TEACHER BUILDS ODD HOME
A house up in the trees is the un
usual home being built In Minneapolis
by 1'rof. 0. F. Dight of the chair of
materia met lea at the University of
Minnesota.
When people ask Mr. PIght why he
Is building his house ten feet or more
off tie ground, hla reply Is: "Why
do you build your bouses on the
ground?" Afterwards, however, be ex
plains. Mr. Dlght says he Is building his
house high for three reasons: First,
that the ground Is low and damp, ow
ing to the proximity of Minnehaha
creek; second, that he gets a better
view, and third, that he gets more air
and sunshine.
The "jueor house Is supported on
Iron piles. It is IS by 22 feet, with a
cupola big enough for another room.
It bHs two living rooms and the usual
accessories. Outiiido it Is of rough
plaster and tile, the floor Doing of
wood laid on cement. Tie floors are
double spared and a hjt water heat
ing system will keep warm air under
them. There are 15 windows In the
house, and under every window is a
lattice work, admitting more air. This
will be arranged so that some of the
air can be cut off In severe weather,
although the house Is designed as an
all-year house.
Mr. Dlght Is a bachelor and Intends
to occupy his air bungalow all alone
unless he decides to Install some
worthy medical student In the cupola.
PURGATORY ISLAND, IRELAND
There Is a tiny Island on Lough
Derg In County Donegal, Ireland,
known as St. Patrick's Purgatory, so
called from an old tradition that St.
Patrick once banished from It the evil
spirits which were supposed to exist
there. After this the island became
a place of pilgrimage, which com
mences on June 1 anil terminates on
August 15; during the remainder of
the year the Island is tonnntless. The i
time usually passed on the island by j
each pilgrim Is three days, which are j
spent in prayer, the food and drink j
consisting of one meal in the twenty'
four hours of oat cake and tea with
out sugar or milk. About 6,000 pil
grims visit the island annually.

EARTH AS A THERMOMETER
Aa every one knows, the tempera
ture of the earth's crust Increases
gradually with the depth below the
surface. The general rate of In
crease Is about one degree Fahren
heit for every 6 feet of descent, and
If this rate were Invariable, a scale
might be marked on the wall of a
mine shaft which would Indicate the
temperature like the graduations of a
thermometer. In fact, however, the
rate varies in different regions, and
two German scientists have recently
made the Interesting suggestion that
these variations may be of advantage
In prognosticating the existence of
deep deposits of coal and oil, and pos
sibly of other valuable minerals. The
presence of such deposits causes ab

them; but no deduction concerning
their presence can be drawn from

The accompanying picture shows
the granite marker set on an Ohio
farm to indicate the farthest point
north reached by any body of Con
federate troops in the War of the He
bellion. It also marks the surrender
place of the famous rebel leader, Gen
John II. Morgan. The stone has been
set on the Crubaugh farm in Colum
biana county, near Wellsville, but a
few miles back from the Ohio river.
If the reader will look on the map,
he will find that the place is farther
north than Gettysburg, Pa. The idea

It Is situated just inside the Thread
needle street entrance to the bank, on
the left hand side, leading to the Bill
office. About thirty-five yards long

the garden has a fountain in the cen

trees, one of them of considerable
size, the whole forming a quadrangle.

with the bank buildings running aU
around. The reader may well wonder
how. right In the heart of the city,
where land Is probably more valuable
than anywhere else in the world, this
garden came into existence.
The history of the matter Is rathei
curious. This quaint old garden is in
reality the churchyard of the vanished
church of St. Christopher-le-Stock so
called because of its proximity to thN
Stock market (fish and flesh), which
formerly stood where the Mansion
house Is today. St. Christopher's was
pulled down in 1781, when the bank
was being enlarged, and the garden
of today fs its old churchyard.. It is
said that one cause of the demolition
of the church was the fear lest it
should ever be occupied by rioters to
the danger of the bank, the premises
of which were completely overlooked
from its tower fear wmcn was noubt
less intensified by the "No Popery"
riots of 1870, when, it way be remem
bered, some of the rioters marched to
the bank and tried to break in.
COW GOES ON A CIDER JAG
The inmates of the Clinton (Mass.)
almshouse were deprived of their
usual supply of milk several days re
cently on account of the inebriety of
the poor farm cow. One Saturday
morning it was a difllcult task for
John Ewart, the warden of the poor
farm, to get the cow into the barn.
The animal staggered, and, believing
that the cow was ill, the warden tele
phoned to a veterinarian. When the
latter arrived he gave one look at the
cow and said: "That cow Is drunk."
Investigation bore out the truth of
his statement. The cow had found
her way to a pile of cider apples and
had eaten uo much of the fruit that
she could neither see nor walk
straight
with a gun-metal finish, -and is ex
tremely light and handy. The primary
object of this Innovation la to encour
age thrift among tb depositors and
at the same time to lessen the routine

