A PIECE OF HISTORY.

The passage of the Curtis bill
by congress June 2S, 1898. first made
II legally possible To establish pub
lie schools In the incorporated cities
OF the Indian Territory. Il provides
mat the city council may establish
and maintain free schools in such
cities and towns under the provisions
of sections G25S 10 G27G, inclusive.
Of Mansneld's Digest of Laws of
Arkansas, and that they may
exercise all the powers CON
fcrred upon special school dis
tricts in cities and towns IN the
provisions OF this act Other powers
are also given In same act
Acting under this law. on the Goth
day OF January, 1899. an election was
held TO determine whether our city
should avail itself of the provisions
or the act Strange To say. little
attention was paid to the matter.
and light vote was polled-3i2
voting for public schools and 307
voting against establishing same. On

Two Bits of Wood.

Importance cannot be reduced TO a
matter of size. The success of a
piece of work may depend on a tinv
detail. Such is the case in regard 10
that marvel of construction. the violin
Rev. H. r. Haweis in his "My Musical
Life tells of the care and labor ex.
pended on two little pieces of wood
which go to make up the perfect
whole.
The sound bar is a strip of pine wood
running under the left foot of the
bridge. A slight mistake in its posi-
ton, ~looseness. or inequality or rough
ness of finish will produce that hollow
teeth on-edge growl called wolf" It
takes great cunning and a life of prac-
teal study to know just how long and
how thick the %sound-bar must be. and
exactly where TO place #, in each in
strument.
The sound-post is a little pine prop,
like a short bitof cedar pencil. 1t is
the soul of the violin, and through it
pours all vibrations. Days aud weeks
are spent in adjusting the tiny sound
post. It's position exhausts the pa
tience of the maker, and makes the
joy or misery of the player.-Youth's

Tells Of SIBERIAN BAREBACK.
Many Uses of a Bread Much Favored
in Cold Countries.


OF all the bareback breads of the
universe I have found by actual ex-
p%erience the small ringed bread of 81
IBERIA the most substantial. When the
Rdssian engineering parties were con
strneting the Siberian railroad this
whiiering bread with the coarse rye
bread was their main staff of life.
It S made without salt or yeast and
is first steamed, then lightly baked to
expel the moisture. Some curious
uses were made of these breads by the
engineers. When soaked in hot pure
tallow for a few moments till they
sank they were used in soups or
soaked in and eaten with tea during
the severe winter months. This tai
low bread was considered the most
heat-producing article in the dietary.
1t should be utilized by our Arctic
explorers.
Another curious use 10 which it Is
put is as an extempore candle. or cot
fee pot boiler. A nail is used to make
about eight holes in the tallow ring
bread; wax vestas are placed in these
and isnited. 1t viii burn slowly for
about an hour, emitting a strong heat
sulnclent TO warm and LIGHT a small
tent and boil the tea or coffee water.
There is a rather strong odor of toast
Ing bread, but that is tolerated in pref
to smoke. While soiourning
with the engineers in Siberia have
also seen them using the larger sizes
of ringed bread as makeshift ouoits
for Sunday afternoon sport in their
tents. and the bread would stand the
knocking about pretty well. and would
eventually appear in the sour at the
evening meal.
Small Siberian s~torekeepers also use
the ringed bread as an abacus. or
primitive counting apparatus for cal
culating small sums in rubles and
kopeks, and simple figuring. Three
strings are suspended above the coun-
'er; ten breads are strung on each;
top line represents the rubles
their money transactions rarely 60
above ten) and the two lower
strings stand for the kopeks. OF
the strings of bread can be in
creased to mount into the thousands
nd up if desired.-L. Lodian. in Scier-
life American.

The new minister in a Georgia
church was delivering his first SER
o The darby ~janitor was a critical
listener from a back corner of the
church. The minister's sermon was
eloquent, and his prayers seemed to
cover the whole category of human
wants. After the services one of the
deacons asked the old darky what he
thought of the new minister. Don't
