
made every five years after the age OF
90. If the employe is found to be e.
he shall be preferred above all others
Tor the position he then fills.
William H: Maxwell, superintendent
OF the New York schools, is a great
believer in manual training. At the
recent dedication of the. magnificent
manual training high school in
Brooklyn he said: Twelve years ago
1t was hard to get $4,000 for manual
training high school purposes. Now
we have a building which cost nearly
million dollars. Any political body
to-day that would attempt to close the
manual training high school would
soon be driven out of power by an in
dignant people,"
