TEACHING OF AQRICULTDRE. The Value of the Work ta the. Schools I* Bxptelaid, crr" ,^5|. E. davenport, dean aricT direc tor of the IJlinois College of Agricul ture, gives some of the neasons why agriculture should be taught in the pub lic schools as follows: 1. To instill love and respect for land and the occupation of agriculture. 2. To instill a respect for industry in general. 3. To cultivate the activft and crea tive instinct. ij'( 4. To give practice atW -experience in success and failure. 5. To connect the school with real life. 6. To stimulate and train: the powers of observation. Other good reasons are given with elaborations of each and we wish our readers could read all of this excellent article. Professor Dav enport concludes as follows: ''The day is not far distant when we shall memorize less and teach more, as childhood pusses'-into youth, and the day is here when the teacher will study closer all the phases of life as he at tempts to 'hold the mirror up to na ture' for the guidance of the young. There is an era of common sense ahead regarding the industries of Tife, partic ularly agriculture,.-as they shall be viewed from the school-window, and it shall then be considered that the school house door leads up to all the occupa tions of men that are useful and that require thought for their doing. For all these reasons, and many others should agriculture be taught in our pub lic schools—as much for the sake of the schools and the public as for the sake wf.ftgJMcjutture," GOOD FARMERS WANTED. To make contracts with us for the season of 1904, and longer if desired for tenancy of the best Red River Valley farms under good state of cultivation. Morton & Co. PAVING AT GRAFTON. ,V,i3 v" Record: In anothef coUmm there appear^ the notice of a meeting of the city council to' be held Monday, Nov/16, for tne purpose of ascertain ing the sentiment ot property holders on the question of paving certain streets in the city. If the property holders are with the officials the contract for paving will be let and all arrangements will be made to begin work in the spring. It is hoped that every property holder in the city will be present because the fu ture growth of the city depends to a great extent on the outcome of the meeting. If Grafton is going to keep her place among the progressive cities of the state she must wake up and do something to make her streets fit for an ordinary vehicle to travel upon. The poor streets of Grafton are the first thing mentioned by strangers after visit ing the city. Up to the present time there have been good reasons for not "paving bat the time ha# come when the improvement should be made. It may be objected that paving is expei sfve. Paving is expensive when viewed from, one standpoint, but it must be remembered that with the improvement in our streets, vother improvements will come and people who heretofore have not visited the city will visit the city and do business here. People judge a city to a great extent by the appearance of its streets, .li our streets and our sidewalks, are gy*od, strangers naturally infer that ihe city is prqsfgepaus and if they are looking, for a location our city wilt stand a much: better dmtice of ing considered.

At St. Petersburg, in the Hermitage Mpseum, we saw- a wonderful collection of vases, gold and silver urns, and jewel ry dug up from Kertsch, not far south of here. Many of the gold chains, ear rings and brooches showed the finest workmanship, and some of our best mod ern designs are evidently copied from them. The Russian papers had an ac count the other day of some new treas ures just dug up between here and Odes sa. :. Rostof itself is about the size of Min neapolis. with climate hearty like We hapened to be in Cliarkov for two religious holidays coming one directly after the other. These holidays are quite an inconvenience for any one who ex pects to do any business as all the shops close and everything is suspended' fqr the day. There are usually four or five such days in a month, so witji the Sun days one has to make allowance for irutch tijne in order to accomplish any thing. Sept. 30 (old style) seems to be de voted to the Holy Mother, and at Char kov on that day a sacred ichon of the Holy Mother is carried in the proces sion from some monastery outsjde of the city into the cathedral. April 30, ev ery spripg, it is, carried back again. We Had noticed and wondered at the crowds of peasants flocking into the city all-the previous day. Women as well as men wore most of thetn ragged, dir*v sheepskin coats with old boots on their bare feet and carried a heavy stick to walk with, besides the pails on iheir backs containing provisions for the jour ney and perhaps something to sell. they come in generally in bands of twenty or thirty, sometimes the entire population of a village,-having walked .four or, five days,' sleeping on the ground anywhere in the and cojd. On. tne morning, that the procession took place the streets were crowded, rows deep-, with the peasants standing from early in the day until 4 o'clock. In the center of the streets, at intervals, l^w platforms covered vfith caroet were which sto?d the ordinary tip 'moitey box srorfi a» one Sees everywhere church contributions.

