AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL.
Representative Bicknell Working to
secure One at rIOrris.

Work is being done that may give
Morris state agricultural school
instead of the Indian school. At the
last session of the legislature, Repre-
sentative Bicknell had that end in
view when he introduced House File
No. 10, dividing the state into dis
tricts about the size of our congress
sional districts and establishing a
school in each district. The committee
to which this bill was referred had a
bill of its own called the sSpeaker
Johnson bill" and did not approve of
H. F. No. no, SO Mr.. Bicknell did not
press his bill and concluded to let the
matter of the agricultural school at
Morris rest for the present and until
conditions were more favorable.
Before the school can be established
here, at least sixty members of the
House must vote for it, and for some
time Mr.. Bicknell has been quietly at
work on plans that may materialize
at the next session. He tells us that
while there is likely to be opposition,
he thinks it will 60 thru. Mr.. Spooner
has also announced himself in favor
of the school and will work for it.
Mr.. Bicknell finds that Bemidji will
at the next session ask for new
normal school, Sank Centre will want
a large appropriation for the girls
school, and the new state prison plant
will require large sum of money,
some reports placing it as high as a
million dollars. The only objection
that can be urged is that the state will
have one more institution to support,
but when we have this given to us by
the United States government, the
objection is not a strong one.
This district is fortunate at this time
that it has an exceedingly influential
in the person of Mr.. Bicknell,
who promises to do all he can in the |
matter.

tremendous was the cold that trees
split asunder with deafening reports.

Thames Here on more than foot
thickness of ice thoroughgoing town

tailors' shops, butchers shops, tobac-
conists, printers and. indeed. many 9th
err businesses all being carried on as If
they had stood there for years.

liquids were frozen solid and wine was

Tardv Appreciation of Parks.

Until comparatively recent years peo-
pie have had ii rather narrow idea OF
the subject Of parks. Some of the large
cities and towns have long possessed
public grounds both extensive and
beautiful but the tendency was to re-
gard them as natures parlOrs" love
ly to look upon. but of course not to be
used. The first image called up by the
word park" has been that of an array
Of little signboards bearing the eau
ton Keep Off the Grass" Nowadays,
tiguratively at least, these little boards
are disappearing. Art is not losing the
public grounds. but the people are gain
ing them. This began through be-
lated realization of the relation Of parks
to public health. The new movement,
not content with letting the people
have the parks, Is taking parks to the
people. 1t is fashioning numerous
small breathing spaces throughout the
congested parts of the great cities. The
latest phase Of the movement is for
the sake Of the children. 1t is one that
may be seen at work in vacant lots and
in squalid places, making what no one
ever heard Of until acknowledgements
for the little children of the poor.

Where Idols Are Eaten.

At certain seasons in some parts Of
India it Is the duty of every devout
person to eat special sort of confec-
tionery. Every confectioner in Octo-
Der, for instance, has pole about six
feet high at his door, and to this Is
nailed great hook about foot long
and thick in proportion On one side
of this is brisk fire. with a huge
earthen pan on it. Before the pan a
man may be seen sitting, for nobody
stands when he can sit, with kind Of
wooden ladle. and with this he briskly
stirs a quantity of bubbling. black
looking sugar till 1t becomes quite
tough He then scrapes it together
and puts it on piece Of board to cool
a little. and then, getting up and dex-
terously throwing it on the large hook,
he begins to pull out the tough sub
stance. He draws it out to the length
of four or five feet at a time and throws
it back and elongates it again. and so
he manipulates it till the mass becomes
as white as snow. This composition SO
trea ted is manufactured in all sorts of
sacred forms-fgures of little idols and
gods--and is eagerly bought for con
sumption.-Strand Magazine
