MINNEAPOLIS' INDUSTRIAL IN
STITUTE
The first head of the William
Hood Dunwoody Industrial Insti
tute of Minneapolis is to be Chas
A. Prosser, secretary .of the Na
tioual Society for the Promotion
of Industrial Kducation. Pre-emin
ent among champions of this type
if education, Mr. Prosser will have
an opportunity to make Bome of ihis
visions ccme true.»-ith the.$3,000,
000 left for establishment and en
dowment of the Institute. Such
opportunities for experiment do not
often come to a prophet of a cause,
an.' the very fullness and freedom
of it will make the process the more
closely watched by educators
•hroughout the United States.
Minneapolis, with its fine, per
manent orcatstra, with its splen
did new art museum, with Its ad
mirably planned and developed
park system, and with the state
university seated within its bor
ders and a cultural factor in Its
crowtli, is fast developing into one
of the mo^t attractive cities of
the country. Pioneer New England
stock and lat-r Scandinavian Immi
gration are riving the place a virile,
ambitious and . high-idealed popula
tion with living civic ideals. For
many years the city's public school
system has stood high among those
of the first-rank.urban centers; and
now Minneapolis is about to add to
Its resources what undoubtedly
will be one of the outposts and &x
periment stations in education of a
practical kind.
Minnesota is a state that hence
forth must be watched by other
commonwealths more than It has
b§en hitherto. Precedents are be
ing established by .Its citizens of
wealtn that will lead to constant
creation and endowment of cultural
Institution of a high order.. Once
build up a tradition of .this kind
in a community and It becomes pow
erful, as .Boston's record for two
centuries proves. But In addition
to what private donors will do Min
nesota as a state has vast reserves
r>f wealth such as no other state
of the Union has formally and un
reservedly set apart for popular.ed
ucation. That state is in a posi
tion to do for its university and its
rural and urban schools with a
lavishness that none of the eastern
states or its neighbors in the mid
dle West can hope to duplicate.by
ta*.it'on. Some intimation of what
it will ultimately do is to be seen
in its recent extension of education
to the people by sending teachers
w^.ere the people .are, and also by
its provision of education for agri
cultural communities such as will
train farmers, make rural residence
attractive, and hold both .young
me.i and young women to the boU.
Alaska is <n the same latitudes
as Swtden. Xorway and Finland,
has a Tjucb better climate, more
:'rabi.- grou.id and is much larger
than all 'hreo o* those countries,
which have a total population of 10,
030,0t'0. i
Yhe Advantage.
"Anyhow, there's oue advantage In
having a wooden leg." said the vet
erun.
"What's that?" asked bis friend.
"You can bold your socks up with
thumb tacks."—Columbia Jester.
Willing to Oblige.
A lady warned her uew gardenei
that her husband bad an irritating
habit of disparaging everything in the
greenhouse and of ordering In a reck
less manner new plants to be bought,
but on no account was the gardener to
humor him. "Whatever he says throw
cold water on hun. or he will ruin us
with his extravagance."
At this point the new gardener turn
ed on her a white and startled face.
"Ma'am." be said "if be orders me to
pitch every plant In the place on the
rubbfsb heap 1 shan't ever have the
pluck to douse him with cold water.
Won't It do as well if I get a drain of
warm water out of the boiler and let
it trickle gently down his neck 7"
SHIP CANALS.
Each Has Troubles of Its Own That
Require Constant Care.
Leave any ship canal alouo for even
a year and It would no longer be fit for
navigation. Within five years a small
boat would be unable to go through It
The United States has anxieties over
the Culebra cut In the Fanama, but not
more so than the Germans over their
waterway, the Kiel canal, for the
ground through which the latter Is cut
Is In most places nothing but peat
rotten black stuff which keeps on
breaking up and falling back Into the
canal.
Also the bottom continually "bumps
np," thus lowering the depth of the
passage. The craft that use the Kiel
canal have to crawl along. They say
that if a cruiser were to make a dash
through at top speed It would take a
year and several millions of money to
remedy the damage done by her stern
i wav&
Each canal has Its own special trou
bles. That of the Panama Is land
slides. Many have taken place during
Its construction. Many more will have
to be dealt with In coming years. It Is
estimated that If the dredging work on
j the Suez were abandoned within less
than ten years the Turks or any one
else could cross It dryshod. On both
sides of the canal stretch miles of dry
desert from which every wind that
blows lifts the sand In edging spirals
and carries It in great clouds. A sin
gle storm may drop a thousand tons of
sand Into one mile of the canal.
Of late years a great quantity of
trees have been planted along the
banks In order to prevent the sand
from drifting Into the water, yet even
•o great steam dredgers are always at
work scooping from the bottom the
blown In sand and dumping It along
the shore. Another trouble of thoso In
charge of the Suez canal la caused by
fresh water springs, which burst up In
its deep bed and pile the sand In rldgea