The streets are broad, cobble-stoned, with a wide boulevard flanked by two rows of trees. It has a fine postoffice, as well as very good ho tels. and the general* tone is much more cosmopolitan than the most of Russian cities. There is a good deal of German spoken here, and last evening we met two gentlemen from New York in the hotel dining room. Some one has spoken of it as the "Chicago" of Russia, con trolling as it does the trade of the Don and Volga Rivers and much of the Cau casus. besides having its connection with the Black Sea. It is the center of a great grain, district, with the steppes of the Don to the north and the Caucascus to the south, where also coffee, tea and cot ton plantations are conducted with much success. Russia has put a high duty 011 tea and will soon be able to sup ply her own demand, which is enormous as it is the national drink and one Can not conceive without being here of the amount used. All the large business firms keep a person to serve tea at jany hour of the day to any of the empldyes. Northwest of here toward Char*Av. are extensive steel and iron works we could see the many buildings as we ckrne through on the train. Coming south this time from Mospaw we made but the one stop at Charlf^* a little over half way. It is an impo^nt interior city, the center of a good stock region, and has just closed its annual stock exhibition. The weather was Very uncomfortable there, cold and drizzling. In fact in cold weather over here one is always more comfortable in the north down here they are so unaccustomed to starting fires, they only do it as a last resort. We had snow irt Moscow Oct. 10 and there is a bracing cold wind, here today, Which they tell us. is.» exceptional at this time of the year. ®1 I It COtffHMed first of leglike $frfctnid£, gaud jl ?with" paper flow burning inisfdeV but each wiwi Eji&re forty-feet hori- 'turtti^rest^d on the' ifee Mf were a# I tou^h a sa d« it )me irel ro«d stood |ecoi|W not ad: 1 walked the bishop of the cathedral and the governor ot the ei^r, the latter car rying the sacred'ichon. The ichon with the frame was only about a foot squane and one could not see in the crowd any of the detail. These ichons are all Sizes and are valued a great deal on account of some association'connected with them, either personal or the location from which they Originally came, etic. For instance, the ichon which formerly be longed to Peter the Great is now sup posed to possess great healing powers and the little chapel in St. Petersburg where it is placed is the gathering place of many pilgrims daily. The ichons themselves are simply a colored picture of some Saint, the virgin, or Christ, gen erally covered with either a gold^pr sil ver ornamental plate leaving openings for the face and hands to be seen. The most sacred of the ichons are framed in heavy gold set with precious stones, so that their value, in some of the churches is enofriious. Cheaper ones are in every house, in fact in every room of the house, in all the offices and of course in all public places. As the procession passed the various churches, a short service was held after the manner of the Greek Church. The whole thing lasted not more than an hour, then the crowd began to disperse and the peasants scattered to begin their long march homeward. Prematurely old, wrinkled and brown, the women are th« heads of the family and appear to have the stronger faces. They carried the big ger packs in many cases had a man to pull along who after the services had indulged too freely in vodka. In fact, the moral influence of the day does not seem to have penetrated very deeply. It is but a break in a terrible monotony. After seeing so mlich, the upper ex treme as well as the lower, we are com ing back to America with a feeling of thankfulness for many things, our free education hand in hand with freedom of religion, and a faith that America's common sense will keep her from drift ing into many of the evils of these older European countFies. From here we go south into the Cau casus to Novorossisk on the Black Sea, and thence by boat via Sebastopol" to Odessa, then to Vienna and London. THE TOREADOR. ere is anything in this town that Jefferson De Angelis wants—it's his for the asking. He made the biggest hit at the local theatre last night that has been scored in a long time. His work as a comedian is original and there's never a dull moment when he's on. His company was anexceptionally well balanced organization. There were no striking stars, but there were fortunately no weak spots. Edgar Norton divided honors With Mr. De Angelis in the comedy role as the En glish dude. He gave the cleverest con ception of the character ever witnessed here and is a comedian of, exceptional merit. What the music lacked in being "catchy"' was made up for in the snap atid go that abounded in the produc tion. There was something good at all stages. Mws McKinney sang '"The Language of the Flowers" sweetly and the soiig and dance turn by Mr. De Angelis and Miss Burd was a mirth provoking affair. The chorus was wel Itrairied, beau tifully costumed and many of the girls were really preety. There was a good audience arid Che encores were pumerous. 'PHONING MAIL TO FARMERS.

VVUUU Lydia E. Pinkham Mod. Co., Ljvn, MM. Nearly all the farmers now have tele phones and many live long distances from the postoffice. If we had a sys tem whereby the ppstmaster or his clerk could read the, letter over thft phone to the man in the country he could have his reply ready by the time the rural mail carrier came along, so he would enjoy almost the same ad vantage as the man in the city. I think wc could have a series of special stamps for the purpose that would des ignate how many words should be read over, the phone. This could be done at a comparatively small cost to the regretted public ^nd it need not eventually tie a burden to the government.". There is something decidedly pro gressive in this and it seems to be tht one thing needful to complete tht farmer's domestic joys.
