A young woman of Baltimore who

that she shudders lest the butcher and
the baker and the rest of the trades
men discover her ignorance. She or

some acquaintance and ends her bust

On one occasion this young wife was
feeling rather pulled up by reason of
some newly acquired knowledge of
things domestic when the ashman
came through the street uttering his
usual cry:
"Ash-ees! Ashees!"
AS the man neared her window she
grew more and more perplexed.

Jenny Ceddes,

OF the memories that gather around

is more cherished by the Scotsman
than the story of Jenny Geddes
Charles l., determined to force epis
copacy, commanded that on July 30,
1887, the English church service
should be read In every parish church
In Scotland. On that Sunday great
crowd gathered in st. Giles, and when
Dean Hannay, in surplice, began to
read the prayers such commotion
ensued that his voice was drowned.
din-Jenny Geddes Out! Quit" she
cried. Does the false loon mean to
say his black mass at my lug?" And
selling her stool she threw 1t at the
head of the astonished dean. There
followed such an uproar that the SER
vice had to be abandoned.
In modern and more peaceful times
this event, momentous in its outcome.
has been COMMUNICATED by two me-
mortal tablets in the cathedral. One
is to Dean Hannay, the other, erected
by Lord President Inglis, is to the
memory of "a brave Scotswoman,
Janet Geddes, who on July %, 1887.
struck the first blow in the great
struggle for freedom of conscience
which after a conflict of half cen
fury, ended in the establishment OF
civil and religious liberty"

CALIFORNIA SCHOOL LANDS
ARE TO BE PROTECTED.
Conservation Commission viii Clear
up Records of Property.

The Conservation Commission, par
ticularly Secretary Louis r. CLAWS,
is much surprised at the condition of
CALIFORNIA; school lands. The COM
mission has decided to address itself
to the work of clearing up records and
securing the passage of laws that will
prevent further dissipation Of these
lands.
II has been known in official circles
at the capital for years that the land
records are faulty, and Surveyor-Gen-
eral Kingsbury has been doing all he
can to remedy the defects. However,
the Conservation Commission recog-
nizes he has not had sufficient help in
his Office and will ask the next Legis-
lature to give him more men.
Kingsbury secured the passage of a
law whereby he was enabled to sell
lieu lands at auction many times for
as high as So per acre, whereas the
law formerly compelled him to charge
only Pl.Ho pei ACRE. lit COHlHulo5lOh
desires that the State enact similar
laws for the protection of school lands.
II is pointed out that Oregon sells its
land and timber separately, thereby
making good money. Frequently 1t is
stated California has sold land worth
from 500 to $3.50 per acre for $1.25
and $3.50 per acre.
Fortunately" says a statement
given out by the commission, "the
present policy of the Federal Govern
ment is to withhold approval Of sur
veys, where found irregular, so that
the title of the States remaining
school lands cannot be perfected, and
they are, therefore, not subject to pur-
chase. This, it is hoped, will give the
time to secure Legislation necessary to
conserve the States interests"

doubtful whether modern iron-workers

as far as its resisting qualities are
concerned, and it stands today the sur

cause it was intended to be, as be-
cause it proved to be, the most last
