The snow storm that so unexpeet-
edly and all out OF season swooped
down upon our city last night, is the
talk and the wonder of the day, and
had it not been for the rain that pre-
ceded it, causing it to melt rapidly,
we would today be viewing one of the
heaviest covers of snow On record
hereabouts

In view of the fact that the use c
commercial fertilizer has been S
greatly curtailed by our farmers here
abouts this year, perhaps the weathe
man has sent this snow to help theI
out in general results, as snow is sal
to be a great fertilizer.

ssBabe. . Oldest Elephant, Dead.

Old Babe" probably the oldest ele-
phant in captivity, died last Thursday
afternoon at the Ringing winter quar-
tiers in Baraboo where she had been for
80 years or more a permanent fixture
during the winter season. 1t is esti-
mated that she was about 100 years OF
age, and during the past couple Of
years has been on the superanuated
list. In the early days she was the
best known dancing elephant in the
world. During the season of 1914 she
went with the show, but never left the
car, and this spring was unable to get
into the car, so was left in the quar-
tiers at Baraboo.

What the Voice Tells.

That the pitch of the voice bears
some relation to certain states of feel
ing is tolerably clear. Wrongs OF life
usually are revealed through the
habitual channels Of expression;
where the nerve currents have been
most in the habit Of flowing in health,
they incline to flow in disease. Man
kind uses the facial muscles to eX-
press its feelings or sensations, and
hence disease is expressed in the
face For the same reason we would
expect to find wrongs of life expressed
in the voice, in all animals using the
voice and especially in man, who
finds it the principal instrument of
expression.
AS we come into the sick-room, we
unconsciousnesly give attention to
the voice of the sick person quite as
much as we do to what ne is saying.
We find that it expresses strength or
weakness, is free or difficult from To-
cal conditions and also shadows forth
the condition of the brain in it's tone,
which varies from the listlessness of
extreme weakness to the Querulous-
ness of excited feebleness and excita-
ton of ctivity.-Woman' World

FAIR TRIAL FOR SCHOOL LAW.

FAIR TRIAL FOR SCHOOL LAW.
| The course of the house of repre-
sentat1ves at Des Moines in voting to
repeal the new school superintendent
law may properly be described as re
dictionary, says the Sioux City Journal
| 1t Is the more surprising because the
reactionary tendency cannot be ac-
counted for by experience-the new
law not yet having had chance to
demonstrate it's merits or dement's.
The conclusion is unavoidable that
some consideration aside from regard
for principle is back of the present
opposition. The senate is depended on
not to join the house in the folly ii
abandoning without fair trial law
painstakingly devised by the thirty
fifth general assembly to accomplish a
purpose which was widely approved.
The law which the house has voted
to repeal takes school superintendent
out Of politics. Instead of requiring
to be nominated In
the primary anu elected in the cleo
ton the law provides for their selec-
ton by what amounts to a convention
of practical school men-men whom
the people have selected to manage
their school affairs for them The
change was made on the theory that
should be selected,
not on account Of political strength or
popularity, but on account OF demon
strated directive ability in the educa-
tional field. To this end it was agreed,
without any popular protest, so far as
the Journal has observed, to drop the
observation-disclosures out of the list Of
political offices, and have them filed
by appointment. The method Of ap-
pointment may possibly be improved
upon. That it is better to appoint
school superintendents on merit alone
and keep them in office so long as they
render satisfactory service than to
let politics govern and dictate changes
whenever political considerations may
call for them is so self evident prop
osition that no argument is needed to
support it.
The present law Is entitled to far
rial without material amendment. If
experience should prove the need for
the law can be modified. |
t is absurd to repeal 1t, as the house
las proposed, without letting the pub
ic have a chance to see whether the |
aw is good, bad or Indifferent in its !
If, as has been suggested. I
he repeal was planned as the first OF
series OF reversals of the work of the
preceding assembly there is an added
Incentive for nipping the program in
he bud. The record of the thirty-fifth
assembly calls for no wholesale repeal.
