FROM FOREIGN FIELDS.

! A 1dDtdStlC CluD mas Deeu uloCON-
cred in London by la Revue" This
i is the Black Bean Club, limited to for
ity members, each of whom pays an
entrance fee of S1J and a similar
amount as annual subscription. They
meet only once year, and then a
bag is passed around, containing thir-
! ty-nine white beans and one black
I bean. The member who picks the
black bean is compelled to get mar
ried within the ensuing twelve
months, and the remainder solemnly
VOW to remain single until the next
meeting. A house is furnished for
the prospective bridegroom out of the
funds of the club, which also bears
the cost of the wedding festivities
and of a three weeks honeymoon.
Londoners are curious to know where
this club is situated.

Mica mining in the Nellore district,
India, though a highly profitable in
dustry, is carried on practically as 1t
was by the natives a hundred years
ago. The mica vein is followed up by
underhand stopping, which results in
the production of tOrtuous, wOrmlike
holes, sometimes extending to a
depth of 300 feet below the surface.
The mica excavated is brought to the
surface by a string of coolies working
hand over hand on rudely constructed
bamboo ladders. On account of the
accumulation OF water during the
night when work ceases. all sinking
operations are delayed each morning
for an hour or more while the water
is being dipped out with buckets by
coolies.

Though the rose is grown for trade
in many parts of Europe, its culture
for commercial purposes is now prin-
cipally monopolized by the vast rose
gardens of Grasse in France and of
Kasanlik in Bulgaria-and the manu-
facturers produced from them supply
in a great measure the markets of the
world. Here acres of roses take the
place of corn, vines and orchards of
other lands, and some idea of the
French trade may be obtained when
we learn that the gardens of Grasse,
Cannes and the neighboriug villages
yield nearly 2,650.000 pounds of roses
annually: on some days as many as
$50 tons of blossoms are picked in
the province of the Alpes Maritimes.

| In Switzerland the quaTTying of gla-
Ciers is becoming an important indus
try. Wherever a glacier can be con-
nected by chutes with some place
having good transportation facilities,
companies have been formed to carry
on the business. The French city OF
Lyons is the most important consumer
of this glacier ice. which, owing TO its
purity and transparency, commands a
higher price than that cut from lakes
or rivers. The ice is blasted out OF
the glaciers by means of black pow
der. which it has been found does not
discolor the ice as giant powder does.

The surprising fact is made public
in the Medical Record that there Is
but one fairly well trained physician
to every 100000 population in China,
or one doctor for communities as
large as st. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincin-
natl, Washington or Boston During
the recent plague in China the gov
sernnent appealed for outside medical
aid, offering in its extremity cash
bonuses and paid-up life insurance
policies for $4,000 to volunteers.

C. Z. Sawyer-Oskaloosa is, and will
continue to be the best town in
Southeastern Iowa. The immense
amount of money spent during 1912
! for permanent improvements is in
ldicative of this. Two large things to
be accomplished in 1913 is to get the
National Coast to Coast Automobile
Highway, and to induce the Rock Is
land to build from Melcher, Marion
county to Knoxville, making a nine
mile shorter route from Des Moines
to Davenport, with straight line and
LESS grade than their main line
through Grinnell and Iowa City. Then
they will undoubtedly run large
portion of their through trains
this way putting 0skaloosa on main
line of large railway system.

Mr.. D. Richie gave fine talk to the
students last Friday morning.
The Girls Glee Club very success
fully entertained the Boys Glee Club
and the High school teachers at a
Halloween party last Saturday even
ing. The girls are to be congratulated
upon their ability as hostesses, since
there was not dull moment during
the entire evening, and the boys GER
tainly assisted the girls in every way
in the entertainment. Refreshments
of the kind usually served at Hal.
lowe'en parties were served, and all
left at late hour hoping that the
girls will entertain again in the near
future.
Lincoln School.
Irene Algeo entered the 5th grade
last week.
The 18th grade have the nag this
week for the best record in attend
sance.
The new teachers at the Lincoln
school entertained the last years
teachers at delicious dinner on
Thursday evening. The big table,
beautifully and appropriately decorat-
ed was set in one Of the upper rooms,
and a wonderful" chicken dinner,
with all it's "fixin's" was served. Mr..
Hanna and Miss Emma Carlson were
the only outside guests. Stories were
told of other Halloween frolics and
ghostly escapades, after which the
new girls informed us that our party
would conclude with a box party at
the Rex.
Mrs. Bannish of the Normal Depart.
ment visited the End grade on Monday
of last week.
The Lincoln School was the scene
Of several very pleasant Halloween
parties. On Tuesday afternoon the
End grade had little program after
which Halloween games and popcorn
and apples were enjoyed. The chill
dren had taken great pleasure in dec
Grating their room and with very pref
ty effects, black and orange paper fes-
TONED from the lights and witches
and black cats scattered about the
walls and on the curtains.
The teachers Of the Lincoln were
very happily surprised on Halloween
by one Of their loyal patronesses. The
ladies were in dignihed faculty meet
ing assembled when a loud knock
caused some disturbance. Upon in.
vestigating they were all agreeably
disturbed to find big boat drapped
in yellow and black all ready for a
jaunt, but what sort of 9aunt? Up
on further investigation were found
nine tiny pumpkins with a delicious
lunch in each. And such lunch! Be.
sides sandwiches, cake and pickles,
there was coffee and ice cream. Who
is our fairy witch Of the Lincoln
school?
