The Man Who Does Things

T L
sters are giving him credit for.
OF the seven avowed candidates
for the repu blican nomination,
Senator Stephens is doing the
Least shouting, and his name,
perhaps, finds its way into the
newspapers the least frequently.
But his reputation for doing
things is pretty we'll established
in Minnesota and it is this which
will make him strong at Duluth.
When he went to the senate
four years ago, he was a new
man among veterans, many of
whom were exceedingly able
men. Nobody in the state at
large expected anything out of
the ordinary from the senator
from Polk. He soon came for
ward with a proposition to loan
state funds to counties for drain
age purposes at three per cent
interest, thus reducing the rate
of interest paid by the counties
by four per cent, and vastly en-
couraging the drainage move
ment, Here was real policy of
state Of deep significance. The
man from Polk was cunning for
big game. The game was too
big to be bagged in one session
and that by novice.
So comprehensive a policy
might be adopted by the state in
two years, in four, at some future
time, but the wise cnes
smiled at the temerlty of a new
member attempting such i'm
portant Legislation and dismissed
from their minds the possibility
OF it's passage. Yet when the
measure came up for final deci-
sion the man from Polk was
there with the votes. The NEST
important piece of legislation
ever enacted in Minnesota in re-
gard to drainage was conceived
and placed upon the statute
books by Senator Stephens at
his first session. For new
mem Der Stephens was running
we'll up with the bunch of leaders.
Early in Senator Stephens
second session he proposed the
creation OF a branch agricultural
school at the University to be 10.
Gated at Crookston. Here was
another brand new policy, that of
establishing a branch of Mime.
sofas famous agricultural school.
This might be very good idea
said the wise ones. but we had
better think awhile before we be-
gin the system away up there at
Crookston in the northern part of
the state. Once more they dis
missed they matter as a present
impracticability. But when the
votes were counted late in the
session 1t appeared that the SEN
ator from Polk had enough and
more to esta blish the branch
school at Crookston.
These are just two examples.
Senator Stephens accom- p]ished
some other very i'm portant things
during his. first term in the legis-
lature, but, these two, one taken
from each session, show that ap-
preciating the states need and
for ability in devising and giving
force to means to satisfy those
needs, Senator Stephens has no
superior in the state.
It is because of his ability to
do just such things that the
"Andy Stephens" club of 1900
mem beers is now urging his nom
nation for governor. That is the
kind of a governor that Mime
sofa wants. ......-

veloping the ideal of efficiency, in all
its ramifications, that almost all the no
ticeable changes have been made or
planned in the methods of both higher
and lower schools. = The changes have,
perhaps, been on a more general line
sinYcolleges and universities, and have
been concerned more largely with de-
tails in elementary schools.
The development toward education
for efficiency in the higher schools
has been twofold. The most conscious
movement, the one most discussed and
most intelligently acted upon, has been
that toward closer contact between stu
dents and teachers. The other, which
is as yet almost unrecognized by cas-
ual observers, but is felt and under
stood by those of the widest experience
and deepest insight, has been toward
what might be called, to employ a me-
chanicai term, ''standardizing' of
methods.
New York City has accomplished
more in the last twelve years in en-
larging the scope of its university edu-
cation than any city in the world. In

EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT.

The development in educational
methods in the last year, while it has
exhibited little Of the sensational or
spectacular, has been steady and
definite. On the other hand, the gen.
eral advance in methods and ideals,
though almost unnoticed except by
those Immediately interested, has been
strong and constant. Old ideas have
been more fully worked out, and at
least one new purpose, which until
recently was merely an unconscious
trend, has become, with educational
leaders, a conscious aim.
The principal educational develop
ment in this year, as in several years
past, has been along the line of s'edu-
cation for efficiency and among the
broader educators education for ef-
ficient service" The difference be
tween the two, to the teacher. is largely
one Of ideal rather than Of method, and
to the pupil, of purpose than of train
ing, SO that practically those who
worked largely for the training Of the
individual machine and those who
worked for the development of a
stronger social factor have found then
immediate aims identical. It is in de

SAFETY sTOP on Gas BURNER.

A safety attachment for gas burners
is the recent invention Of a New Jer-
sey man. Instead of employing a stop
cock the attachment regulates the flow
Of gas, and as long as the gas is burn
ing remains in that position. but should
there be any carelessness in turning of
the gas the attachment does so auto
matically.
Whether the gas is purposely extin-
guisi1ed or extinguished by accident,
due to high wind or when blown out
by an ignorant person. the attachment
acts by gravity TO close the plug. The
attachment is pivoted to one end Of the
stop-cock, and consists of an arm which
extends parallel with the burner, and
controlled by a lever,
At the top of the arm is the portion
which engages with the burner, being
made in the shape OF ring connected
to two horizontal bands. When the
gas is turned off and the attachment
IN its normal position it is at right
angles to the burner. When the lever
Is operated to turn on the gas the at
tachment closes up until the top en-
cages with the tip of the burner.

HINTS ON cAKE-MAKING.

