The state press has taken up the issue of econgmy and efficiency in rous promptness. Most of the papers have talked about it. publishing editorials from The Herald and other papers about it, and even have said nice things about The Herald for starting it. That's pleasant. We won’l pre- tend that we don’t like it, and we jare properly grateful. But let’s forget that part. of it, and remember that {he thing to do is not to let it go a one-issue con- demnation of waste and extrava- gance in state affairs, but to keep pounding it; to keep reminding the people of it; to keep insisting that legislative candidates must be pledged to reform and that only those candidates be elected to the next legislature who are manifest- Jy sincere in their pledges and manifestly qualified by character state affairs with alert and vigo-}° Hints A penny saved is a@ penny earned— Cheap Book For Baby.

The conten-, tion of those who have taken upon themselves the burden of proving that the state’s present course is the right and cnly one seems to be that unless {he same systeny is presisted in the moneys for these Jands will be lost to the schools. Nothing, apparently, is further from the thoughts of the associa- tion officials who have started Jim Tawney also make an attempt to secure his former hold on the First. These two ex-congressmen are standpatters and raactionaries and as such are out of harmony | with the spirit of the times, but we sometimes think that the state ! would not be the sufferer to any great extent if they were still in Washington. The trouble is that in retiring men like Tawney and thig inquiry.

The employment of these moneys for the purposes intended would mean the rapid settlement of the northern part of the state, with all the benefits that this entails. Not ily would the money from the sales of these lands) which the schools do not now need, eventu- ally revert to the schools, but no possible investment would show, such percentage of interest. In- stead of these lands consisting of swamp and generally untillable soil, they would be reclaimed into fagricultural lands of the hjighest value. and thissimpty by the use of money, the turning over of which would mean greater interest with each succeeding transaction. § No man in the state wants to seq the school fund ‘impaired in, any way whateoever.

It was a white calendar, with black figures an ‘@ inch and a half large, which her |® husband brought from his office. On the squares of the dates she marked each day the ice deliv- ery, whether a ten or fifteen cent piece, the number of bottles of milk and dates for guests or special dinners in which the kitchen was interested. Certain evenings that she wished the i girl to stay in, etc., were also marked on the calendar, which thus served as an accurate re- minder to both mistress and maid. How to Use Fruit Baskets.

A capital story is being told in Paris of M. Loubet. The other afternoon a friend saw the ex-president seated in his carriage on the boulevards. Quite two hours later the friend happened to pass again. Loubet was still there. Approaching the carriage. the passerby inquired: “Well, Emile, you have more leisure nowadays than you know what to do with, And madame?" “Mme. Loubet.” echoed the ex-president— “she’s quite well. She’s in there—-has been for two hours,” pointing to the shop. It was “Au Corset Mystere.” “It will be a mystery to me.” added Loubet. “if she gets fitted by dinner. She certainly won't after.”—New York Sun. Slayer and Sleigher. In the first number of the Atlantic Monthly Ralph Waldo Emerson had a poem called “Brahma,” which puzzied both critics and common readers. Some said it was the greatest poem of the century. Some said it was non sense. The first verse ran as follows: If the red slayer think he slays, ery tramping or touring trip.

A man should make his toilet as care- fully for going to bed as for the busi- ness of the day. f Certain physical things are conducive to sleep, such as plenty of sweet, out- door air, the absence of noises, of lights and of bad odors and, above all, a feeling of tiredness... « There are also certain mental and spiritual preparations. ‘“' To be intensely interested in any- thing is fatal to sleep;:so also are the memory of a rankling failure, plan making, problem solving, apprehension, | shame and remorse. The soul must take off its interested- ness as the body must remove its vest- ments. Passions of any kind, craving and all heats are against sleep. One is very fortunate who has a hab- it of prayer, for there is nothing can } still the soul like purging the con- science before God, and cares, pricking annoyances, dreads and all mental ten- sions can be remedied in no way more satisfactorily than by letting the con- sciousness of God wash the soul. : A sense of friendliness and peace to- ward the infinite is the surest medicine for sleep. a How to Use Old Raincoat.