"It's when pa an' ma an' the schoot

Friends.
Bvery man should keep a fair sized
cemetery in which to bury the faults
of his friends.—Henry Ward Beecher.
Gender of the Sword.
Among the many curious notions ob
taining among the different races us
Ing the sword may be noted the gen
der of the weapon. In the north of
Europe It was either masculine, as In
Britain, or neuter, as In Germany,
woue in tne soutn it was uniformly
feminine. Its force and cruelty ap
pealed to the northern mind. Its grace
and elegance attrncted the warriors of
the sunny south. It typified to the one
strength, to the other dignity.—Ex
chancre.
The Kings of Denmark.
The dust of the Danish kings is kepi
in a great cathedral at Itoskilde, an old
town twenty miles from Copenhagen.
Every year the entire royal family al
ways pay a visit to Roskilde in obe
dience to an ancient custom. On one
of the pillars are marks showing the
height of Peter the Great. Nicholas, the
Iron Czar; Alexander III. of Russia,
the king of England and many other
kings. The cathedral was built In the
eleventh century. It has two mighty
towers, 'which can be seen at a ion.;
distance. The oldest grave Is that of
King Harold I., who died In 087.
Feeding by Law.
A law to punish by Imprisonment per
sons found guilty of overfeeding was
actually promulgated in France during
the reign of Charles IX. when the cost
of living reached an unconscionable
height It was then ordained that no
person should eat move than three
courses at a meal, the amount to be
served at each course being also pre
scribed. Heavy fines were imposed for
any breach of this law.—Pal] Mali
Gazette
Diet and Literary Labor.
The relation between feeding anti
literary labor was carefully investigat
ed some years ago by an eminent
French publicist. M. Claude Berton.
Taking Zoln as n typical case, M. Ber
ton round that his literary nicthoii va
ried in the ratio of his appetite. In
his heavy eating period he produced
some of his grossest novels. On tlio
advice of a doctor he cut down hi.®
provender, and the result wa»
"I.ourdes." M. Bertou's tlnrl dedu»>
tlon was that light diet Is best for th<*
writer of light literature, but that tho
philosopher or historian needs heavy
food and plenty of it to counteract the
strain upon his brain.—London Stand
ard.
A Safeguard.
"Even If It docs make you dizzy to
go near the water you wouldn't be in
danger if yon fell In."
"How do you make that?"
"Dkln't you say the motion of thi
Ivnres always makes your head swim?"
—Baltimore American.

For months Alaskan readers liavo
seen tho constant expression of
praise for Doan'B Kidney I'll Is, .and

have done. What other remedy
*'ver produced such convincing proof
ot merit?
Anthon- Miller, 431G S. Puget
Sound Ave., Tacoma, Wash., says:
'I had lameness across my kidneys
and Headaches and dizzy spells. 1
suffered from a constant backache
•vhen on my feet. I tried .every
thing but got nothing that would
remove the trouble until Doau's
Kidney Pills were recommended to
me. They quickly strengthened my
back and removed the lameness. I
was 6oon able to sleep well at night
and got up In the morning feeling
refreshe'l, instead of being more
tired than when 1 went to bod."