Home made cakes, skillfully mixed
and baked, are wholesome, more nour
ishing and far more appetizing than
bought ones. The art of cake-making
is simple, the important points being
exactitude in the proportions of in
gradients, care in preparing them, and
lightness of hand in mixing.
Here are a few "sign-posts" which
will point the way to success in cake
making:
All ingredients to be of good quality
The -four should be thoroughly dry
and sifted well, if the cake is TO be
light. Damp flour makes heavy cakes.
Fruit should be freed of stalks,
stones and be rubbed in clean cloth.
Fresh butter is better than salt; and
sweet, pure beef dripping makes ex-
cellent plain cakes.
Weigh each ingredient carefully, and
be sure the quantities are correct.
Before greasing a cake-tin or lining
it with creased paper, the tin must
be creased properly, and, therefore, the
cake will stick.
A pinch of salt should be added to
every cake; it brings out the flavor Of
the ingredients
For all light and fancy cakes butter
is usually creamed and the operation
is well worth the trouble. Warm a
basin slightly, put the butter and sugar
in it, and with large silver fork or
the hand work it round and round,
until it is creamy.

at least five times a day, and figures
that twenty seconds are required for

NOVELTY IN ELEVATED ROADS.

Several of the larger cities in the
United States are in need Of an ele-.
waited railway to accommodate the
heavy railway traffic in the more dense
ly populated sections which the sur
face lines are unable to handle. Be-
cause Of the unsightliness of elevated
railways at present in use their fur
Their use has been discontinued in fa-
vor of the underground road.
An Ohio engineer has invented an
elevated railway built Old entirely new
ideas. This structure is made of
series of individual posts, firmly set
in the ground and imbedded in cement
to make them permanently rigid.
These posts are formed of a number
of tubular sections united at the joints
by collars. the latter made with sockets
which receive the supporting braces,
Upper and lower tracks are supported
by these braces, the whole being fur
ther braced Ind supported by span
mechanism. All of the braces. arms
and other parts are made Of tubes or
pipes. The rails are carried on the
tOuter eXtremltleS OF tne uOflAVntdl
crossarms, and are arranged in parallel
pairs one above the other, so that an
upper and lower rail constitute q
track for car. All the central posts
are equipped with lateral arms for one
or more lines Of cars at each side. It
is claimed that by this construction it
is possible to build an elevated struc-
ture which will stand perfectly rigid
and which needs no special provision

Marriage among Persfan Nomads.

An interesting custom prevails
among the nomad tribes of Persia.
Before becoming eligible for marriage
every girl has TO prove her skill by
weaving two very fine rugs or saddle
bags. 1t is this class Of work which is
particularly priced in Europe and
America. In 1904 a law was re-enacted
by the Persian Government by which
the customs department was Instructed
to seize and burn all carpets in the
manufacture of which aniline dyes
were used. A total cessation Of ex-
ports resulted, and owing to the hard
ship inflicted by this decree the manu-
facturers were granted certain period
of grace in which to dispose Of their

Smp0Txnnt Movement AZ 4.4> y. fff=.
The creation Of General Advprlis
ING Department for the New York Cen
trai Lines. and tile placing Ill charge
OF that department the veteran rail-
road advertiser. George r. Daniel
who has been for nearly twenty years
the General Passenger Agent OF the
New York Central Railway, marks an
era in the history of advertising in
America.
The New York Central Lines are the
first great system to create an adver-
Using department which covers all the
railways in their systems, and the far
reaching consequences Of such a move
ment cannot be appreciated at first
sight. but this action on the part of the
management of these lines emphasizes
the value Of advertising generally, and
forces the conclusion Of strong belief
in the efficacy of railroad advertising
in particular
Some idea of the Importance Of this
new department can be had when it is
understood that it will control the gen
eral advertising in America and in
foreign countries of the New York Cen
trail, Boston and Albany, Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, Michigan Cen
trail Cleveland Cincinnati, Chicago and
St Louis, Rutland. and Lake Erie and
Western Railways and their leased
lines, having their Western terminals
at Chicago, ST. Louis and Cincinnati,
and their Eastern terminals at New
York, Boston and Montreal, and en-
bracing more than twelve thousand
miles Of the best equipped railways in
the world.
Mr.. Daniels has for many years been
a firm believer in newspaper and maya
zine advertising. and, therefore, the
organization of the Central Advertise
ing Department of the New York Cen
trail Lines is of Importance to every
legitimate publication in America,
daily, weekly or monthly.
In an address before the New York
State Press Association a few years
ago, Mr.. Daniels made the point that
the railroad is the advance agent Of
commerce and that railroad advertis-
ing had been of immense value to
American manufacturers in calling the
attention OF the whole world to the
excellent work done by our inventors
and mechanics. as Illustrated i'll the
Empire State Express, the Twentieth
Century Limited, and other great trains
that connect the East with the West;
the average foreigner arguing that the
men who are able to turn out such ma
chimes must be able to build almost
anything, and that the farm machinery,
and all kinds of Industrial machinery
made in America must be of the very
best quality. Railroad advertising has
certainly been the means of bringing
thousands of men here from foreign
countries to investigate our manufac-
lures and has wonderfully increased
our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and
magazine publication in America will
have a direct interest in the General
Advertising Department of the New
York Central Lines. and every adver-
Using agent on the continent will take
a new lease of life because of this en-
dorsement of the value of advertising.

COTTON WASTE CLEANSER.

why do not housekeepers adopt ccs-
ton waste as a cleaning agent? Watch
the engineer pick up bunch of waste,
wipe or oil or dust and throw the cot
ton into a heap to be burned at his
convenience. How much better than
to use cloth which some one had to
hem and some one else would have TO
wash ana iron. Why is not cotton
waste the best possible stuff to use
instead of SO many floor cloths. wall
cloths, dust cloths, stove cleaners and
mops? It is cheap, and it can be had
anywhere. Cotton waste, by the way,
is one of the best agencies for polishing
waxed floors or furniture.
