A notable fact about religious conditions
in the United States is the scarcity Of
Mohammedans Although the followers
Of this religion number hundreds OF mil
lions. there is just a mere sprinkling Of
them In this country. There are only
three Ottoman subjects in Chicago. The
largest Mohammedan colony we have is
In Worcester. Mass, where several hun
dred Turks and Koords are employed as
factory workers. There are several rea-
sons why Mohammedans do not come
here IN numbers The principal one is
that before leaving his own country any
subject OF the Sultan must give bond that
he will not change his religion while
away. Mohammedans find living IN a
foreign country disagreeable because the
kind Of food required by their religion
Is not always obtainable, and they are
likely to defle themselves. There has
never been a permanent mosque In the
United States

Pretty Good Weather.

The New Year opened with good
sleighing and fair prospect that
runners will take and keep the way
for the rest of the winter. Up to
last Sunday but little snow had fall
len this winter and what had re-
manned in sight not long after it's
appearance. To this date the sea-
son has been unusually mild. On
but three occasions during Deem
Der did the temperature go below
the zero point. On the 7th, at six
o'clock a. m, it was IL below; on
the 18th below and on the 18th 4
below. Many days during the past
month the temperature was about
the freezing point, when it was not
uncomfortable to be out either on
account of the cold from freezing
conditions or the chill of the damp
ness arising when ice and snow are
thawing. 1t was good weather for
work or pleasure and not menacing
to health. The roads for most of
the time were good and considera-
BILE teaming was done conveniently
with wagons.
The only storm of consequence so
far began last Sunday morning.
Saturday was fine warm day, with
the mercury above zero and south
wind. Sunday morning rain began
to fall which however soon turned
into snow and snow fell, along at
first very damp, all day and through
Sunday night. About seven inches
of the beautiful" covered the dirty
landscape Monday, damp enough
to stick. 1t packed nicely and
made good sleighing. During the
most of the day yesterday it was
stormy, rain and snow, mostly rain.
To-day the sun shines. In the
morning the wind blew from the
south, later working into the west.
At noon, out of doors, the mercury
stood at about Is above zero.

The g. A. r. Memorial
Service.

T he attendance at the memorial
services at the M. E. church last
Sunday in behalf of l. N. Nichols
Post, G. A. R., was pretty slim, on
account of the storm. Not more
than one-third of the Post and the
Corps were present. Many of the
veterans live out of town and could
not be expected in during the storm.
The audience, outside of the mem
bership of these two organizations,
was also proportionately small.
This paucity of auditors was to be
regretted and must haYe been dis
couraging to the pastor of the
church for the services were SO re-
sourceful that all who failed to
participate lost the opportunity of
appropriating much of inspiration
and helpfulness. The sermon of
Rev. F. W. Harris was excellent.
Many of the old boys were heard to
say THAT was the best sermon l
ever heard"

A School OF Pedagogy.

At last weeks session of the w.
7. A. at Milwaukee the state Uni
versity received more than it's share
of criticism. The ief criticism
was best outlined by Supt. G. w.
Swartz of Monroe, who showed that
while the University spends large
sums to train engineers, lawyers,
pharmacists, etc., in the technical
work of their profession, it spends
almost nothing in the technical
training of those who expect to
teach in the high schools of the
state. The criticism resulted in
resolution favoring distinct
school of pedagogy, connected with
the University, but used to train
teachers for high school work, and
the appointment of committee to
push the project with the Univer-
Sity and before the legislature.

The ST. Croix county convention
of the American Society of Equity
at Hammond recently was we'll at.
tended, every farming district oil
the county being represented. A
county organization was perfected
with Henry Padden president. This
central organization will push the
work of organizing local unions
throughout the county. Saturday
N. C. Crawley, state organizer, in.
stituted a union at Somerset with
Is members.
The board of supervisors of Bar.
ron county voted to establish g
county training school Cor teachers.
The state pays two-thirds OF
the expenses of these county
schools, the county being required
to pay one-third. Inasmuch as this
expense the county is called upon
to pay is levied on the whole county
no given locality sensibly feels
the burden of the small tax re-
quired TO meet the expenses. The
schools of this kind in operation in
the state employ two teachers,
the combined salaries of which ag-
gregate about $4,000. An added ex-
pense of course would be the build
ing or renting of suitable rooms for
the school.
State Superintendent C. P. Cary
has announced the annual appor
tionment of state school fund in
come, consisting of more than 81,
$50, 900, among the counties of the
state in proportion to the number
of school children in each county.
The rate pof apportionment was
81, 166 for each child. The state also
distributes to the graded schools
an annual fund of $4,000; also ar
annual fund of $4,000 to the free
high schools, and several smaller
funds for county training schools
| for teachers and manual training
institutions. The result of this sit
uation is that the people get back
from the state treasurer So for each
ST paid in by general taxation, ant
do not contribute anything for the
support of the government.

Wages too Low.

There was civil service exami-
nation called for the 18th ult. at
the Court House. The examiners
were there with list of questions
longer than New England prayer
in the colonial days, but the appli-
cants failed to show up.
We feel like giving the state au-
thorities a bunch. If you want
good help pay decent wages. When
man can obtain better wages right
here than he can working for the
state of Wisconsin he is not very apt
TO fall over himself to take a civil
service examination.
Twenty dollars month and half
you can eat are not alluring propo-
sitions for the young men around
here. With the state offering a
wage that will just about keep soul
and body together under favorable
conditions, we can not expect that
there will be rush for the exams.
With the state offering from ten to
fifteen per cent less than can be OBJ
tanned for the same service else
where there will always be incom-
petent help in the state institutions
for the simple reason that capable
men and women can earn better wa
ges in other places. -Pepin County
Courier.