payments. Coins once inserted

SNAKE SLEPT FOR 45 YEARS
Workmen excavating for the Lacka

The reptile was over four feet
long. It soon showed signs of life and
commenced to crawl around. Then
one of the men killed it. The place

The Brotherhood Home of Cleveland
CLEVELAND, O. An institution
which is doing great good in
Cleveland, Ohio, is the Brotherhood
Home, developed from the idea of one
man, an ex-prlsoner who wanted to
help someone else.
In November, 1905, James Shaw
was paroled from the Cleveland house
of correction. While there he had
been a teacher In the night school,
and had become interested in the
Bible class. He was a man of more
Intelligence than the average work
house prisoner and soon after his re
lease on parole obtained employment
with a shipbuilding company. When
be drew his first wages he went to
the director of charities and correc
tions with the proposal that be take

furnaces in the homes using the nat

greatly reduced, and there is none if

with the bundling of coal and wood

Two of the orlt-'lnul wells played

which now furnish as good a supply
as the first wells.
In I ho old days there were many
tales told of the spriuca by the In
dians. They believed the water had
unusual healing power and the Ban
nocks and Snakes were' wont to travel
far for the privilege of bathing In it
So curative were the waters con

them back to their camps, where
they were rubbed on the limbs of In

"In regard to clothes. A woman In
New York, If she Is to be presentable
at all, must have decent and appro

many of my own gowns, and some of
them I will confess to fixing over.
That saves a great Item of expense
for the budget. I don't think Import

are a necessity, but they must be well
made, of good quality, and have
plenty of style about them. Then
there Is a small amount of entertain

any young ladies have new hats or
fancy gowns at home, I hope they
won't wear 'em."
The plans of the dance did not take
cognizance of "wall flowers," and
there did not seem to be any. It was
the duty of floor managers to see that
young persons were introduced. Tha
spirit of friendliness so far took pos
session of tho affair that it was not
long before a fellow could ask a girl
he did not know to dance without be
ing snubbed.
But no one seemed troubled about
her own gown or that of her neigh
bor to any great extent. Each one
was intent on the good time she was
having, and the great matter of spec
ulation was who her next partner for
the dance would bo, and not how
much some other dancer's dressma
ker's bill had been.
The official "Introducers" worked
faithfully. One of them would ap
proach a couple of demure looking
girls who were all by themselves in
some obscure corner and ask them if
they wanted to dance. They usually
did. Then the official "introducer"
would disappear and presently return
with two young men and introduc
tions were made.
"I can give him a bed, stake him to a
meal ticket and get him a Job, too."
"Fred" did want to live better and
went to work with a will. In a week
they rented another room, and went,
again to the director with the request
for the parole of two other members
of the workhouse night school class.
They promised to give them food and
lodging, and to get them work. The
four in turn put by something each
day for "grub stakes" for other un
fortunates and presently the elub had
a membership of nine.
Soon after that the Brotherhood, a;
it had come to be known, moved to
ten-room house on the lake front. The
parole officer went In debt for $905
worth of furniture. At the end of the
year the club showed an earning
which nearly took It out of debt Ten
rooms were added, followed by ten
more a little later. It was self-supporting,
and had paid for $2,000 worth
of furniture. The later history of the '
organization is a record of continued
efficient work, with finances fairly
easy when work is plenty, and pain
fully tight when It Is scarce. Outside
help has been necesj:nrv from time to.

