DEMOCRATS WILL CONTROL SESSION (Continued from first page). whereby benches replaced the famil- lar desks and swivel chairs, made a change necessary. Leaders planned to submit to the House the proposition of whether members take any seats that suited them on all occasions or have a place definitely assigned. In former Congresses, the drawing for seats was one of the most picturesque incidents of the conven- - ing of the national legislature. In the Senate the procedure was without other special formality than 1 ithe reading of the president’s procla- mation.

The word is 'a compound og “Mini”, water, and “sota’ gre-blue or sky-colored. The name was given to the territory as established by act of congress of March 3, 1840, and was retained when the state was formed. The Minnesota territory took 'in all of present Minnesota and extended west to the Missouri river. The west- ern boundary was put at the Red riv- er when tlie state was given its or- ganic act. CROOKSTON SELECTS FLOWER. Crookston, Minn. April 7—Mrs. N. P. Stone i the first to suggest an ap- propriate flower for the offlicial flow- er of Crookstén. Her suggestion Is the sweet pea, which flourishes here, |is very beautiful, is easily grown and grows in many beautiful colors. This is an excellent suggestion. Who has a better one or coincides with the same view? Mrs. N. P. Stone is the mother of Mrs Thayer Bailey of this city. ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Think of the street itself, with its &gable-ended houses starting from the dark shadow of Temple Bar. From each house hangs a heavy sign, indi- cating in some abstruse fashion the trade followed within. There are the red lion, green dragon, hog-in-armor, queen’s head, crooked billet, golden bottle, flery devil, rainbow and others, each one painted in bright eolors, and hanging threateningly over the pedes- trians. But the street is narrow, with a gutter in the center, along which runs all the refuse of the houses, and through which trot tbe borse, car- riages and chairmen, splashing show- ers of mud over the passers-by, who fight for the wall side as they walk. At night, the Mohocks, some of them being among the fine and- fash- fonable men of the day, roam about the neighborhood, breaking windows, stealing knockers, beating the watch, insulting women, .or surrounding a quiet citizen, whom they stick with their swords, the victim being happy to go free with Ris life. Footpads steal along. the walls, and hired ruf- fians wait in ambush to effect some fine gentleman’s revenge, At this timé_too, Fleet Street is the favorite. site for showmen, who ex- hibit - many marvelous things—man- drakes at a penny a peep; an old she dromedary and her young; an -arm- less, legless, and, to make the matter certain, we are told, footless and hand- less man, who writes, .threads a needle, shuffies cards, and plays skit- tles. Giants, dwarfs, fire-eaters, pos- ture makers, abnormities and' defor- mities of all sorts are from time. to time on show in some tavern, court, or in the street itself. R Here came Swift, fearful of the Mo- hocks; here came Addison and Steele, Congreve, Johnson and Boswell, Bo- lingbroke and Chesterfield, Nash and the witty Selwyn; and here also came ® crowd of men, young and old, whose object in life was to dress handsomely and to live softly, to share in intri- gues and take part in the conversa- tions of wits. —Jerrold Beaux and Dan- dies. Hongkong University. The Hongkong university is now in full operation. It has seventy under- graduates in residence, which is many more than the sponsors of the school had even hoped for. The university consedquently begins its career under encouraging circumstances. Some of the students enrolled, writes a con- sular agent, have been transferred from the college of medicine—students who may be regarded as doing second, third-or fourth year work. The major- ity of the first year students have elected to be trained in engineering science, and, in fact, ene-half of the total number matriculated, including the pumber entering from the college of medicine, are students in the tech- nical cotrses. It was the chiet object of the founders of the university to train Chinese ‘along technical lines; to graduate men as engineers for wa- terworks, for the development of mines and the extension of railways in China. There are already demands tor hundreds of technically trained Chi- nese, which at present.cannot be met, and for years to come the graduates of the Hongkong university will have exceptional opportunities for lucrative and brilliant careers in their own country.

Testa ment, now the chief treasure of a mu seum‘at St. Petersburg, was abput tc be burnt, togethér with other and ap parently valueless manuscripts, by the monks of a Syrian monastery, when by a lucky. chance Tischendorf inten fered in time to save it.

Quite as lucky as.this was - the chance that led to the preservation of the Magna Charta from destruction The story Tuns that 8ir Robert Cotton had one day entered his taflor’s shop precisely at the moment when the tailor ‘was about to cut up, for pat terns, an ancient looking document whereto were attached many large and imposing seals. Sir Robert arrested the hand of the tailor, even though he did not immediately recognize the value of the document, which he pur- chased for a few cents. Today the priceless manuscript 18 in a glass case &t the British Museum, most carefully guarded. Another valuable manuscript that ‘was about to be destroyed, after being smothered in dust for over two cen- turies in a moth-eaten coffer, was the famous Journal of his Italian Travels written by Montaigne. This i now looked upon as one of the greatest of French literary treasures. A decorator at work in a room of Lincoln’s Inn in London was one day 'preparing to repaint the ceiling, when & bundle of the state papers. of Thur- low fell-out from a false panel. For over two hundred years Milton’s Commonplace Book, wherein were en- tered the rough notes and plans of all his poems, was lost; but finally it turn- ed up in the garret of a neglected house in London. One of the most highly prized manu- |~ soripts ‘of ‘recent times was rescued just in ‘time from a cupboard in a| house ‘where the poet had for some- time lived as-a bachelor. This was the manuscript' of “In. Memoriam,” and it was to the poet himself that the recovery ‘was'due; for he remem- bered that the ‘book wherein he had transcribed. the’ original draft had been hastily thrust into’ the cupboard, .where Tennyson also had been accus- tomed to keep ‘his pickles and jams. When the friends sent by the poet to recover the manuseript arrived on the scene, the contents of the cup- board had been removed by the land- lady, who was just then engaged in her task of house cleaning, and tartly advised her visitors that they had come none too soon, inasmuch as-she would that day have burnt “all the “trash” she had found—The Sunday Magazine. On the Wrong Bus. A motorbus stopped on the Place de la Bourse, in Paris, and a man.climb- ed with difficulty into a seat. He car- ried one of those large black cases which lawyers and literary men with documents affect in Paris. He was poorly dressed, old, short sighted and gray headed. ‘He was very busy with his papers, and, when he looked up from them, exclaimed aloud that he had made & mistake, and was traveling in the wrong direction. The bus was stopped for him, he scrambled out and got into another. When he had gone, a large yellow envelope with red seals on it was found on his seat. Though there were seals the envelope was open. “Let us look,” said the -other pas- sengers. “It may contain his address, and certainly it contains documents of value to him, perhaps even bonds or shares.” ‘The envelope was opened and the papers taken out for examination. They were a bundle of advertisements of a new restaurant which hag been opened near the boulevard. “The old lawyet’s clerk” spends his day riding about in buses, finding that he is on the wrong ome, and leaving advertisements behind hlm—London S!&ndlrd.