Flxfd Standards and Prices Mea
Lock Step Firmer Do Not Want
Cheap School System.
Marlon, Ind. The important eub
lect of uuiform school text books U
discussed in the current Issue of The
Teachers' Journal, one of the leading
educational publications of the coun
try. The paper takes an emphatic
stand egalunt uniformity on th
ground that fixed standard! and
prices stand in the way of educa
tional progress. The Teat bent Jour
nal says:
"The trend in educational thought
today Is away from fixed courses of
study and rigid classification and
toward greater freedom In everything
that has to do with the development
of the Individuality of the child. For
year, an Immense amount of energy
was expendod In working out a sys
tem and perfecting machinery by
moons of which the child was fitted
to the system the lock step method.
"During the rmlgn of the Idea that
I all children In Indiana ought to be
doing tha same thing at the came time
In the ra:ne way, the uniform text
j book Idea sprang up. How could all
i the children In Indiana of the aaine

1 same time In the Fame way unlets
' they had the same books, hence unl-
formlty. But, since we have awaken
ed to the fact that the development
of tli 9 child Is the central purpose in
education and not the maintenance of
a particular system, a good deal of
the elaborate machinery of former
systems has been relegated to the
scrap heap the one prominent relic
remaining being the uniform text
book. It is true that no city that pre
tends to be progressive In Its work
has much to do with the adopted
books. Tucy are purchased to satisfy
the letter of the law, but not used to
any great extent
"Cities cecnpe by using supplemea
tary books, those that are modern
and sip to date, the best in the mar
ket those adapted to the needs of tha
child and adjusted to the kinds of
work done In the schools. But in the
country and smaller towns teachers
and children are held to the adopted
booUs, though some of them have
been hi the s hr.ols for almost a quai
ter of a century and others are in
ferior and not adapted to our present
neds." ,
Frrmrrs Not Cheap.
The Teachers' Journal polnta out
that economy was the argument for
uniformity, and adds:
"But is tho fanner clamoring for
the cheap for his child? Not at all.
Ho is not objecting to the concentra
tion of schools, and yet that costs
four dollars per year for each pupil
more 'aan under the old plan. A
large per cent of the students In Nor
mal schorls are farmers. The farm
ers about cities are willing to pay the
extra tuition that their children may
have tho advantage of city schools
where they use the books that best
suit their needs. Many farmers move
to town to secure better educational
advantages for their children, though
the rax rate is twice as high as it Is
In the country. So the economy
tteory 13 without foundation.
"Quite a bit w.afl been said about
'personal liberty,' the right of the in
dividual to oat what he wants, drink
what he wants and as much as he
wants, no matter what the results.
We havo had It proclaimed from the
housetops that we should have gov
ernment by the people, the unit being
srr-p.ll, tho township or the ward.
"If the principle of local self gov
ernment is so sacred that it must be
safeguarded though it results in the
establishment and maintenance of
saloons In every city and town in the
state, why is It not Just and right
thft a city or county should have the
right to choose its own text books
and attend its own local educational
affairs? Why 'pergonal liberty and
the 'small unit' in the establishment
of crime centers, and the 'atate wide'
idea on matters that pertain to educa
tion s'.cd the enlightenment of the peo
ple? "W!:en tho lew requiring uniformity
was passed there was some cause for
it But conditions that may have. In
a small measure, Justified such a law,
no longer exist There Is keen com
petition among the book companies,
enough to keep the price of good
books at a reasonable rate. Under
the uniform law we have bad some
good books and a good many inferior
ones; and that is the condition now.
"The absurdity of making a fixed
price on an article, every element of
which changes in value according to
the law of supply and demand, is
clear to any one who cares to five the
matter any attention. Why not fix
the price of bacon when hogs are low
and sustain that price by legislation
when hogs double in price?"
"Within the past few years, the
county superintendents have petition
ed for a change In the law and the
city superintendents have recently
expressed themselves as against cer
tain changes In books made possible
under the law. Those men are ta
closa touch with the schools and.
know their needs. The uniform larw,
with fixed price on books, stands In
the way of educational progress)."
Cure for Scratches,.
Eoratches are caused by expownr t
eold and wet, local Irritation or tow
condition, all of which should be
avoided if possible. In simple caaee
apply cloth wet with a weak solution
of augar of lead and in winter cower
to keep out eold. When cracks hove
appeared, apply a similar lotion with
the addition of few drops of carbotte
add. In case of discharge or pus
